CINEMATOGRAPHY

 Carlo van de Roer (Satellite Lab) talks about the lighting set-up for THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER

Satellite Lab’s PlateLight is a system for simultaneously filming separate lighting set-ups on-set, to be combined in post for control over live action lighting. Carlo van de Roer’s talk allows the FMX audience to discover how this film-making approach was used in the making of THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER for the ‘Moon of Shame’ and ‘Final Battle’ sequences, providing control of the position and movement of the sun and interactive lighting. Satellite Lab will present an inside look at their work developing in-camera based looks and filmmaking approaches.
