Practising Studio Set-Up

Practising Studio Set-Up

 Prior to filming our band shots in the studio, we needed to plan and prepare it. We noticed during our research, that a primary focus was the lighting. To avoid our shots looking cheap or unprofessional we set up 4 VISIO DMX Dimmer Lights behind where the band would go.

Once we positioned and angled the lights, we realised we wanted to add a more ethereal, ambient effect. By doing this we got hold of a roll of Blue Tinted Plastic and taped it over the cameras. For full effect we double layered the plastic, ultimately adding a blue tint to the lights.

We also realised, that with this blue tint, we could change the colour the colour balance in post production and easily modify the hue, meaning we can have the lights to look any colour we want without majorly distorting the colours of the band/actors.
