So I am looking for a way to add some rim light to a couple walking in the street during the day. The light needs to give them a feeling of being in late winter light. The scene is being shot with a stead. We can't install lights on the street. My idea is to use a boom like sound engineers use. To get it above and slightly behind them with some spill both behind and on one side of their faces. The light needs to be light enough for someone to walk with the couple (as if he was a sound guy).
My solution is to try and use a chinese ball which is light in weight and can be rotated up and down on the boom creating a feeling of incident sunlight occasionally hitting them - as if they were walking on a bridge with trestles that occasionally blocked or let the light through, or as if the sun was poking through the trees.
The problem is that I need to find a way to use LED's and it has to be powered off of batteries. No generators or AC current. I currently do this with LED panels and V-Mounts, but I have not seen a Chinese ball solution.
Your suggestions?
