Short film

about the rig

8x8x4 softbox / moon box on a JLG 1255 gradall. Built with ModTruss 6” & 12”. Built the upper skeleton of the box out of 6” and beefed up the carriage attachment points with 12”. 12” vertical allowed for pipe triangulation to the box corners. Strapped it together with 2” ratchet straps, chalked behind the 12” to sit securely against the carriage. Taped the chalks in place to make sure they didn’t fall. Hard mounted SK’s to the carriage and secured to the 12” vertical with short pipe and hollaenders. Diffusion was full grid and box contained 6x Skypanel S60’s. Duve side was removed to turn it into a moon box for some setups.
