2007 NAB What's new on lighting
As
of the opening of NAB 2007 exhibit on April 16th, EFPlighting.com will be 3
months old. The objective of the tutorial web site is to give established
production professionals and newcomers alike the opportunity to improve their
careers by expanding their knowledge of lighting techniques. Apparently the site has
accomplished that and much more, in only 3 short months EFPlighting.com is close to receiving an unprecedented 2 millions hits. Positive reviews
have been written in 12 different languages and the site has been permanently
linked to over 250 production forums worldwide. During this short period I
also have received hundreds of e-mails and at the NAB show I had the privilege
of meeting many of the site’s viewers in person. These personal contacts made me realize that EFPlighting.com has become more than just a
tutorial site, thousand of viewers worldwide rely on the tutorials to steer them in the
right direction on lighting techniques and also on the right products to
purchase; this is a responsibility that EFPlighting's staff will take very seriously. We have
established a criteria in reporting new or existing products from the
NAB exhibit. All lighting products must benefit ENG (Electronic News Gathering)
or EFP (Electronic Field Productions). Products must of course provide the
quality of light to give us full control and assist our creative techniques. Products must be durable and
capable of withstanding the constant moving and transporting requirement. They
must be designed for fast and easy set-ups and compact storage. Products must
be represented by an established firm that can provide service and replacement
parts when needed.
Please keep in mind that many of the products illustrated have not been tested by EFPlighting.com. The review was based on my personal experience in using certain products and what I was able to see at the NAB
show. Many of the manufacturers have offered to send me their products for field
testing on actual production assignments which I will do in the near future and report my
findings. One thing that I did not take into consideration is the cost factor; prices constantly change and the true value of a piece of equipment can only be assessed by the individual making the purchase.
Thank
you for supporting EFPlighting.com
