For students interested in film, storytelling and fashion, VIA University College in Aarhus, Denmark is an international hub. VIA’s department of Film & Transmedia houses the professional bachelor program Multiplatform Storytelling and Production. Technical Coordinator Thomas Erland Pedersen was charged with creating a multi-purpose studio to cater for the diverse requirements of the students.
Despite initial skepticism, especially among colleagues involved in TV, the results spoke for themselves. The experiment was a resounding success! The arrangement would clearly be suitable for lighting a white space and creating a green screen environment. Furthermore, the fixtures’ x7 Color System allows for evocative color mixing, offering students endless possibilities for their projects.
In conclusion, the solution was a perfect fit for the department’s needs. Consequently, Thomas kitted out the new studio with 13 Source Four LED Series 2 Lustr fixtures with CYC adaptors. Finally, to complete the package, an Eos family console – an ETC Element 40 – was added. To achieve the desired effect for chroma keying, the basic setup is virtual color control adjusted to match Rosco Supergel #389 Chroma Green.
