Todd,
Thanks for the quick reply. We have about 3-4 hours to shoot this and we’ll be jockeying for position with two other camera crews, so an extensive lighting set up isn’t feasible. If we had the time to throw lots of softboxes up that would be lovely, but I think getting the entire thing lit and also having a certain amount of mobility to the lights is paramount. My questions was more if 4 10k HMIs with 10′ diffusion sails (or a couple light balloons) would adequately and evenly light and 80′(possibly 60′) train.
The train isn’t black, btw, but a modern high speed one with probably a pastel glossy skin.
