about the project
Two day job for a fast food chain with DP Cory Burmester and gaffer Josh Hensley. Had just about a little of everything - dolly and track, interior and exterior lighting, swimming in a pool, condor rig, technocrane. For exterior lighting we mainly used 18k’s gelled to 1/4 or 1/2 CTO. For the condor rig we build a support structure out of Modulus-X truss for the electricians to hang their lights. Dolly of choice on this one was the Fisher Model 10 and when on track I prefer skate wheels over track wheels.

My standard swatter built. Triangle truss with 1 steel. 8’ verticals for the goalpost with a 5’ horizontal. Wigs from the bucket to the tri truss. Kickers on the goalpost. 20’ kickers from the goalpost to the 20x20 frame. 2x belly lines to finish it off.

ModX Rolling Soft Toplight
by:
Brendan Riel
We built this mobile toplight softbox using 6" ModX truss to serve four different sets inside a tight studio space with limited overhead clearance. The goal was to keep costs down and avoid building duplicate overhead rigs or ground units for each set. So, we designed a rolling, double-layered softbox that could easily move from set to set—and double as an in-frame ceiling piece when needed.
The structure measured 14’x14’ OD and held two 12x12 frames: one with 1/2 grid and one with bleached muslin. The bleached muz was rigged with a pulley system, allowing us to raise or drop the rag when we needed to bring it into the scene as a ceiling element. We punched LiteTile through both rags for soft, consistent coverage.
For mobility, we mounted the whole rig on C&C Studio Services tri-casters.
