Hi
I'm starting the prep for my new feature and I'm getting close to shooting some test footage, which is something I like to do whilst I'm still writing the screenplay, so I know how I'm going to achieve the look I want.
The film is going to be shot in urban locations, on the streets, at night. I'm working on an impossibly low budget which means no generator.
What I'm looking for are some suggestions for DIY exterior lighting, that I can use in a city street at night, possibly off a portable power source.
Ambient light isn't going to help that much as it's about four or five stops short of being usable.
I have access to a set of redheads, if I need them, but powering them isn't going to be practical in all locations.
The key points here are cheap, portable and alternative power source.
