Lighting for dolly shot… is this crazy?

[Todd Terry]

Thanks Rick… but sadly no, I’m in Huntsville Alabama…. Rocket City, USA.

We are two hours south of Nashville, and usually easily get any grip equipment that we don’t already own there… since there is a pretty substantial film industry there (and they crank out big-budget music videos like crazy). Production must be good there these days, since the inventory is dry. Our next closest choice is Atlanta… but that’s double the distance and some of the Nashville grip companies had even been trying to get Fishers out of Atlanta but finding inventories bare there, too.

We’ll probably go with doorway, or just a platform dolly we have. The weight will help. We’re not going to be shooting 35mm anymore since a couple of computers have been added as working props in the scene and my 35mm camera doesn’t have a variable shutter to deal with the likely strobing. So I’m going HD with our P+S Technik converter so I can shoot clearscan. But on the upside, that rig is even heavier than my 35mm camera, so we’ll have some ballast. Or, do like David Lynch and pile on as many sandbags as the thing will hold.

Thanks…….
