Students at American Film Institute Got a Hands-On Experience with CINEMILLS 1200/1800W HMI PAR-NEL

Recently, we conducted a demo of our CINEMILLS 1200/1800W HMI PAR-NEL, at American Film Institute (AFI), and the students got a ‘hands-on’ experience of the fixture.

Also, the test results discovered, during the demo, that the CINEMILLS 1200/1800W PAR-NEL is one full stop brighter output in the flood position, over a major competitor! 


The CMC 1200/1800W HMI was born from the ingenuity of the industry 'stand-by', 1200 watt HMI PAR; CINEMILLS introduces the next generation in high output, 'household' HMI 'big guns'. The 12/18 PARNEL®  is the perfect blend of PAR output and Fresnel focus-ability in one, low cost and convenient product. The CINEMILLS patent pending, PARNEL® reflector was engineered to take your household lighting package to the next level. With a 1200W, single-ended (SE) globe, the PARNEL® gives approximately 1/2 stop of additional output for the same 15 amps of input power required by a traditional 1200W PAR. When the new 1800W, single ended (SE) globe is employed - together with the Power Gems 575/1200/1800W electronic ballast - you get the best power factor correction in the industry, at 17 amps of input power, together with the brightest 'wall power' performance in the CINEMILLS line. The CMC 12/18 PARNEL® is the perfect fixture for low budget or digital content film makers.

Light Meters To Measure The Proper Exposure

A camera has several features that can make your image top quality. But in order to get the best image exposure, the right settings needs to be implemented. The person behind the camera has to program the settings, and tools like light meters can help guide them.

Light can come from several sources; natural or artificial. In a professional setting, it is crucial the cinematographer or photographer be able to read what those lighting outputs are and eventually input the information into the camera to create a proper exposure.

Here is a great video from Sekonic, featuring Bobbi Lane.
