Flashbulbs - Red Carpet Event

[afasoas]

Hi,

This is the second time where I've been asked by a PR company to help create a "scene" at a staged event. It's basically three/four photographers papping models as if they were celebrities as they get in and out of taxis at given locations.

What's the closest thing to a "flash bulb" I can get onto a dSLR?

I've already got one of these:

And one of these:

We've also got a Gary Fong lightsphere.


But I was wondering if there was anything else on the market? I'm open to ideas... I'd even go as far as a few film SLRs with something that looks like an old fashioned flash bulb if I could obtain them quickly/easily enough.

Thanks

ebay would be a good place to start

looks like there's a thing or 2 that might do

Bird nest box with a lens on entry hole.
Then ******* a candle or two on top and hold it like a camera.

Speaks volumes and says it all.

Of course you would need be in the shot

I would run standard nikon guns in su4 mode placed on top of vintage cameras such as tlr rolleiflexs or even speedgraphics if you can get them. Maybe potato masher Metz as well.
