Overhead Rig For Lexus Commercial Using Litegear's Auroris X LEDs

A Breakdown: LiteGear’s Auroris X and its Counterparts

Discover LiteGear’s groundbreaking Auroris X LED—a dynamic, large-format full-color overhead light source. It blends high-quality color rendition with surgical DMX control. Notably, this light is engineered to push creative boundaries in professional lighting.

Typically, crews utilize the Auroris X for larger overhead rigs due to its massive scale and output. For instance, during a 2022 car commercial (featured below), we pixel-mapped the entire array specifically to simulate the sensation of high-speed movement. By employing this advanced technique with this light, we subsequently brought the Lexus commercial to life. The result was a level of realism and accuracy that traditional lighting simply cannot match.

To achieve this look, we diffused the Auroris X twice within the rig. Initially, we utilized a Light Grid. This was then followed by a layer of seamless bleached muslin. Despite this heavy diffusion, we were still able to maintain a healthy F11 (at 24fps/800 ISO) from a distance of 15 feet. Ultimately, this impressive output provided us with extra exposure for specialty probe lenses and high-speed frame rates. This combination thereby gave the director total creative flexibility. In short, LiteGear’s Auroris X LED excels in versatility and comprehensive output.

LiteGear’s Auroris X Setup: Unrivaled Power

Only an array of ARRI SkyPanels or Creamsource Vortexes can rival this level of horsepower. However, those alternatives weigh significantly more, cost more, and demand more rigging time from your crew.

Furthermore, Geronimo Creek offers the full truss kit and diffusion sets for the Auroris series as rentals. Since these comprehensive kits assemble in just minutes, they serve as an incredibly efficient resource for any production. Consequently, they provide a rapid, effective solution for building custom, high-quality overhead lighting rigs on set. This approach thereby saves your crew valuable time during the build. Additionally, many productions prefer Auroris X for its advanced rental options and efficient setup.
