Or if one was to get into an accident on the way to a shooting location...there's a possibility of silver nitrate and potassium cyanide flying everywhere in the car!

Get some 3M Super Trim Adhesive in the spray can. Follow instructions. I used this stuff for years doing custom vans. It works when no other adhesive will.
Check out the Ian Ruhter site - www.ianruhter.com. He does wet plate out the back of a truck. Fantasic work! He also does workshops for kids during the year. Nice guy too, my lf class did a skype with him. "The Alchemist" video on the site shows him and the crew working. Massive plates.
Just read this. I use a $20 Lightning McQueen kids tent from Walmart in the back of my truck. I covered it with the thin light tight material from Freestyle and it works great. The tent is 4'x5' and red so if any light gets through it doesn't do any damage. Let me find a photo and I will post it.
ok. Here are a few photos of my set up. Since these photos were taken I have added a Leer cover to the back of the truck so I could leave the tent set up when I traveled. That saved a lot time and reduced the wear on the tent poles which are pretty cheap. This set up with out the cover worked great though and was the easiest & cheapest option I could find when I began shooting wet plate. The space inside the tent is large (around 4'x5'). I shoot 8x10 but it could easily work with 11x14 or maybe even 16x20. Since the light tight material is light and thin I added some bocchi balls (plastic balls filled with water) to the corners of the shroud portion. It is white on the outside and black on the inside. I use a red led head lamp for work inside the tent.
That looks neat for a utility vehicle. And a very convenient working height. I must ask, how do you stop the light from leaking up underneath? Some kind of elastic "hole" that you poke through or something?
I need to put some benches in my van.. The kneeling is a little awkward after a while.
I'd imagine he would wrap the clothe around him and lean against the truck bed to keep the light out? Idk that would be my guess
It's a bit off-topic, but do you know the film about Tadeusza Rolke?
