A few months ago I got to gaff @jessiereyez video for the song Fraud for DP @jackyanchen and director @emmaaverage.
At any given time we had minimum 16 @asteraofficial Titan Tubes being controlled via CRMX with a @ratpaccontrols Satellite and @blackoutlightingconsole, flickering their lives away. With a total of 40 Titan’s in play by the end of the day spread across 4 different sets in an industrial office building slated for demolition.
By far the biggest heroes of the day were our @dmglumiere fixtures though. In the first frame, and any frame featuring “the throne” you’ll see a glorious soft overhead light which was created by rigging 2x Maxi Mix’s in the ceiling via daisy chains and carabiners to the fixture’s built in rigging points. We played them bare without their diffusion panels and added a belly of a single sheet of 216, and some grid cloth then Macgyver’d some flourescent style louvres underneath them.
As well, following us from set to set we had a DMG Mini Mix w/ an @dopchoice snap grid. These fixtures are small but powerful, and we could throw it up in the drop ceiling at a moments notice or as quick backlight like in the lock picking scene of the video, or in the case of the throne room again, place it hidden in the set pieces alongside some CRMX capable Dash’s.
We had an @brokehlighting 6x6 and 4x4’s that lived in front of some S60’s which were controlled by @lumenradio Moonlites for the day as the skin tones of our talent ran the gamut, so having something that works for that was a must.
