Jack Nitz Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I don't know if this is a lost cause, but I'm wondering if it's possible to create ambient soft moonlight over a roughly 30x30 area, without the use of a balloon or crane, and being limited to a Honda EU7000is. My initial thought is to stem two mombo stands to 24' with a 12x12 ultra bounce parallel to the ground. Lighting to a T2.8, 180 shutter, ISO 800 (or 1600 if needed), I was thinking bouncing a joleko or M18 might do the trick, to get to about 2 stops under? But I guess my concerns would be losing too many footcandles by the time it reaches the subjects, or it feeling too sourcey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted May 13, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted May 13, 2020 Sure, that might work. Just be aware that you'll need a lot of ropes to secure something that high and if the wind picks up, those stands will get bent. I've had similar ideas involving using string lights with small daylight LED or compact flos in them, strung back and forth across a frame. And should be less susceptible to wind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
