Bro a d c a s te r s S h o w D a i l y W e d n e s d a y, A p ri l 9 , 2 0 1 4 4 THE AWARDS GO TO…ROTOLIGHT: LIGHTING GEAR OF THE YEAR! By Alex H-French The Rotolight ANOVA Ecoflood LED Flood light series has collected over 15 prestigious industry awards, voted for by leading industry members and mag- azines for photography and cinematog- raphy, including Popular Photography Magazine's "Best lighting product of 2013" and the Cinec Grand Jury Special award for "Technical Achievement and Innovation." Rotolight, based at Pinewood Studios, U.K., is one of the leading manufacturers of multi award winning on-camera, studio and location LED lighting systems for photography, videography, broadcast and cinematog- raphy. Rotolight's products have been used on major features including James Bond "Skyfall," "Captain Phillips" (Dir. Paul Greengrass, DoP. Barry Ackroyd), and are continuously used by leading photographers, DoPs and cine- matographers worldwide. Rodney Charters ASC (Dallas, 24) recently called the next generation of award winning Rotolight ANOVA V2 EcoFlood LED floodlights "quite superb and up to spec." The latest ranges includes six new ANOVA mod- els featuring "best in class" color ren- dering (CRI=95 / Skintone= 98), with Totally Flicker Free output and DMX or WiFi control via the Rotolight "Magic Eye HD" ™ App for iPhone or iPad. Rotolight's range of revolution- ary LED lighting products also includes the multi award winning RL48 Ringlight – a highly portable 100w equivalent ring light featuring 140- degree beam angle that creates a natu- rally soft shadow-less lighting effect and sought after circular catch light. Harry Wiggins, Chief Lighting Gaffer on Captain Phillips, said, "The RL48 Ringlight – perfectly sized and with a built-in gel kit, it was my get-out- of jail card and always right there on my belt. It was neat, punchy and saved time by the bucket load." For more information, stop by booth #C12029, visit www.rotolight.com, fol- low @Rotolight on Twitter or like Rotolightuk on Facebook. CRU HAS YOU COVERED In the years since digital became the preferred medium for content creation, photographers, videographers, film- makers and creatives of all types have enjoyed its benefits.
