A lightweight, soft light source can be pretty vital when you're working on a budget - you don't really want to be hanging heavy lights on a cheaper boom arm. Sirui's A100B is a great tool to overcome this problem and we simply used a heavy duty boom arm (counter weighted - still important) to shoot most of these images. As a bonus, the magnetic mount can be stuck to metal surfaces, and although hanging the light upside down by it's magnets won't work too well, it can be a super handy option as a magnetic wall-mount - like we demonstrated in the kitchen scene, with the fridge.
