  1. next time if you ask how to achieve this look the answer will be the same go and study, study not a lighting workshop, start from the manual, no need to spend money and time just a little download man..... stop asking something do for you.........study and do it http://www.arri.com/lighting/skypanel/products/s30_c/ download section user manual in english Leonardo Brocato Gaffer Rome Italy Loud studio Trastevere Roma www.loudphoto.it
  2. Maybe this time you need to study something like the skypanel manual... Will you been paid for that? Go chek gels it's funny i swear.
  3. Dear Francesco beautiful set up, can i ask a question? No gaffer at all? because this kind of things are the life of a gaffer like me...... so next time hire meeeeeeee. D25 it's the 2.5k version of the hmi fresnel line, the evolution of the 2.5 compact hmi i'm not so sure about the amount of light pushed it's more than an M18 because the d25 use a fresnel lens and the reflector of the m18 (wich is a par no lensen) it's a miracle in output, forget about vista beam not even comparable with an arrisun 4k (super sure about that despite what kino says) also i think it's useless to comparate full spot photometrics because of the differences of the fixtures andbecause i'ts very rare to use full spot an hmi. If you want to talk about this or other set up i would love it because it's my work of every day. In our language it's also more easy Grazie a presto e buona pasqua Happy easter guys
  4. i think it's a 12v powered, to work with line power you need a variable power supply, cut away the xlr,you can D-TAP to a vmount battery or use a battery, duracell made this MN21 12v micro battery, if you use a variable power supply from 6 to 18v you can also dimm it down.
  5. In Italy grid cloth it's grid cloth we usually use othEr language therms Not like French. The hylarious Thing it's how People over 40 years or non English spoken called It LiKe glic cloc or Greed clok or cli clo' I Can write a Book with example of equipment lists with The Most Strange terminology, i've seen also from important Dp Things like keno flu or clic click or Ding ding (for inkie dinky) or skeit welch for skate wheels.

  7. mh....you can't live without dim? and this is a problem........there are a lot of good old ways to take down a lamp... i think that more power and less wattage could be the future.....with the camera stepping to 800 iso. I don't know the quality of the plasma light because in my county no trace at all but i think could be the future.... leonardo brocato gaffer rome italy www.loudphoto.it
  8. i'm a huge fuc**ing tungsten fan i'm sorry Pippo, in italiano scrivo molte più cose, più intelligenti e sono molto più simpatico di così, se vuoi contattami pure in privato Leonardo Brocato Gaffer Rome Italy
  9. i said in my experience... it's not the brand or the tipe....it's a matter of technology in my tipe of work a spacelight of 40 cm it's useless, i have 3 CFL of Kino flo, i said Kino flo not Dynasun and those 3 cfl i can't use for video because are not flicker free due to cfl tech, and the CRI it's not so high for a kinoflo product. On the website it's written 500w equivalent.... and this is not the same, also use the number 575w to misunderstood the power of an hmi it's terrific... It depends on what you need to do with these.

  10. Absolutely can't be..... in my experience.. if you think it's cheap buy it for the white skiirt and then recable with something really lighting.... depends on what you need it for....the classic spacelight (in italy called skypans) can be also with 4x625 w quartz bulb...

  11. Need to know some more i Think you are in 110v so i Cannot help you but If you have Three fases Just put one load for each Leonardo Brocato Gaffer Rome Italy
  12. Use a source 4 with a spot lens 19° or similar better with the iris, then cut all around the walls, maybe if you can't afford the rent can use a 650 fresnel with a metal cone that cut the beam with some little flags for the wall. Or put a par 64 vnsp with a sheet of black foil and hole in the centre.... different solutions for different pockets. But it's a matter of distance of the walls and exposition.

  13. It's not my country we work in 220/240 and for long distances and big loads we start with 380v but.... the 18ks are something around 100amps depending like Guy ask from different variables like distances of cable, line loss and types of ballast and the 50softsun cuold be around 250amps. Thinking on 3 18k and a 50softsun i think you are on a big job with a budget and the 18ks are arrimax or daylight but with beautiful new elettronic ballasts so if i'm right with 1400amps genny you will be fine. Distribute the load between legs it's another matter, if the genny has a cam lock out go with that, starting with 240 for the soft sun. In italy we start from 380v so three legs of 220/240 each, so i need to know how your gennys work with 240 one leg or 3 legs? if it's only one put your distro behind the 50k, put stingers for 18ks that also works on 220/240 it's the same and then split another outlet with a box balancing the 110v loads.If you don't need all this only for paper 1400 could be enough. if you have 3 legs of 240v from the genny it's easier: 50k for one 18+18k for another and 18k and minor loads in the third (always balanced between 2 legs of 110v) i hope helps despite my english good luck Leonardo Brocato Gaffer Rome Italy
  14. Hi Matteo using diffused balls can be easier than butterfly in terms of time, in terms of taste it's personal, you will need to flag the balls a lot. If you are in florence i think you can try to use ALF ballons (i think you know it, a florence company that make different tipes of ballons) but the problem is that are very expensive also in therms of people managing it. With 2 plus 2 of crew (now in italy it's sad but normal) you need to be very smart, in particular try to have kinoflathead instead of wall o lite that is very heavy and sometimes very green, or maybe an m18 instead of 2.5 (more power less space and weight) the m18 on long distance for a far background it's incredible also don't forget to load some booms like manfrotto superboom (the black one) with the balls are great to go overhead booming from camera side, or some polecat to build a "bridge" with two stands out of the frame.i will take also an only 4x4 (mt) frame just in case of a bouncing or diffusing for a side fill light and maybe something open like an hmi open face (De sisti Goya) for strong backgrounds What type of generator you will have? very important. please don't blue the moon (i don't think you will do that but i hate this trick) :D :D Leonardo Brocato Gaffer Rome Italy e se volessi fare due chiacchere dal punto di vista tecnico materiale/benefici scrivimi pure una mail privata che in italiano mi spiego decisamente meglio e buona fortuna!!!
  15. Clean up the gel cart (in my case is actually a gel big wood box with wheels) it's for my guys the borest day of the set, when electrician sleep in the corner or near a c-stand, if in Studio near the dmx consolle solidflagged from production eyes, so if you want to do something and not sleep clean up the gel box. Rolled in pieces with dividers in the long side 1/8 1/4 1/2 Full (for CTO CTB CTS Whitediff PlusG MinusG) one for ND's rolled with different color tapes 3/6/9/12 one for different softers like lee opal or hampshire frost and 2 for colors mixed, in the short side part with pieces of black foil in sheets and in the other side a part full of a ton of clothespins in the central section a pair of medium flags. There is always a cart with rolls just in case or maybe in the truck. My guys sometimes can chill a little bit with gels but they are always running like crazyyyy Leonardo Brocato Gaffer Rome Italy
