LIGHTING SPECIAL
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. Rosco Rosco’s DMG lights boast exceptional colour mixing and control thanks to the company’s patented MIX technology, which blends red, green, blue, amber, lime and white. Whether simulating car headlights or candlelight, the DMG line can mimic almost any colour or fixture while 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 energy-efficient fixtures and
Nanlite Encouraging outdoor use in inclement weather, Nanlite offers waterproof bags and casings for select pixel tubes and LED panels, as well as IP54-rated battery packs. Handy for when stuck in the rain, these housings also enable underwater use at up to 10m of depth. LED PROCESSING Special recognition Brompton Technology Founded in 2011, Brompton Technology has since established itself firmly as an industry leader in LED processing. Having won awards for its flagship processor, the Tessera SX40, and more recently picking up a Guinness World Record, the company has been at the forefront of innovation since its very beginning. 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. 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.
