Hollywood Lighting Partners shared with the students of the Long Beach City College television studios lighting department a technique on how to create a 2 way interview on stage.

We set a host and a guest up in 2 areas of the stage and created a split screen image on the board in the control room. The guest sits in front of a dock in Barcelona posted on a green screen behind her.

This easy effect is a way to put the news anchors and the weather girl on the same screen for viewers or also on-site sports reporters from the big game.

The way Hollywood Lighting Partners will light the past in the future.

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.

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.

Some shows have dimmer rooms. This new tv show has a room full of HMI ballasts. The grid in the bar has a ring of 4k’s around it that get turned on and off depending on the direction the camera is looking.

Hollywood Lighting Partners knows lights and water don’t mix.

By Admin April 13, 2015 April 13, 2015 Lighting Facts, show lights, Uncategorized

When lighting a pool or some event around water there are a number of reasons to be cautious. For example, water can conduct electricity so the possibility of shock is a big danger when electricity is introduced. Also when lights get wet they just don’t work unless designed specifically for water. Globes blow, fresnels break, wires arc, etc. The LED color blasters shown below were not too badly damaged when the splash from the high jump pool tried to drown them.

Remember electricity mixes with water about as well as oil.

Hollywood Lighting Partners promotes the Work Smarter Program and knows accidents happen but if you treat your gear right it will perform better with less headaches and people will be safer.
