点燃宝莱坞大片

屡获殊荣的电影摄影师Sudeep Chatterjee ISC因其在电影照明方面的专业知识而广受认可。 他拥有超过三十年的职业生涯，他对光线的掌握将电影提升到新的艺术高度，创造了情绪、氛围和情感深度。 与著名导演合作，他对细节的敏锐眼光，技术技巧和利用光的变革力量的能力塑造了许多标志性电影的视觉语言，并使他成为印地语和孟加拉语电影界备受追捧的专业人士。

他曾两次获得国家电影奖最佳摄影奖，一次是“Chotushkone”，然后是“Bajirao Mastan”。 最近，他获得了国际印度电影学院的最佳摄影奖和Filmfare奖，以表彰他在“Gangubai Kathiawadi”中的工作，他使用多个Litepanel双 子座 面板点亮了该电影。

这部印地语传记犯罪电影是根据 1960 年代孟买犯罪黑社会发生的真实事件改编的。 它引人入胜的叙事讲述了甘古拜·科特瓦利（Gangubai Kothewali）的生活，她是卡马蒂普拉红灯区的一位有权势的人物，她坚持不懈，克服一切困难茁壮成长。

这部史诗般的作品与富有远见的导演桑杰·里拉·班萨利（Sanjay Leela Bhansali）合作，将故事变为现实，于2019年开始，但由于Covid的工作限制，一直持续到2021年。 巨大的布景包括红灯区的重建。

The Transformative Power of Light

“We created Kamathipura on a set and covered part of it, so I had complete control of the light. Natural light did not limit us. We could make it look like daylight and shoot into the night.” Says Sudeep. “The initial plan was to complete the main parts, take off the cover and film wide shots, in real daylight. The film was to be completed by June because we did not build the set to last the monsoon. Eventually, we shot the entire film with artificial light made to look like daylight.”

The covered set avoided any problems that can arise when using natural light. Sanjay is a big fan of scenes with huge groups of people. “It takes a long time to choreograph that correctly,” says Sudeep. “On past projects with him, it was challenging to finish scenes in a certain light. For example, if the scene took place at twilight or any time during the day and the Sun Keeps shifting, it’s difficult to keep the light consistent.

Amazing Accuracy

Sudeep used 40 Gemini 2×1 Soft panels on “Gangubai Kathiawadi”. With highly accurate colour temperature control across the full spectrum of white light from a warm 2700K to a cool 10000K, any time of day can be replicated in an instant.

“In the past, for twilight scenes, we used HMIs for our bounce and we had to add blue gels to all the lights to adjust for the time of day correctly.” Says Sudeep. “And that would be a three hour lighting job. Now with the Geminis, I can say I want to move from daylight to twilight and change the whole look in minutes. People on set are amazed.”

The filmmakers premiered “Gangubai Kathiawadi” at the 72nd Berlin International Film Festival and released it in cinemas in February 2022. The film grossed over $26 million worldwide.

新的合作

继《甘古拜·卡塔瓦迪》大获成功后，苏迪普和桑杰再次联手制作了一部雄心勃勃且奢华的 Netflix 原创剧集，以独立前的印度为背景，以一群强大的及其赞助人为中心。 爱情、背叛、继承和政治的混合体。 这部八集的剧集将制作365天。

大人物

大布景意味着大光，因此 Sudeep 在他的 40 个双子座 2×1 软面板上添加了 60 个强大的 Litepanel Gemini 2×1 硬面板。 凭借三倍的输出，提供高达23,000勒克斯的Ludeep，Sudeep可以使用Gemini Hard面板来取代许多其他类型的照明。

“在Gangubai上，我使用了Gemini 2×1 Softs和Skypanel，为了创造一些天空氛围，我不得不使用4k HMI。现在我只使用双子座，主要是 2×1 硬夹具”。

尽管功率强劲，但 Gemini 2×1 Hard 比任何重量仅为 25.3 磅（11.5 千克）的同类灯具都轻，无需单独的镇流器。 “这是另一个巨大的优势，”Sudeep说。 “我可以把双子座放在吊杆上，因为它们太轻了。我不能用其他面板做到这一点，它们太重了，需要额外的支撑。拥有轻质面板使索具变得更加容易。

For the opulent period drama, lighting flexibility proved invaluable. “There are many interesting and complex looks in the series,” says Sudeep. “In the street scenes, there are between 500 and 600 artists performing. Some scenes are mysterious, some dramatic, and some dark with a few candlelight settings. There are extremely lavish performances and gorgeous street scenes with over 500 artists performing – so amazing. It’s a lot of lighting. It takes time to get the shots you want.”

Sudeep takes full advantage of the light shaping and control accessories available for the Gemini fixtures. “Sometimes, if the fixture is placed far away, I use it raw with no diffuser,” he says. “I use a grid to control the beam or sometimes I use the domed or ultralight diffuser. So, depending on the scene, I use Geminis in every way possible.”

With over 100 lights rigged on the expansive set, the ability to control and change moods without delaying the production was a key consideration. With integrated DMX and CRMX, colour control and dimming can be operated remotely.

“当我使用 HMI 时，反射的光线对于场景来说有点太亮了，我不得不派人几分钟并减少它。添加一些额外的反弹或其他什么。人们不想那样工作。现在，例如，如果钻机中的双子座数字40太热或有点亮，我们可以立即通过DMX进行更改。

令人敬畏的美学

Sanjay因其对生产设计和美学的热爱而在业内享有盛誉。 他使用印度纺织品、艺术品和设计，展示了印度艺术的皇室，并在屏幕上营造出辉煌的氛围。

“我们有很多华丽的服装，设计复杂，有各种纹理和颜色，”Sudeep说。 “Sanjay非常注重正确配色，因为他花了很多时间与服装设计师一起制作华丽、昂贵的服装。 如果渲染不准确，他会立即注意到，绿色不是他的绿色。 因此，当我第一次使用Gemini 2×1硬灯时，当我打电话给他进行DI以查看一些日光室内场景时，我感到非常兴奋。

“The combination of ARRI Alexa 35 with the signature primes and Geminis is a magnificent combination for accurate color and skin tones.”
