Off Camera flash in a big space

Location shoot @ Midway Airport in Chicago, worked around a video crew to make stills for a cable television show. Group and individual pics in a near empty hangar - gelled a few flashes to add a bit of color to a dark background. A total of five flashes used on stands, three in the background @ 1/4 power were gelled w/blue, two in the foreground @ 1/2 power were diffused with Sto-Fen Omni-bounce diffusers next to the video lights to mimic their set up. Flashes were triggered with four Pocket Wizard plus units and one Wein peanut optical slave trigger, (ran out of PW's). The most difficult part of the shoot was pushing the other planes out of the way onto the runway... just kidding.
