Director, Eryc Tramonn Lights Music Video "Don't Fire" With CINEMILLS LEDZ

Frame grab from music video "Don't Fire" - Eryc Tramonn

Director, Eryc Tramonn shares with us how he used CINEMILLS LEDZ on his latest music video shoot.

"I wanted to share the outcome of my lighting test utilizing the Cinemill's instruments. You guys made it possible with such awesome instruments, and I really appreciate having had the opportunity to work with them. The entire video was lit exclusively with your Brute 9 and Brute 16 units, and I am very pleased with the outcome. The stage was lit solely by LEDZ. And I was THOROUGHLY impressed by their performance. Also, we didn't diffuse the lights, as you can see near the end of the vid in one of the slider shots -- it produces an interesting flare pattern.

This is the result of an impromptu shoot and there were only two of us filming that evening. When viewed through that lens, we were actually able to accomplish quite a bit in the span of four hours. All was captured on a single 5D Mk II, and with Canon glass. Hope you feel it is a good measure of the light's capabilities. (I didn't know we were shooting until the day we did it), and I spent roughly $70 putting it together ($50 for balloons, and $20 for wardrobe).

I am still young in my career, but as an indie filmmaker concerned with sustainability and costs overall -- I would love to have a long relationship ahead with your company and the pioneering efforts you are making to further this very viable technology." - Eryc Tramonn

CINEMILLS At NAB Show 2013 - Day 2

CINEMILLS at NAB Show Day 2 - On the first day of the event, it was raining, with strong and cold winds blowing. On the second day, the weather was a lot nicer to Las Vegas; as the winds had slowed down, and rain has passed.

Many of the show goers finally had the chance to see the exterior booths. And CINEMILLS welcomed our guest in our red carpet entrance.

Ruben Diaz, gaffer, and Cole DePerna are at CINEMILLS Sprinter Van answering questions and demonstrating the van from the inside and out. There was a lot of interested prospects looking to expand their services through the CINEMILLS Sprinter Van Agency.

Honnie K. (picture below, in the center of group picture) is very much interested in expanding her services with the CINEMILLS Sprinter Van. We're looking forward to working with her, and see how best we can meet her needs.

We visited our good friends at the Chimera booth in NAB Show, and look what we came across with, the LEDZ SUPERSPOT. The Chimera team was placing a new diffuser on our lighting.

CINEMILLS At NAB Show 2013 - Day 1

Update: We recently wrapped up the first day at NAB Show 2013, and it was a great turnout. Many of the show goers, that stopped by our booth, where interested in the new designs that CINEMILLS came out with. One in particular, that gained plenty of attention is the "BIG" 15 x 9 LED lighting fixture.

As an individual light, the Brute 15 already outputs a strong light, and grouped together, it's a must see! (See picture below)

This is the first time this fixture has been seen in public, and NAB was a perfect place to launch it. Even in Facebook, when first posted the picture, it went viral in just a couple of hours.

Here is the light output at 100 %. Photo taken with cell phone and posted in Instagram.
