Hollywood Lighting Partners would like to thank the Arri Group of partners for their contributions to the entertainment industry. Besides great cameras, Arri makes an 18K daylight balanced light called the Arrimax. Since technically we have grown beyond film and into the HD world we have had to adjust lighting for video chips. Granted the new high end HD cameras can see 10+ stops of light we still need to be concious of contrast and exposure. These Arri lights are great for squirting diffused daylight onto your set where ever the camera may need to see it filling in the shadows or blasting in some hard light as if the sun was coming straight in the window.

Thank you Arri.

Long Beach City College lighting class thanks Hive Lighting for sharing plasma lights

If you have never heard of plasma light then you may have missed science class in grade school. It is not something we all understand but it is a real and visible light. According to the HIVE Lighting web page http://hivelighting.com it says the following about Plasma light-

Hive Lighting is plasma, each bulb a microstar, a ball of super heated noble gases, captured in a quartz capsule the size of a kernel of corn. Hive combines the bulb with revolutionary optical systems in fixtures we are proud to source, manufacture and design all locally in the entertainment capital of the world.

The instructor of Long Beach City College’s lighting class gave a homework assignment to reach out to the hollywood lighting industry and invite whoever you choose to contact to be a guest speaker to our class. One ambitious student contacted HIVE Lighting located in downtown Los Angeles who manufactures, rents and sells a line of plasma based lighting fixtures and Hive accepted. Our students were blessed to have them recently visit our studio.

These fixtures have the capability to be color temperature controlled to a certain degree and can be used in the Hollywood film and tv industry as well as architectural applications. The daylight colors are as blue or bluer as you may need. On the warm side of the Kelvin scale these fixtures can be dialed to around 4500′-4700′ K. The rest of the color balancing of the light to make it produce 3200′ K is done with a half CTO gell. The lamps can be diffused with various included frames.

Hive was very cool about coming to our school studio and setting up one of their lamps for our class to experience. Shown in the photo below is a lamp called the WASP. Hive also shared sunglasses with our class as seen in the photo above.

Long Beach City College lighting class would like to extend a grateful ‘thank you’ to Hive Lighting for sharing with us. It is this extension of education and reaching out that brings our community together. There is also a level of industry maintenance, as these upcoming producers now have new knowledge and a friend in the business when it comes to questions about renting lights.

Divine lighting is a gift from the Lord for All to be enlightened by

Hollywood Lighting Partners didn’t get asked to light this monument in Brazil, the CNN tour in Toronto or anywhere else in the world but wanted to take a minute to recognize the beautiful tribute to our French brothers and sisters from lighting technicians worldwide.

Quality lighting doesn’t just happen. It’s what lighting technicians do!

By Admin November 14, 2015 November 14, 2015 728 member, crew, lbccmvp, lighting designs, lighting director, Lighting Facts, local 728, peter pearce, scott spencer, set lighting designs, show lights, show looks, Uncategorized

Hollywood Lighting Partners knows that quality lighting doesn’t just happen. Many think you can just get a good camera and start shooting, but in reality the best way to get quality footage is to use quality lighting to enhance the look of your project. Taking this time and step ensures that your camera can actually see the story you are trying to tell as opposed to just seeing everything you point it at.

Hollywood is full of quality lighting technicians and many can be found on our IATSE Local 728 Set Lighting Technician roster. Unfortunately our local doesn’t list the roster on it’s web page so we remain nameless.

The good thing is that as technicians in Hollywood we get to work with some of the best equipment and biggest names in production on the biggest lots. It is great experience and can be a lot of fun.

Whether it’s conventional tungsten lighting, dmx controlled moving lights, LED, HMI, theatrical/commercial/live show or your christmas lights for the holidays, 728 electricians are knowledgable and familiar. We are there to support cinematographers and our Local 600 brothers and sisters to help create the looks that win the awards for the director’s chair folks and the video village crowds.
