In the world of reflected light the dedolight Lightstream system is the most complete and the most versatile and it offers the greatest variety for the creative mind. Today we talk about one expansion and one addition to the Eflect - the word means effect and reflective light combined; it allows to create an incredible variety of effects. Eflect - it can be the most gentle accent like a floating feather in the background, like a butterfly that takes a rest for a little while, and it can go even to an explosion of effects on the background or sometimes, if you want, on the talent Today dedo...

Live presentation by Rodney Charter showing and explaining the process of VR production using large screens as backdrops to film against. There is nothing new about this process, however, what exists today is more refined and sophisticated than previous eras of film production. With control over all aspects of the filmmaking process filming in controllable VR studios is now a serious tool for filmmakers. Rodney Charters provides a rare insight into Hollywood production and how VR is being used to create convincing results indistinguishable to content filmed on location. Biography and care...

This is designed to improve the lighting in any office or room where one or more people gather for online meetings. The light can be mounted in a tiled ceiling with a standard size of 60x60cm (2 feet x 2 feet.) The fixture of the light will therefore be hidden, flush in the ceiling, and can be mounted on a permanent basis. Alternatively, for non-tiled ceilings, the light can be suspended just below the ceiling. This is far less less disturbing than having regular film lights and crew in place.This ceiling light is asymmetric, which means the light has a further reach towards the far end and ...

Here we see a model car and how the mood and atmosphere can be changed by controlling the lighting. This requires an intricate lighting setup involving many Dedo focussing lights with imagers, DPEye filters and elements of Lightstream and Eflect.

This demonstration, with a model car as a subject, shows the changes to mood and atmosphere that can be achieved by controlling the lighting, with details and explanation of how the results have been achieved. Focussing dedolights with imagers and DPEye filters are used in combination with Lightstream and Eflect. These elements, programmed with DMX control, come together to create the overall lighting effect. Raffael Pollak, Museum & Studio Lighting Designer at dedolight explains how this lighting setup works.

Jason & Jono: working with dedolight Lightstream LITE Jason and Jono www.reflectric.net show how dedolight Lightstream LITE can be used in many different situations to achieve results that are compelling, organic, and benefit from the many advantages which reflected light brings. We see how dedolight Lightstream LITE can be used as a standalone system - or in combination with other equipment in the dedolight Lightstream system.

Watch 13 part series at: https://tinyurl.com/3u8vpb7h When our children walk the streets on Fridays and talk about ecology and climate change, we often think about electric power, miraculously generated by surface-mined brown coal, making the use of electrified automotive vehicles a little bit doubtful. We think about the benefits and dangers of atomic power, we think about the CO2 emission. Often, we are not aware that the media industry is a very important contributor to climate damage, and therefore Green Tech application in media is often neglected. In older days, when we were lighting...

For smaller teams any of the focusing dedolights with or without the parallel beam intensifiers can serve well. In television studios we have employed a 220 W DLED30 light with parallel beam intensifier, lighting simultaneously four reflectors for the frontal and key lighting. As back light and effect light we have used a 90 W DLED9 bicolor light, again with parallel beam attachment, lighting up five reflectors in a row. Further LED lights were ...

Lightstream is a powerful reflecting system by dedolight that starts with a focussing light and a parallel beam intensifier. The light is focussed into a reflector and then redirected to wherever the cinematographer chooses. Different reflectors with varying amounts of reflective quality are used to direct the light. The reflectors have difference characteristics according to which numbered reflector you use. There are a total of 4 different reflectors shown in the demo, however, recently, dedolight have introduced a 5th reflector for the Lightstream system. The key to Lightstream is the pa...

Step on set and check out the production of a music video, featuring a team of dancers and filmed on location using portable LED lights. Many of the scenes have been lit in situations where, traditionally, it would have been difficult or impossible to use lights. LED lighting has caused a revolution from traditional hot lights. For the filmmaker who needs to be able to move quick, shoot and light anywhere, and travel without a truck-load of equipment, the LED lights of today offer versatility and potential which has not been available before. This music video was filmed in several locations,...

Today we will talk about the concept of the Portable Studio in LED lighting. In this video we show an LED dedolight kit with 4 lights, consisting of 2 multi-LED panel lights and 2 focusing dedolights. There lights are available in bi-colour, allowing the colour temperature for each light to be adjusted from 2700 degrees Kelvin to above 6000 degrees Kelvin. Therefore the colour temperature can be set without the need for filters or gels. The dedo focussing lights, in combination with imager projector and shutter projector, provide the ultimate in background projection with the ability to per...

Portable Studio This is about the concept of what we call the Portable Studio. Dedo Weigert: "When I started in this business a documentary film team had many people. Today the same work often is done by 2 people, one behind the camera and one in front of the camera, and that makes for a real lack of hands, often compounded by lack of time and lack of money." "How can you do serious lighting?" "So we came up with lighting kits that are smaller, lighter, more versatile and still complex enough to allow for creative lighting." "Here we show a basic set-up...

This video shows the robust nature of dedolight - how these lights will survive being dropped, knocked about, and subjected to the rigours of travel with baggage handlers and sometimes operators for are less than professional in their approach... Dedo Weigert: "dedolights are ideal for video teams who sometimes have to work under streetfighter conditions, under severe constrains of time, space, resources and occasionally having equipment exposed to personnel with a lot of good will, but a lesser degree of experience." "Actually thousands of small video teams already work with ...
