I've got a crazy idea for a very short short. (As I like to made very short shorts now and then )
For this I need full control on streetlights, so I figured I need to put about 8 streetlights in a dark forest with on and off switches at the control post. I was thinking to use 250W halogeen bulb for the streetlights and use daylight Kino Flos as 'moonlight' (both as backlight and as softened front light).
Plus some small daylight litepanels with softbox to fill shadows in the face during close ups.
(Yes, we're shooting at night: preferrably on C300 or RED Scarlet/Epic: depending on who's getting on board Backup camera: 5D MkII)
It will take some work and lots of wiring.
We will bring to 'silenced' generators, but since 60 dB isn't really quiet yet, when you're in a deserted area, I'm thinking to silence them further with insulation foam (without smoothing the intake and exhaust).
And we'll bring a smoke machine to add mist and 'drama'.
Has anyone tried this before?
If so: any things I should not forget?
Or is this just an insane plan?
