Abstract
The gap between film and television lighting methods is closing rapidly. Before attempting to adopt modern lightweight television equipment in film studios, the whole overhead grid structure and lighting operating methods needed to be radically changed. Also, from a financial viewpoint, film companies were understandably against scrapping tremendous amounts of very serviceable lighting equipment and spending vast sums on what was to them untried equipment and new methods. The main problem to tackle in the early stages was that of adapting a TV style grid that would accept the quick transfer and positioning of overhead telescopic lighting units and would also be strong enough to hang normal lighting cradles until such times as they could be dispensed with altogether. Four modern dual-purpose stages of 10,000 ft2 each have been built with TV grids installed. All the present pole-operated, incandescent equipment will, in the near future, be changed over to remote control, not only for the main functions of panning, tilting and focusing but also for the individual movement of each barndoor flap and its rotation, using only one motor to operate all eight movements.
