Litepanels illuminates for Linstrom: Filmmaker David Linstrom recently returned from Madagascar, where he shot visuals of silk weaving for a documentary commissioned by the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market. Key to capturing these works of art were his Litepanels 1x1 panels and Sola 4 Fresnel fixtures. “I chose them because I knew there was no AC power and I needed battery-powered lights to supplement the daylight we had,” explained Linstrom. “Litepanels are great because they use little power for the amount of throw they produce, have true colour, are dimmable and hold their colour. And, they are very durable, so they travel well.”

Navarro on Angénieux: Cinematographer Guillermo Navarro used personal Angénieux Optimo zoom lenses on upcoming film Pacific Rim. “The Optimos are my first choice because they are such a loyal translator of my vision,” he said. “Pacific Rimis my first digital movie and — since the weight of the camera is so light — I can use the 15-40 zoom on the steadicam,” he said. “The door has been opened for me to use the close focusing 15-40 as well as the 28-76 as handheld or steadicam lenses.”
