CINEMILLS Green Screen

CINESOFT 200 and Matt De Mattos
Recently, CINEMILLS shot video products with our new green screen wall. Hosted by, Matt De Mattos from, CMC TV.

The Cinesofts are 50, 100, & 200 watt studio LED lighting systems for the most discerning motion picture production and broadcast studio professionals. They generate up to 20,000 lumens of high spectral quality light. They are fully dimmable from 100% down to off, in 5% increments for fine-grain interactive lighting control without flicker or color shift. The Cinesoft professional imaging tools are without equal. With a lightweight yet rugged aluminum alloy construction, incredible lighting performance and full featured control system it’s designed from the ground up to be your go-to choice for the most exacting lighting tasks. Its light output replaces a 500W Tungsten softlight. It has a color temperature (Kelvin) range between 2800K and 5600K. Select from 5 preset Kelvin settings (2800K, 3200K, 4000K, 5000K, 5600K) or use the dedicated jog wheel to modulate color temperature in real time. Dimming and color temperature can be controlled simultaneously using interactive jog wheels for maximum creative control and interactivity. Full DMX512 control over dimming and color temperature, with a professional 5 pin interface. Includes a robust yoke for stand mounting or suspension. An integral 4 point rope hang system is also built into the housing, so you can mount the Cinesoft in virtually any configuration.

CINEMILLS SILVER BULLET Graced the Cover of Time Magazine - MadMen

CINEMILLS recently graced the cover of TIME Magazine for the final season of MadMen. In the cover, John Hamm and Christina Hendricks posing in the film set, and right in the middle of it, is our legendary lighting, Silver Bullet.

The show will surely be missed, as last episode of Mad Men premiered last night. As TIME mentioned, "IT MADE TELEVISION HISTORY BY MAKING HISTORY INTO TELEVISION."

Thank you, MadMen for entertaining us for several years!




The Cinemills 20/24K Tungsten incandescent, fresnel continues to serve at the forefront of the studio lighting industry. With 24,000 watt upgrades, this legendary luminaire represents the CMC commitment to future proofing the product line.

A flattering 29" Fresnel produces splendid contrast and control without artifacts or distortions and is augmented by a brilliant new 16" reflector system that produces voluminous light. Topping the list of the 20/24K’s qualifications is an incredible hand fitted construction, by experienced craftsmen, ensuring the best possible tolerances in an attractive and dependable fixture. The CMC 20/24K can be cold started, or used in conjunction with a fully DMX-able, stand-alone dimmer pack. Globes are available in 208, 220 and 240vac specifications.
