DIY Reflectors for Small Crews
I dig DIY solutions. It’s like having good pre-production, you work to find or make exactly what you want and you don’t have to compromise as much when it comes to actual production. You can make the tailor-made product rather than trying to find the best fit available, which isn’t always a perfect fit. Neumann films has a great DIY solution for reflectors with small crews. Reflectors are hugely beneficial but also require some manpower when used outside like they demonstrate in the video.
This is one of many solutions I’ve seen for this exact problem, one that I’ve used is pretty similar but it utilizes your existing 5-in-1 reflector and a similar particle board or other more wind-resistant material. All you need to do is simply bungee or tape the reflector to the board. That’s a more short-term solution for specific shots but has similar effect and means you aren’t carrying the heavy board to every scene, just the scenes you need it.
