Used to transfer baby chicks to "camp".
Interior of trailer is aluminum.
Roof liner is white vinyl.
Challenge is lighting without the lights reflecting off polished aluminum walls.
All ears if anybody has solution for this.
Bouncing light off the roof interior sound reasonable?
 
My initial thought is to get some plywood for the trailer walls, not the cheap stuff mind you, but the veneer topped plywood. You can have Red Oak Ply which will add little color to the scene. Maple ply is a lttle too white for my taste and Walnut is too dark.

If you light from the back and sides with the plywood, even if you made fake slats, so you could see some polished aluminum, you will only have minor reflections from the flooring to deal with.

I've shot some stuff on chrome diamond plate and it was miserable trying to minimise the reflections. We used a lot of dulling spray that day.

Bounce off of the ceiling...and use flags/blackwrap to keep the direct light from reflecting off the aluminium walls.
