Litepanels has put out a video where you can explore the lighting and cinematography employed by DP, Alice Brooks ASC, and Chief Lighting Technician, David Smith to bring a new and fantastical world of Oz to life.
Alice Brooks ACS and David Smith will tell you how they lit the Forbidden Forest, The Ozdust Ballroom, and the Throne Room.
Over 800 Gemini 2×1 Hard RGBWW panels were supplied by Universal Production Services and rigged across multiple stages. They were selected for their color, light quality, precise control, and smooth low-end dimming. The Geminis were versatile enough to handle a wide range of lighting tasks, from illuminating backings to providing soft, diffused spacelight.
If you are also interested, you can watch a fascinating conversation with Alice Brooks ACS on the Go Creative Show where she talks about the cinematography of Wicked and the use of practical effects.
