Fire - The best way to light/fake it.

[dave12781]

I have a shoot coming up in about a month where people are in a burning building. I know I've seen a professional light somewhere that can flicker 4 lights to simulate light from a fire. Does anyone know what it is called? Or does anyone have a good idea to light an entire back wall to look as if the room is on fire?

Thanks.

Better grip/ electric houses carry "Flicker Boxes" for this task. You can also try using open frame gel holders with full cto and straw gels moving in front of open face lights. You can also add some gold Mylar as well.
Experimentation on your set is best, depending on the look you want.
