Change the moon into the sun with the A7S and a fast lens. Exchange your 1K ARRI Spotlight for a flashlight. Use an iphone light and a diffuser instead of a soft box.
Need permits? How can they see that you are shooting a film... when they can barely see what you are doing?
Portable lights like LED lights from your phone and flashlights means no cables, no wires, no generators.
Very low light shooting means you can go to public places and shoot under the cover/protection of night. Nobody (at least for the moment) will even suspect what you are doing.
Because you are shooting in the moonlight, you don't have the sun-related issues to worry about:
- Dehydration
- Sunburn
- Heat exhaustion
- Sweat ruining makeup
- Sweat ruining hair and clothes
- More parking options at night generally
What does the end product look like? Take a look at the video.
The one caveat: Better find a remote location away from city lights. they can overpower the scene and blow out entire buildings to white.
