IBC2024 was quite a show! Whether you were there in the mix or you’re just catching up now, it’s clear from the conversations at our booth that daylight control is still a big deal in our industry.
I bet you’re dealing with some of the same lighting challenges we talked about at the show. Let’s dive into the questions that kept coming up – both at IBC and from studios all over. I have a feeling these might ring a bell for you too.
“How do I balance indoor and outdoor lighting for the perfect shot?”
This is a tough one, especially if you’ve got a stunning cityscape behind your news desk or you’re trying to capture the buzz of a stadium. Getting that balance right is key for a pro look.
Take CNBC’s San Francisco studio, for example. They wanted to make the most of their Bay Bridge view. We set them up with a mix of ND .3, ND .6, and ND 1.2 gels. Now their lighting team can adjust on the fly, no matter what the weather’s doing outside.
“Can I control my blinds from my lighting board?”
You sure can! Imagine having all that control right at your fingertips. That’s exactly what we’re talking about here. We make your lighting setup a seamless part of your whole production. So when conditions change, you’re ready to adapt in no time.
“How do I handle glare during different times of the day?”
This is where customization really comes into play. Let me tell you about what we did for Sirius XM Pandora’s new Miami studio. We created a setup that not only controls light but also doubles as a sleek, branded backdrop when they need it. It’s a great way to solve two problems at once.
“What about mobile setups? Can you handle those too?”
Absolutely! Whether you’re in a fixed studio or you’re always on the move, we’ve got you covered. Our solutions can adapt to pretty much any setting. So no matter where you’re broadcasting from, you’ve always got control over your lighting.
