Lighting question

[August McCue]

I have a night shoot that is located in a corn field maze and just found out Northern California has a law against generators in this area. Any thoughts on how to get by with my Arri 1ks? 

 

I have the Aputure Amarans H672s set. But that wont be enough for a wide shot with about 8 subjects in frame. Any ideas on how to get around that. Would like to avoid buying more lights at the moment or pick up some Light Storms.

Various options:

1) ignore stupid laws, use generator

2) beg/borrow/steal more LED lights & batteries

3) beg/borrow/steal a7S

4) shoot day-for-night

5) ditch the wide shot, and shoot around it

I vote for the low light cam with a fast lens for the wide shot.

Night for day +1

Night for day - (minus) 1

And low light cam - (minus) 1

If you've ever done videos at night or even indoors where you control the light with externals... There is no going back.

Invest in lights with V-mount battery adapter.

For now day for night is going to be out of the question because we have some long shoots and if we move them to the day were going to be getting some sweaty talent with the hot summer weather. LEDs seems to be the best option but I may need to pick up a Pixapro Mk II and or some other affordable LED optinons to go with the aputure.
