20XECLIPSE / 20XLighted CLOUD - Pulls Double Duty Diffusing the Day & Lighting Up the Night
Since the introduction of the Grip Balloon (a.k.a. "20XECLIPSE") this useful tool has found its way onto numerous sets providing 1 - 2 STOP's of knockdown diffusion, working as a floating blue / green screen, bounce / black out, walk and talk shots for both interior and exterior use.
1 STOP's "20XECLIPSE" now works as a "20XLighted CLOUD" - serving both Grip & Set Lighting. We've outfitted the same 1 STOP ECLIPSE with specially designed lighting harnesses housing 16 x 1K Tungsten lamps (via 8 x 2K circuits) enabling this unit to diffuse the day and light up the night. Lamps are installed as part of the initial set up, once this unit is helium filled the 20XECLIPSE works throughout the day providing a clean 1 STOP of diffusion and then cabled up for power providing up to 16K of Tungsten lighting. Additional lighting control is available with the use of stand alone dimmers.
The "20XECLIPSE" does not require stands and therefore takes up hardly any footprint. Units expand and contract with the use of zippers and are easily moved about to work as a tabletop to a vertical wall and all points in between in just minutes. "20XECLIPSE's" have been assembled as 20' x 40', 20'x 60', 40' x 40' & 40' x 60'. 20XECLIPSE's and can be helium or air filled. 40' x 40' have been setup and suspended from cranes while controlling its position via guy lines that go to the ground.
