Challenge

• Night Exterior Scene to be filmed in difficult locations
• First location San Bernardino Foothills Night location shoot, need to light a large area with multiple lights one being a 5K led. The area is inaccessible to vehicles, high fire risk, need film scene with dialogue real location record sound.
• First test the SunCases on mountain road location shoot where a centralized generator couldn’t reach.
• Production Shoot- two nights of filming with four actors.
• Second location Streets of Los Angeles Night- First scene Chinatown dialogue. Second scene back streets of Los Angeles three separated lights. Two light were set in fixed location about 100 feet apart, each had its own designated SunCase . The third light was place in the back of a truck with the camera operator. This light used the NUE 48 volt direct connect power station. The truck the with light and camera operator lead a motorcycle for one quarter of a mile to where the driver was to meet another man. The two lights illuminated both the street and actors. The scene also required the recording of dialogue.
• During the shoot a ranger stopped by seeing the large light that was being used and the power would traditionally be a gas generator. He was surprised to find the light were being power by the NUE power unit. He allowed us to continue
• If successful, utilize SunCases for Dark Gospels, for a few location shoots with quick setup, no noise, and without sacrificing creative ability.
  Power loads include professional grade-LED lighting, camera and sound recording equipment.

Results

• The initial tests proved successful.  Multiple location night shoots with scenes that included complex live action motorcycle shots that required dialogue. The Setups in each situation was complete in minutes.
• The shot wouldn’t have been possible without the SunCases and the Direct connect 48 volt power station which untethered the lighting, camera and sound equipment in a high fire risk Mountainside, Chinatown and the backstreets of Los Angeles and the back of the camera truck.
• Cost Comparison: NUE power all three locations cost was only for talent and Director of Photography
• Traditional Costs: Traditional way of filming 3 locations - would have required; gas powered generators, fire marshal, if the location was allowed to be permitted, water truck and a process trailer with police escort. 
• Low $15,000 high $35,000
