Yesterday I had some of my worst nightmares lighting an evening scene in this set. Today is a different day all together. My lovely Silver bullet from @cinemills, a 7x7 cube 6.5 KW daylight SourceMaker balloon from @skyliteballoons and a 20x20 Full silent grid that my Best Boy @robosborne hang from the trees! What a difference a day makes! 😎👊🏻

CINEMILLS SILVER BULLET Graced the Cover of Time Magazine - MadMen

CINEMILLS recently graced the cover of TIME Magazine for the final season of MadMen. In the cover, John Hamm and Christina Hendricks posing in the film set, and right in the middle of it, is our legendary lighting, Silver Bullet.

The show will surely be missed, as last episode of Mad Men premiered last night. As TIME mentioned, "IT MADE TELEVISION HISTORY BY MAKING HISTORY INTO TELEVISION."

Thank you, MadMen for entertaining us for several years!
