Dark Side of the Camera
We all know the deal with the China balls right?
Dirt cheap nice light but when you set them up at the set they are not looking verry professional to your customer.
Here comes my idea.
You know those light tents they use for packshots?
They come in sizes from 40cm to 5 meters.
They pop up like reflectors are cheap and look way cool.
You can put in stronger lights than in the paper baloons without burning them down.
If you use four 75 watt neon bulbs (equivalent of 400 watt) you end up with a 1.6 k lightcube with just a load of 300 watt.
Hang 4 of them of a c-stand and you can even light a little night street scene with pretty moonlight.
You also can have cheap "car windshield sun protection mats" (don´t know the englsih word for those) inside the cube to direct light.
Just a thought....
