Exploring Aputure’s New Infinibars – PB12, PB6, and PB3
In the rapidly evolving world of film production, lighting plays a pivotal role in crafting the visual narrative. The introduction of Aputure’s new Infinibar series – PB12, PB6, and PB3 – marks a significant advancement in lighting technology, offering filmmakers unprecedented flexibility and control. These innovative lighting solutions promise to redefine how scenes are lit, providing creative possibilities that can transform any production. This blog delves into the features, benefits, and practical applications of Aputure’s Infinibars, showcasing their potential to elevate your filmmaking endeavours.
Aputure has long been a trusted name in the film industry, known for producing high-quality lighting equipment. The Infinibar series continues this legacy, bringing a new level of versatility and precision to lighting design. The PB12, PB6, and PB3 are LED light bars designed to offer seamless integration and infinite color possibilities, catering to a wide range of lighting needs.
One of the standout features of the Infinibars is their modular design. This allows multiple bars to be connected, forming various shapes and configurations to suit different lighting requirements. Whether you need a long, continuous light source or a more complex arrangement, the Infinibars can be customized to fit your vision.
Advanced Color Control:
The Infinibars offer full RGBWW color mixing, providing an extensive palette of colors and precise white balance control. This capability ensures that you can achieve the exact mood and atmosphere you desire for each scene.
High CRI and TLCI Ratings:
With a CRI (Color Rendering Index) of 95+ and a TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index) of 98, the Infinibars guarantee accurate color reproduction. This is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your footage during post-production.
Battery Operated:
The Infinibars are equipped with internal batteries, making them highly portable and easy to use on location. This feature is especially beneficial for shoots in remote areas where power sources are limited.
The integration of Sidus Link and DMX control systems allows for wireless control of the Infinibars. This makes it easy to adjust settings remotely, enhancing efficiency on set.
The PB12 is the largest in the series, measuring 4 feet in length. It is ideal for lighting large areas or creating striking visual effects. The PB12’s length makes it perfect for simulating natural light sources, such as sunlight streaming through windows or creating dramatic shadows.
In feature films, lighting is essential for creating the right atmosphere and conveying emotions. The PB12 can be used to simulate sunlight, adding depth and realism to interior scenes. For instance, in a film set in a large mansion, the PB12 can be positioned outside a window to mimic the warm, golden rays of the morning sun, enhancing the scene’s overall aesthetic.
The PB6, measuring 2 feet, offers a balance between size and flexibility. It is versatile enough to be used in a variety of settings, from lighting small spaces to being part of a larger lighting setup.
Commercial shoots often require quick setups and adaptable lighting solutions. The PB6 can be easily positioned in tight spaces or mounted in various configurations to achieve the desired lighting effect. For example, in a car commercial, the PB6 can be used inside the vehicle to highlight the interior features while maintaining a natural look.
The PB3 is the smallest in the series, measuring just 1 foot. Its compact size makes it perfect for accent lighting or adding subtle highlights to a scene. The PB3 can be hidden in small spaces or used to light specific details.
In documentary filmmaking, capturing authentic and intimate moments is crucial. The PB3 can be used to highlight important details without being intrusive. For instance, during an interview, the PB3 can provide a soft, natural fill light that enhances the subject’s features without distracting from their story.
Aputure’s Infinibar series is more than just a set of lights; it is a versatile tool that empowers filmmakers to explore new creative possibilities. The ability to mix and match different lengths, control colors precisely, and set up quickly makes these lights indispensable on set.
In television production, quick and efficient lighting setups are often required due to tight schedules. The Infinibars’ modular design allows for rapid changes in lighting configuration, making them ideal for television sets where scenes change frequently. Their high CRI and TLCI ratings ensure that the colors captured on camera are true to life, which is essential for maintaining consistency across episodes.
Music videos often require dynamic and visually striking lighting to complement the performance. The Infinibars’ advanced color control and ability to create complex lighting setups make them perfect for this genre. The wireless control feature allows for real-time adjustments during the shoot, enabling directors to experiment with different looks and effects.
As the film industry continues to evolve, the demand for innovative lighting solutions grows.
