Infinity Lighting: the illusion of natural light from a far distance
The dedolight PB70 is unique - not just in physical appearance, not just in terms of high output and low energy consumption: the PB70 enables the cinematographer to achieve a natural, organic quality of light while at the same time defeating what is called The Inverse Square Law.
In simple terms the inverse square law means “as distance increases from the lighting source intensity decreases.” When we double that distance from the light source the result is a quarter of the original light; however, when working with the PB70 this is not true.

Light into the ice, Lightstream in extreme environments
This fascinating mini-documentary filmed on location in Iceland, shows spectacular footage filmed deep inside ice caves, using the dedolight Lightstream system.
Before and after examples are provided to show the results which can be achieved by adding light to the scene. Many of the images would not have been able to film without the lighting, as the environment would have been too dark to capture. Using DLED3 with multiple reflectors the light would bounce and diffuse to highlight the ice structures.
Thanks to Louise Hickey and Stuart Pointon for providing this piece.

Journey into Lightstream, Cinematographer Ian Murray
Cinematographer, Ian Murray, demonstrates the dedolight DLH400D for traditional use as a small, powerful, versatile HMI light and also shows how this can be used as part of the dedolight Lightstream system.
Lightstream uses a Parallel Beam Intensifier to focus the light into reflectors which then direct the light precisely wherever the cinematographer chooses. The result is an organic and realistic quality which is difficult to achieve with conventional lighting equipment.
This demonstration shows how the DLH400D is used within the Lightstream system and the results which can achieved.

Eflect, for creating beautiful background patterns and textures
Eflect enables the cinematographer to create controllable background patterns by focussing a dedolight into an Eflect pattern and then reflecting the result onto a wall or any surface - the results are unique and pleasing to the eye.
In essence, Eflect is designed to be a background generator.
Rather than have a subject in a room with bare walls, for example, why not introduce texture, colour and patterns to the background. The results can easily be changed and manipulated.
Eflect can also be used to direct light onto subject and background at the same time. Using this method, interesting a...

The light in your eye
In the world of photography, it is well-known the impact the reflection in the eye can have on the image: some call it a catch-light or a sparkle in the eye. In filmmaking, we can greatly enhance the visual appeal by creating reflections in the eyes.
Reflections in the eyes can be the result of the lighting on the face, or, the eyes can be independently lit with lights used to create specific reflections. These reflections can be achieved in different shapes, with attention to the positioning of the reflection within the eyes. Reflections can also be created in different colours. The result a...

How its done, precision 12 light setup
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.

Daniel Norton: photography using Eflect
Photographer Daniel Norton shows how the dedolight Eflect system can be used to create unusual and intriguing patterns which can be projected onto both background and subject.
This is alternative way to use the Eflect system, which most often has been used as a background generator.
However you choose to use Eflect, this opens the door to tremendous creativity and something that will differentiate the lighting on the subject and/or background.

Angel Penchev, photographer: perfect precision which can only be achieved using dedolight
This film shows the perfect precision of dedolight.
Using a model car as a subject, the photographer sets above lighting this. This is no ordinary model car. This is a Bugatti made up of over a thousand pieces.
Angel Penchev: “This is the finest model Bugatti Royale Roadster Esders. It is a technical masterpiece which consists of 1382 single components. The objects itself is not easy to photograph at all - quite complicated shapes.”
Using dedolight Imager, we can see the extreme detail that can be achieved with precision lighting. Bicolour lights are used to control colour tem...

Making of a Photograph with the dedolight Panaura 7
Still photography is looked on as pure art - press a button, capture a moment, and this is then recorded forever....
The viewer looking at a photograph will never know the time and effort that went into the capture of a moment. There could be intricate setups, or detailed planning. Whatever-the-case the process to capture the image doesn't matter - it is simply the result that is of consequence.
However, for those of us with curious minds, the creative process is important. This film shows the time, effort, and planning that went into the creation of a single image, working with dedolig...
