Studio & Commercial Lighting Setups

Lightstar Airlite tubes and balloons are an excellent solution for creating soft, ambient top light in a studio. This setup for a TVC mimics the quality of bounced light, evenly illuminating the entire set for a clean, commercial look.

The Lightstar Airlite 1000 tube is a versatile tool for creating soft, ambient top light. By simply adding a diffusion skirt, we can quickly create a large, soft source that is perfect for lighting sets in a studio.

This TVC required an ultra soft lighting setup across a massive area. To meet the budget and inventory needs, we used a carefully blended assortment of Creamsource SpaceX and Vortex8 units, Arri Skypanels, and Nanlux Dyno 1200c fixtures.

For this TVC, we rigged four Litegear Litetile Plus 8 units to create an ambient top light. The modular nature of these fixtures allows us to build larger blanket lights, and we control them via DMX to precisely tune the color temperature.

An Aladdin Fabric 350 with a soft grid is used here to provide controlled lighting for a TVC shoot. The greenscreen visible outside the window indicates a visual effects shot, requiring precise separation between the foreground and background lighting.

A Creamsource SpaceX is being used here as a key light for a greenscreen shoot. The same type of fixture was also used to create the ambient skylight and evenly illuminate the chroma background, ensuring a clean key for post production.

This large diffusion fabric, known as a butterfly, is stretched out to soften the light from multiple Creamsource SpaceX units. This technique is used to create a massive, ultra soft source for ambient skylight in a studio.

The classic tungsten gemball, or lantern light, is still a valuable tool for creating soft, omnidirectional light. Here, a crew member positions one for a TVC shoot, demonstrating that we use both new and conventional tools to get the job done.

An Arri M40 HMI fixture, a powerful daylight source, is bounced off a large muslin cloth. This technique, known as a book light, creates an extremely soft and flattering quality of light, perfect for commercial and beauty work.
