Valentina and the Aputure team visit EVS Studios in Los Angeles to figure out two things - how many Novas it takes to light a 25’ white cyc, and how to light it to be as versatile as possible. We want EVS to walk away with a lighting setup that any production company that is looking to shoot an interview, product, lifestyle, fashion, or even music video can accomplish with just a few lighting adjustments. To prove that we can do both in the same lighting setup, the two concepts that we wanted to shoot were a high-key branded interview (think Verizon commercials) and a two-tone color music video.

    Nice video and the Novas are great but I hoped that the setup would be a bit... well, more. I would really like to see how the novas compare to skypanels (and 300d, 600d to L series for that matter) in the classic tv studio setup... talk show, news... something like that.

    @@ChrisGeden Maybe I’m missing something obvious, but I can’t fathom why tailslating (if that’s what you’re implying) would have any bearing on whether audio ends up clipped or not. The gain of the radio mics has very likely been set for normal speech levels, therefore raised voices like those of cheering will easily drive the transmitter into distortion with the result being clipped audio on the recording.

    What’s the purpose of whatever those modifier boards are that are mounted on the two c-stands visible at 11:33? Also, is that another small light fixture mounted on the gobo arm of c-stand at 9:44? Although the animated lighting plan for the second setup seemed to indicate the presence of one of the two boards of some sort, none of these elements were mentioned in the video, so I’m curious to know what these did.
