Studio Lighting

After working with the lighting equipment we'd be using when were shooting on location, we started to look at the studio lighting and how we can use it if we have any productions or scenes where we'd be filming in the studio. The studio lights are hung above the studio on these rails that are attached to the roof, there all in place but can be moved if needed. When moving a studio light to a different location you need at least two people performing the procedure, one person will be going up a ladder to remove the light they need and the second will be manning the ladder and making sure it is safe for the first person. After you've unplugged and taken down the light you want you will be putting it up in the position you want, this may require you to take down another light if one is in your way. When your lights are in place there is a stick like device that is used to operate the lights if you want it facing the opposite direction or rotating at all. Moving and using the studio lights can be a challenge but it makes it easier if you know what you're doing, it is important to make sure the light is properly attached to the rails and is plugged in with the wire wrapped around a second rail as well for safety. Because locations can be tricky to find many productions or scenes may take place in the studio so it's important to know how to operate all the equipment safely and professionally. It's also a good idea that if you want to use the studio lighting, it may be best to set it up a day or two before your shoot to save time on the actual day.
