Filmed on various interior sets and sound stages in North American studios Trilith y Shadowbox, as well as outdoors, with the humid and changeable climate of Atlanta (Georgia), This science fiction film has used moving heads as a key element Elation Fuze Max Profile y Proteus Maximus, integrated by the lighting console programmer Eric ‘TK’ Androvich.

“The Fuze Max Profile are a fantastic option for film and television,” says Androvich.. They are full spectrum led engine provides exceptional color quality, at both tungsten and daylight color temperatures, which makes them very versatile luminaires that we can use in a wide variety of situations”.

In addition to its color reproduction and durability, Proteus Maximus luminaires, con IP65 rating, “they worked very well outdoors and on our condor equipment, and proved reliable over many weeks of outdoor assembly in the cold, wet Georgia winter climate.”, Androvich adds..

Indoors, This expert mounted the Fuze Max Profile on poles, elevators and platforms, which he used both for a projector effect and to simulate daylight. He also integrated several Netron EN12 nodes of Obsidian Control Systems in the lighting network to guarantee reliable management.

"Nowadays, Moving heads are the Swiss Army knives of cinematic lighting - explains Androvich.. We continue to find new uses and applications in each job. Son ideal for mounting in hard-to-reach places or in unmanned aerial lifts; They can replace many of the 'hard' lights we use and offer more flexibility and speed. We even use them indirectly by bouncing light or passing them through diffusion.”.

In this last aspect, this lighting designer points out that “color accuracy is vital, and we got some exceptional CRI and TLCI readings de los Fuze Max Profile. The absence of flickering at typical camera speeds it is equally important. Smooth dimming from 100% even the blackout is too, as we often hide subtle lighting changes during moving shots”.

Long-format productions require extensive planning and coordination prior to production. “The basic function is to transfer the wishes of the lighting and photography directors to the console to make them come true.”. This comes down to setting levels, colors and positions of lights, plano a plano. Nowadays, “Many want their programmers to give them ideas”, concludes.
