How to Shoot on Location WITHOUT Electricity

Oftentimes, filmmakers will find unique locations that look perfect for the story, but are nightmares for production. Sometimes, there aren’t enough bathrooms. Other times, there’s no available parking. On this shoot, we don’t even electricity. So how do even begin to start lighting? Most productions would think about generators first, which is the industry-standard solution in most cases, but they pose a series of problems. They require refills on gasoline everyday that you’re running them, they are bad for the environment, and they are LOUD. However, if you have LED light sources like ours, you can use rechargeable v-mount batteries and a compact mobile battery like the Aputure Delta Pro, powered by EcoFlow, which are more lightweight, efficient solutions for locations such as these. In this video, we’ll show you how many lights can run off of this single power source, so you can correctly gauge how many lights and batteries to bring on your next production.
