ABSTRACT

The studio is a completely controllable environment. A powerful tool most studios provide is the facility to smoothly change the brightness of light, and the number of lanterns in use. This opens a wealth of possibilities for the lighting designer from the subtle, almost imperceptible, fine tuning of a lantern lighting a presenter's face turning to interview another guest, to the full scale excitement of a cabaret performance with flashing floor lights, multi-coloured backgrounds, follow spots and special smoke effects. All can be done through the lighting control system.
