moonligth softbox

a softbox we built for bernhard keller on the film" fallen". we were doing big exteriors of a wedding on a windy hill outside of vienna. we wanted to create a very soft moonlight feel as a backlight. because there was no way we could use balloon lights we built a 6"x6"x6" softbox and bounced 9 minibrutes (9lights) into the the full grid we had rigged around a custom made speedrailbox. the back was covered with a silverbounce, the bottom with muslin so we would not reveal the position of the light which we rigged onto a condor crane so we could control the softbox from the remote. we gelled the minibrutes with a 1/4 blue and 1/8 green. it turned out looking really fantastic because the tungsten light gave the moonlight such a tender feel. all the lights of the party tents we dimmed down to increase the difference of the colour range.
