Element Labs lights ESPN NASCAR shoot
Element Labs fixtures were used recently to light a fast-paced, two-day shoot of 39 NASCAR drivers for ESPN's NASCAR coverage.
NASCAR video shoot Four Kelvin Technology Series fixtures positioned around the set and 10 Versa Banks suspended from the ceiling provided the lighting, while 192 Stealth panels were used for the video backdrop.
Director Jeff August of Jump Studios said STEALTH gave me all that I was envisioning for this shoot. It offered me and my design team endless graphic possibilities that in the end would be more dynamic and real than another green screen composite.
"Creatively the Kelvin series products and the STEALTH screens were liberating: the ability to instantly dial in the color temperature you want for a specific shot or to quickly adjust the aspect ratio of your video playback is absolutely amazing. It de?nitely unlocks your creative Thinking and opens you up to in?nite possibilities. This was really a great ?rst experience. We cant wait for the next one."
