We are currently looking into more carbon-neutral and sustainable sources of location power
For example, the Panalux AmphiTubeX1™ is a low-voltage (SELV), portable lighting system that is safe on land and underwater. Containing high- power LEDs, the tubes are specially sealed for use underwater, tested to 30 metres. The convection cooling system allows the tubes to be used wet or dry at full power impressing gaffers throughout Europe and South Africa. As technology has become more intuitive and reactive, so have lights and the way they are controlled – such as through apps. Apps allow simplified customisation and ease of use, especially on demanding rigs or enclosed sets. The focus remains on the lights and the effect they create, enabling cinematographers and gaffers
think the rise to full-frame will be a steady one. That said, I believe it is inevitable. Matt Marner: We’ve invested in the latest cameras and lenses from all the major manufacturers. I believe this will be a niche market for the higher-end production. Definition: Is development in the lighting business slowing down? How will apps help? Should all lighting companies be developing apps? Judy Doherty: As one of the world’s largest manufacturers of modern lighting equipment, Panalux, a Panavision company, is constantly innovating, expanding and creating a more user- friendly experience for gaffers and cinematographers.
