Here is the final pole connection. To the right is the 3rd pole, and to the left the fourth and final pole.
Next posts will be what this contraption in use looks like from the floor to the ceiling, and, as I've said before, it should be good for some laughs.

Have thought about a window to fit the opening with a built in blind.

You could consider a telescoping painter's pole, if the length is enough for your need.

There are lighting gels available for photographic use. They come in sheets and rolls and can be had in a variety of colors and "neutral densities" designed to cut the amount of light from a source.
here is an example of the variety available; http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/searc...&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ma&Top+Nav-Search=
You could get some interesting effects from your skylight if want to.

Starting at the bottom of the 12 ft. pole, from the carpeted floor.

Final pole before the skylight cover, which you can see the corner of.

You can now see the hinges on the bottom of the skylight cover, with the hook on the end of the fourth and final pole just resting against the cover, not engaged to and eyehook, because both of the previously installed eyehooks tore loose, the one in the middle quite obvious. with the sunlight streaming thru the hole in the plywood left where the large washer of the eyehook tore out a section of the plywood.
Hope these photos of this rickety contraption will cause a lot of you to laugh out loud, or at least put a smile on your face.

So if you had build that out of 1/4" plywood it would still be working, I would just add magnet to that.
