This was years ago. I had to shoot three guys in a field on 4x5 chrome film but they needed it to be at like f/32 with studio-type lighting. I had to get a 12’ x 12’ scrim and a frame and high roller stands and we had to use sandbags and stakes in case it was windy.
I used two Speedotron quad-tube heads with two 4800 watt second packs. We had a diesel generator. The cool thing was that when I’d trip the shutter and fire all eight flash heads, the generator would rev up. It was the coolest my camera ever sounded.
I learned mainly that some art directors are fucking insane.
