Marco Sirignano, show Director of Photography broadcasted by
Italia 1, told us how the lighting design has been realized.
“For this new
production, I wanted to create a rich, colorful, yet refined set; in “Modern
Culture” I use DTS projectors mainly for effects and colors, but also to
support the conventional lights.
We installed the EVO and NRG 1201 moving heads on two semicircular trusses, to cast light streaks over
the stage and in backlight on the audience.
In this setup, there are some
features of the two fixtures that I found really useful: for example, the beam
projection of the EVO, the speed of its zoom, the variety of the gobos.
For the NRG 1201 the appreciation
goes definitely to the quality of its colors and also to the ability to select
the ideal color temperature for the camera shootings.”
“I know the DTS
projectors; they are widely used on television; they are versatile, with an
outstanding quality of light and a beautiful color mix.” – told Marco
Sirignano – “I have used them in the latest edition of “L’isola dei famosi”
(Celebrity Survivors)”.
The new season of the tele-quiz “Modern Culture”, has just
begun.
“Modern culture” is made at Studio 5 facilities in the Mediaset
production centre set in Cologno Monzese and it represent a great return for
the show conceived by Antonio Ricci and produced by Videotime, aired for the
first time with great success in 2007.
The
minimal and effective set design characterized by shelves filled of books, as
in a modern and bright library, draws a central area in which take place
performances, illuminated by DTS moving heads provided and installed by MMS, one of the most
important rental companies in Italy, partner and suppler of the major TV
networks.
