 p.1 #3 · Help Needed - Unique Lighting Situation | |
Personally, I would not be approaching something like this as a 2-light endeavor. Were I responding to the brief, I'd probably be planning something like 8-10 Nikon SB-800 Speedlights, probably only using diffusion, gels and Cinefoil for modifiers, working with either CLS or PocketWizards for triggering. Were price no object I'd go with Profoto 7B's instead, probably 4 packs and 8 heads, but that dramatically increases the load-in weight and need for assistants.
I'd also plan on having some kind of battery-powered worklights, since I wouldn't have modeling lights to work with. Everything would be packed into Pelican cases for transport, as I understand that mines are both very dirty and very wet. I would also make sure that there was a budget for a tech scout of the actual location, and I'd spend time shooting proof-of-concept shots in a space like a dark garage or warehouse to make sure that my lighting approach was sound.
I'd probably go with an oblique hard-light approach, limiting each light to small areas and using them to specifically light just small parts of the frame. Using color to separate objects. Backlighting and rimlighting more than front-lighting to maintain the sense of being in a dark space.
But you may have more luck with questions like these in the Lighting forum.
