Update time - always working hard at staying ahead of the curve and innovating within. The hustle never
ends, as they say. Here’s some kit highlights as of late:
Product Lighting Kit: Liteflow Reflectors, reflector books, spotlights, micro-diffs - we’re packing a super
flexible and refined product lighting kit all the time.
iPad CRMX - paint by light for DPs, almost every fixture in the van is linked to Sidus Link CRMX DMX for
immediate CCT, RGB, HSI and Effects control with custom cues on the fly. Simple enough for DPs to grab
and modify at their will.
LitDuo Colour Meter/Flicker Meter - Dial in the exact CT to match and craft motivated location lighting. It’s
been especially useful dialing in +-Green with big window tints.
Custom 4x8’ in-shot softbox built for a TV Show. No existing solutions were available for a neat looking yet lightweight large box that was easily rigable without a scissor lift (access meant ladders only). Of-course with today’s budgets it needed to be affordable too. Featured 2x @aputure.lighting F22Cs and Titan Tubes for even fill. Skinned with some simple 250 1/2 diffusion and lots of gaff tape.
Studio shots from the last while.

Let’s talk about bulbs - we have them! New to the van are the Astera LunaBulbs (B22 8-Light Kit). which adds to an already incredibly flexible package. The Aputure B7Cs (E26/27 8-Light Kit) fills the gap, and we even have normal bulbs and dimmers!

That’s a good looking truck. “It’s just a giant pack shock”

A conference room somewhere in the CBD. Every space is "too small" once you've got a crew there.

2x STORM 400Xs now stocked in the van (with CF7 Fresnel). Teenage version of the 1200X, fitting perfectly between the BLAIR lineup.
