Creative Options
“There was no other way we could do this movie. And that’s because thanks to the High End Systems fixtures we could give (Bruno Delbonnel, cinematographer) so many creative options. It really made it easy for everybody.”
Bold Color
“Because CNN is a WarnerMedia brand, the Jolly Rancher-toned red you get out of other panel fixtures was not going to cut it,” says Bernstein. The fact this deep red was available on the fos/4 Fresnel was also key, literally. “Lights seen on camera
would do a nice white for key or fill color, then as soon as shot moved, the fixtures would switch to effects colors – red for CNN, or something more jazzy for Adult Swim as eye candy. It had to be fos/4, and they completely delivered.”
Eye Candy
“Just about every position had either a TurboRay or a SolaPix in its shot. We used them on the floor as low-level eye candy. Wide bump shots showed off the fixtures the best, and both fixtures looked beautiful on camera.”
Decades of History
“The color from ETC’s X8 fixtures is so warm and natural. It’s obvious that their heritage is a tungsten light source.”
24/7/365 Support
“We have 260 days of shooting, with more than three teams per day – almost 1000 days of filming per year. You can’t afford to have a studio at a standstill because of technical problems. Having a quality product and good support, in addition to
the fos/4 Panels being covered by ETC’s 24/7/365 technical support are reassuring criteria.”
