Solution?

[Sherman]

Shooting motorized wheelchair negotiating 100 ft obstacle course.
Point is to show action of retrofit suspension system.
Looking for input on how best to light such an indoor location.
Anybody ever used two dollies for such a shoot.
One for the camera, one for a light?
Am thinking stationary may present a shadow issue, and present an for the camera dolly.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Dollied lights used to used a lot in the early days of film. The issue you'll have is keeping the lights steady on the object, takes some practice but can se done. Pplan on plenty of cable wranglers and few more take then usual.

Battery powered, 200 joker with small chimera,or- chinese lantern rigged off of C-stand(attached to dollie) OR- 2 ft.-2 bank Kino or similar light, rigged just below camera lens.
I have shot a few" walking and talking" interviews, we used either a Fischer dollie or a Western dollie, rigged with a C-stand and gobo arm, to hold a chinese lantern to the left or right of lens to serve as a key light. Worked great.
