| Title: |
Portable, Adaptable Set Lighting System |
| Abstract: |
A portable, adaptable, modular lighting system for use in television and
movie sets and locations, and other similar applications is described. The
system comprises a horizontal framework that is disposed on a plurality of
vertical members in such a way as to allow the framework to move up and
down relative to the vertical members. Lights, lighting fixtures, and
other similar fixtures are attached to the framework in such a way as to
enable the system to be remotely controlled. Specifically, in an
embodiment of the invention, the lights, fixtures, and/or framework are
computer controlled. As such, the operation, intensity, angle, height, and
other similar specifications of the system can be pre-programmed, and the
rig remotely operated, as needed. The system is portable, as the vertical
members are equipped with moving means, such as rollers, that allow the
entire rig to be moved from one set to another. The system suggests and
embodies an "assembly-line production" process in which sets are
separately constructed to allow the rig to move between and among them.
