Cine Reflect Lighting System (CRLS)
The CINE REFLECT LIGHTING SYSTEM Berger/Bartenbach
PANIBEAM and PANIFLECTOR
The development of more and more sensitive emulsions and/or chips requires a redefinition of the film lighting. Illumination is more and more designing instead of a necessity. Being aware that not only technologies but also methods of directing and acting evolve, the development of new tools becomes a challenge.
The CINE REFLECT LIGHTING SYSTEM "CRLS"
represents an ideal system on sets in combination with available light
and a perfect complement to the conventional studio lighting.
In order to modulate – the alteration of physical characteristics
like quality, quantity, shape and direction – the light that is
projected onto a scene, contemporary cinematographers place several items
between the light sources and the actors as well as decors.
In doing this with gels, foils, flags, cutters, cinematographers reduce
inevitably the efficiency of lighting. Because of this facts, it is usually
necessary to use large luminaries with unpleasant space restriction, glare
and heat on the set, and obviously higher power consumption. Furthermore,
a large array of stands and grip material obstructs the space needed by
the director, the actors and the cinematographer to visualise the script.
The idea behind the CRLS is to avoid diminishing the light by “obstacles”
and to replace these tools by special reflectors. These reflectors can
influence dramatically the shape and structure of light that reaches the
scene. To obtain the best possible efficiency and a really new quality
of light , it is paramount to place the special reflectors into parallel
light beams.
Therefore, the CRLS is composed by a special luminarie,
the PANIBEAM 1200 W HMI parallelbeamer and an assortment of specially
calculated laminations, the PANIFLECTORS.
With the Beamer and laminations calculated by the Bartenbach Laboratory
of Light, cinematographers can create any desired effect. These small
laminations are precisely measured reflection medias, which, through fine
structuring and high-tech coatings, define the light distribution as well
as the light modulation.
That qualities allow you to create a light characteristic
not only from hard to soft but even from round to elliptic from fill to
hard effects, everything you need with a very high efficiency from 80
to 90 % reflection value.
So all in all you find with the CRLS a slim, lightweight and power saving
lighting system which gives you a new freedom on the set and will change
the working methods positively not only for the DOP, but also for actors
and directors.
Let's play billiard with the light by multiple reflections, just like the sun !
