Q: What kind of studio lighting do you use at The Production Group?
A: We use Dracast LED soft lights to Key light some of our sets. They give a smooth even light with great color rendition. They are flexible to choose and correct color anywhere between 3200K – 6000K degrees. We also use conventional tungsten fresnels and ellipsoidals.
 
Q: Can you do a custom lighting design for sets? What if I want a special style or feel to our look?
A: Yes we can! We have over 35 years of Network TV lighting and staging experience. Many cinematic lighting tricks can change the feel and add drama to your custom “look”.
 
Q: Why does lighting make such a big difference in how things look?
A: The proper lighting can make your production look it’s best! Some people may only see your work for a split second and they must decide if it is worth watching.
