Negative fill help!!!!

[cat_in_the_wood]

I've shot a few videos with friends, but for the first time I'm in charge and doing a lot of the directing/cinematography. We're shooting in a savannah and I have reflectors if need be, but I wanted to set up a negative fill rig that is portable but can cover a decent amount of space. Any advice, resources, or examples? I searched this forum but didn't see anything. Thanks for your help.

Anything that does not reflect light, and can block light.

4x4 floppies are good. They can unfold and be 4x8, or be 'table-topped' for specific uses.

If you need bigger, you can always try and get solid rags for larger frames like 8x8 or bigger.

In savannah huh? SCAD?... or like a savanna/savannah as in Africa or elsewhere?

Black California King bed sheets are great for laying on the ground, & are easier to transport then duvetyne. This technique is especially useful to avoid underlighting when shooting backlit.
