LIGHTING SPECIAL
Rosco Rosco’s DMG lights boast exceptional colour mixing and control thanks to the company’s patented MIX technology, which combines red, green, blue, amber, lime and white. For simulating everything from car headlights to candlelight, the DMG line-up can mimic almost any colour or fixture, all while beautifully preserving skin tones. Fiilex Fiilex’s COLOR LEDs are bright punch lights which use the company’s Dense Matrix LED technology to unlock a new standard in colour quality and optical versatility. Suited to almost any environment, these products promise smooth dimming, precise control and convenient user customisation thanks to their swappable lenses. SUSTAINABILITY Greenkit It’s all in the name; Greenkit specialises in providing energy-efficient fixtures and concerns itself with shaping the future of film lighting. Helping to enable more sustainable filmmaking practices, Greenkit’s lights are not only more environmentally friendly but also less expensive to run and often incredibly portable, making them an obvious choice for today’s eco-minded creatives. Panavision Panavision – and Panalux by extension – is completely committed to creating a greener production industry through innovative, eco-friendly solutions. This is true whether it’s with energy-efficient LEDs or emission-free generators. Even its hybrid generator, the 40kW Power h40, only engages its diesel engine when recharging its battery array. Universal Production Services Universal prioritises environmental practices, stocking the latest, most energy-efficient LEDs as well as a range of battery-powered products. Its entire fleet of generator carrier vehicles also runs on hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) fuel, which significantly reduces emissions when compared to traditional fossil diesel.
ROE Visual One of the best-known brands in LED displays, ROE Visual is well poised for the future of virtual production (and has been there since the start; its Black Pearl panels were used on The Mandalorian ). ROE’s comprehensive product range suits a variety of VP scenarios, including those requiring an LED floor. Rosco With 109 years of industry expertise, Rosco has established itself as a lighting innovator. Throughout the continued rise of virtual production, Rosco has fit right in, offering both the SoftDrop customisable backdrop as well as the Chroma Key System, which creates a seamless VP space from floor to ceiling. Quasar Science Quasar’s Rainbow linear LEDs were purposefully designed for image-based lighting – a vital element of VP. Powerful sources which occupy little space, each light boasts vibrancy, intensity and realism above all else. COLOUR TECH Special recognition Aputure Aputure’s R&D team has been working tirelessly to develop innovative, industry- leading lighting and colour technology. Its latest achievement is the BLAIR-CG light engine (found in the Storm 80c and 1000c), which excels in matching existing colours from gels/other artificial sources.
Virtual production and in-camera VFX is one of many applications in which Brompton has excelled. Its LED processors stand out for their colour quality, made possible with the company’s TrueLight technology – a revolutionary innovation for skin tone preservation. This software is fundamental to the virtual filmmaking process, as it enables realistic lighting and reflections inside an LED volume. Perhaps most crucially, it offers creative flexibility when lighting a film set, thanks in large part to Brompton’s Dynamic Calibration, which maintains uniformity, colour accuracy, saturation and brightness when calibrating LED panels. No matter what might come next for the production industry, Brompton Technology will likely be one step ahead. LIGHTING FOR VP CHAUVET Professional A Kino Flo brand, CHAUVET Professional provides LED displays – among a vast inventory of other lighting products. The REM MIRA , REM 3IP and REM 1 are the latest additions, while the MT-07 is a new tool for easy panel installation and removal. MARS Volume MARS Volume is more than lighting; it’s a full VP solution that blends game engines, tracking technology, graphics servers and – of course – LED displays. Its London facility features a curved LED wall and 176 sq m ceiling, designed to hold vehicles for simulated travel – and to light these scenes seamlessly.
