Light Ranger 2

Howard Preston is the founder of the company that bears his name and that manufacturers the world’s most widely used professional focus and lens control systems. Another high-profile manufacturer for the cinema industry, Jacques Delacoux, CEO of Transvideo, took advantage of Howard Preston’s attendance at the 13th Micro Salon to have an animated discussion with him.

Howard Preston est le fondateur de la société éponyme, qui fabrique notamment les systèmes de contrôle de mise au point HF les plus utilisés au monde sur les plateaux de cinéma. Sa présence au 13^e Micro Salon a été l’occasion d’une discussion animée par un autre industriel vedette du secteur : Jacques Delacoux, PDG de Transvideo.

As authorized representative and technical "Preston cinema" support for European countries, we are pleased to present at the Micro Salon the production version of the Ranger Light 2.

Il y a 50 ans… Le 31 juillet 1964, Ranger 7 prenait les premières images à bout portant de la lune. Ces images étaient faites par une optique Angénieux 25 mm f:0,95 M1.

Dans l’actualité de Ruby Light, un nouveau boîtier de contrôle qui gère le DMX, un entretien avec le directeur de la photographie John Brawley, ACS, l’équipement de la glace maquillage Nestor, et la fabrication de masques de protection de catégorie 1, lavables 40 fois.

Des nouveautés chez Ruby Light : une version 2 du Boa, dotée, entre autres, de nouvelles LED, de nouveaux tissus, d’une nouvelle confection et d’un nouveau câble, et un Dimmer Pro DMX, disponibles, dès maintenant chez ACC&LED.

“I can’t get enough of this impression of blinding light and absolute blackness.” Darius Khondji, AFC, ASC, loves the dazzling effect of strong lights and, by contrast, the deep blacks where the light is engulfed and disappears completely.

Guillermo Grassi, de Ruby Light, a confié à K 5600 Lighting la commercialisation exclusive des Boa Flex 60, 120 et 240 cm ainsi que la déjà très attendue Raie Manta. Ce nouvel accord s’étend à la quasi-totalité des territoires.

Fisher Light propose à son catalogue ballons éclairants, projecteurs Xénon et diverses sources dont une nouvelle source de lumière annulaire : la LED Ringlite.

Cinematographer Claudio Miranda, ASC, who was recently contacted by Sony to try out its new Venice camera, was a member of the competition jury at Camerimage. He took advantage of the opportunity to teach a Master Class and to share his vision of light, in which the relationship to nature and to camera work seem to be highly important.

Three-time Oscar winner Vittorio Storaro, who has been working with Woody Allen since 2015, is currently shooting in Paris. Billed as a return to the thriller genre (in the same vein as Crimes and Misdemeanors and Match Point, the two black pearls in his long filmography), this film is expected to be the New York filmmaker’s final film. In this interview, Vittorio Storaro, AIC, ASC, reflects on his mythical career, his definition of the role of a "Author of cinematography" (and not Director of photography) as well as on The Muses of Light, his exclusive series of LED spotlights and softlights developed with De Sisti and which were given the names of Zeus’ nine daughters. The full range is distributed in France by Dimatec, and Stéphane Samama, with whom we met him. (FR)
