    Well there are plans in the works that will use it.

    I’m actually the camera man who lights and shoots the scene, the director, the video editor, post production, flash designer / developer, and more, but hey the videos actually keep getting better and better and I respect every single individual field in the world now because theres so much that goes into everything. But lighting a curved wall with stationary lights was a new one as I’m only familiar with scene lighting.

    I sent the equipment request to them and hopefully it works out.

    Thanks for your help!

    Thank you that was helpful.

    I had to figure out how to set up the power required yesterday pretty much on the fly for the electrician so we planned overboard and have 10 circuits set up to power this and the two computers etc.

    As far as mounting and installation we have that with no problem. We basically took over a shell of a very large 4 story building and are building the interior to what we want.

    The main problem with lighting a large green screen of course is shadows or variations in light. So I didnt know what would be best to use to light such a huge green screen that would keep the light even all the way around it.

    The only thing I found when searching this site for green screen was the smaller little green screens and the portable lights used.. but nothing in regards to mounting lights in the ceiling for a large screen etc.

    I noticed you said a small green screen set.. if 36 feet across and 9′ high is small… what in the world is a big one? 🙂

    I’ll start digging around on that site and try to figure out everything needed. Thanks a lot.

    Look I agree with you three. And I completely understand, but bosses dont always seem to be logical. I wish things worked that way. I’ll create a layout of the room. The screen is about 9′.

    Can you at least recommend what type of lights to mount in the ceiling? or a location in which to go purchase them myself that I could at least look at them?

    I did search briefly by the way but found nothing… but that doesnt mean it’s not in the forums. That’s what I meant with the search comment.

    I’m well aware of how all this looks, but what the heck else am I supposed to do??? If I sit there and just say I dont know, sorry, hire someone else, they’ll bring in a couple of mag lite flashlights and say good luck. So instead of saying I dont know I came here for help.
