DoPchoice SNAPBAG Octa assisting @thelightbridge with Lighting a room

"On this commercial shoot we had three similar sets with different interior.
We wanted to keep it simple with similar lighting set-up in all of our rooms.
The only thing that we actually really change was the different Diffs of the Cine Reflectors.
For the Amber room:
Outside the window we used the C-100 diff 3 with Arri 4k to light up the background and 50 diff 3 reflectors with Arri 1.8k for different props situations and shades in the room
20x20 cloth 2x space light for the ambient.
Skypanels120 through a 8x8 light cloth and Egg crate for the talents key light.
Skypanel octa 5 DoPChoice for the talents fill .
Also some panels for the backlight.
Dining room:
similar setup just changed the C-100 reflector to diff 2, to get more punch on the black wall.
For the ambient we used 20x20 cloth that we lit with two space lights, just a hint of touch for the contrast.
Skypanels 8x8 key light and sky 60 with octa for the fill.
2x led Panels for back light.

Living room with fireplace we worked with our first setup with C-100 diff 3 for the wall and fireplace and some 50 reflectors also with diff 3 for the couches in the first frame.
20x20 cloth with 2 space lights for the ambient.
the same setup for the key, fill and backlight.

🍿🎥WEEKEND WATCH LIST🍿🎥⁠⁠
⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“The Lost Pirate Kingdom” currently streaming on Netflix, is not on open sets as it appears on the screen but in a purpose-built virtual studio. Using dynamic animation and 4K back projection they re-created the pirate republic of Nassau as it was in 1715. ⁠⁠

➡️Swipe for BTS
⁠⁠
DoP @ robinfox_dop explains how they set up the studio:⁠⁠
⁠⁠
"The 30’ Stage revolve allowed us to orientate the ship set to our 60’ rear projection screen. The projected image was created using 3 x 20,000 lumen DLP projectors. Interactive lighted generated by @arri 8 x S120s and 4 x S60s SkyPanel’s rigged above the boat stage all controlled using Skylink base station and Stellar App. We positioned 20x20 @dopchoice Butterfly Grids overhead and an 8x8 on the floor to minimise light spill on screen.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The Stellar App became our wireless lighting desk and it allowed us to easily recall lighting scenarios from sunsets to thunderstorms. It boosted our creative options and saved the production a huge amount of time. We wouldn’t have completed the schedule without it. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We shot it on a combination of ARRI Amira and Alexa Mini cameras. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Shooting on a virtual set was truly a voyage of discovery and the best part of it was the full control of the stage lighting and blending it with the projected plates to get desired results in camera there and then. Netflix trailer in bio.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Big shout out to the incredible camera & lighting teams led by @abbottcam & @collins211191 and special mention to projectionist @buttonlight who all battled against all the odds to get it made. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Thanks to these fine directors @stangriffin13, @herewardpelling, @thisispatrickd, #justinrickett⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Excellent kit supplied by @electra_tv & @liteworx.tv⁠⁠

Great to use to soften a keylight for interview shots and with the SNAPGRID you can also limit the spill of light.⁠⁠

⁠⁠
"Wooded areas always cast the most peculiar light. There’s a heavy mix of indirect and direct light as the sun passes through the trees. Because of how inconsistent that type of light can be, we filled the shadow side of the talent with a Gemini 1x1 Soft and 3’ @dopchoice Octa. This pushed soft light back opposite the sun side, creating a pleasing mixed directional light." @GarrettSammons, Filmmaker ⁠⁠
