about the project
12x12x6 softbox with magic cloth hung on 1/4 ton motors. Modulus-X 6” skeleton and 8x skypanel S60’s inside. We wanted some light to spill out on all sides to help illuminate the cyc walls so we went with sides that dropped 4’ and not the full 6’. Gaffer Dimitri Christoforidis didn’t rely solely on the spill from the softbox for illumination, he also used space lights. Played with a Fisher 11, helped set lighting offset one of their lights on a road runner, and hung some space lights.

Brendan Riel
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.
