Toilet Break - Luc Rëso Janin
"I shot a comedy short during lunch break on the set of a recent commercial shoot. Inspired by a true story, I wrote the script the night before. Using the same set and crew from the commercial, only my producer, the 1st AD and the actor knew about this parallel shoot happening between takes.
The best part is knowing that this actually happened. I promised I’d never reveal my source but you know who you are!"
Enjoy this comedy short shot on #BlueStage at #DukesIslandStudio with #Panalux lighting.

Channel 4 Idents
#Gaffer Steve Finberg gives us some insights behind the creative process for the #channel4 idents filmed in part at #BlackIslandStudios, serviced by #Panalux London.
"Channel 4 Idents, cut down to just show the parts I worked on. Best to watch the full 3 1/2 minutes film to fully appreciate the cleverness of this film that involved dozens of directors and a handful of DPs.
Apart from the high speed shots (which were photographed by Dan Tobin Smith), the other cinematographer I worked with on this project was Eponine Momenceau who is a true artist. The job was challenging in having to prelight all 9 sets without having to move lights between sets, on a modest budget. Thankfully Éponine was keen to avoid LED where possible so we mostly used a lighting package more akin to what was used in the '90s: kino flo and tungsten. When we introduced colour for lighting, it had to be considered and have to order the gels required."
