Project BTS
SEAMLESS MUSLIN SOFTBOX
about the project
8’x25’x4’ seamless bleached muslin softbox provided most of our soft top daylight ambiance for this spot. ModX top frame with pipe bottom frame. We wrapped the bottom pipe with plastic to protect the muslin from dirt. Seamless was important for car reflections. We baffled the inside of the box with 1/4 grid for added softness. We helped art hang an 18’ tall 60’ length translight with some truss and motors. Went motors down so we wouldn’t have to run too much cable and picked to beams above with beam clamps. We planned on doing everything with truss and motors but had to cut some because of budgetary reasons. So we went old fashioned with 2 runs of ladder truss, pipe and pulleys for more lighting points. The pulleys just served as line redirects and provided no mechanical advantage.
