Dedolight Parallel Beam

Shooting at more than 1,000 frames per second (shutter at 180 degres) is a headache for the light, especially when filming flying insects and other butterflies: it is impossible to use powerful HMI sources without burning the insects and no Led source is powerful enough. We have tested with Eli Lévé, at Next Shot rental company, Dedolight Lightstream projectors and this technique has solved the difficulties.

La prise de vues à plus de 1 000 images par seconde (shutter à 180 °) est un casse-tête pour la lumière, surtout lorsque l’on filme des insectes volants et autres papillons : impossible d’utiliser des sources HMI puissantes sans brûler les insectes, et aucune source LED n’est assez puissante. Nous avons testé avec Eli Lévé, chez Next Shot, les projecteurs Dedolight Lightstream et cette technique a permis de résoudre les difficultés.

Pour le tournage de la série de 6 x 52 minutes "Germinal", le directeur de la photo Xavier Dolléans a testé les "intensifieurs de faisceaux" Parallel Beam de Dedolight et les réflecteurs Lightstream chez Next Shot.

Less than a month before the beginning of the festivities, the Cannes Film Festival has announced the 66^th Official Selection through its President, Gilles Jacob, and Thierry Frémaux, Managing Director, at the usual press conference. Before the release of the announcement of the films chosen by the parallel sections, there are already 11 AFC member directors of photography who were responsible for the cinematography of 12 films in the selection.

Although the Cannes Film Festival’s Official Selection included not less than 12 films whose directors of photography are AFC members (11 exactly), the parallel sections, meaning the Directors’ Fortnight and the International Critics’ Week, have been, a s far as we can tell, less generous towards our members...

As is the case every year, the AFC will be present at the Cannes Film Festival first and foremost by the films that have been chosen for the Official Selection (In Competition and Un certain regard), the Directors’ Fortnight and the Critics’ Week, that were filmed by some of its member directors of photography. Ten “AFC” films will be screened this year in these selections. An eleventh film will also be added with a restored classic to be screened at Cannes Classics (see the detail of the “AFC” films in the Official Selection and in the Parallel Selections).
