Litepanels for New US Drama Series
posted:
“I’ve been using Litepanels for about four years now,” says Caso. “They are small, compact, and have a lot of punch. They fit into places that other lights of equivalent luminance can’t fit. I have two 1x1 panels and two MiniPlus bricks on ‘The Defenders’, and they are working all the time.”
Space-saving Solution
‘The Defenders’ is not your staid, courtroom-bound legal series. The characters are bigger than life – and that includes the city of Las Vegas and the casinos that are such a big fabric of the town. Caso and company may be shooting flamboyant locations with a lot of flash, but he is always in need of that extra kick or flattering light. “That’s where Litepanels are so important,” he says. “I can get a soft source out of small corners or inside a car. Litepanels are always my saving grace. I remember when we were shooting ‘Trauma’ and we were often in a green screen process helicopter sequences,” he recalls. “Litepanels fit easily in those hard-to-fit areas in the helicopter to provide small source lighting. It worked quite well.”
