ep54 - Is Reflected Light Better Light? | Hierarchy & Attitudes on Film Sets | How the Film Industry is Changing with Jakob Ballinger from Lightbridge
In this episode, we are honored to welcome a distinguished guest: Jakob Ballinger, founder and CEO of Lightbridge. With over a decade of experience as a Gaffer alongside Director of Photography Christian Berger, Jakob co-developed the innovative CRLS – Cine Reflectors – introduced in 2017. This groundbreaking approach to lighting emphasizes the use of reflected light to create naturalistic moods, resulting in cleaner sets with fewer stands and fixtures encumbering actors' spaces. Driven by a passion for sharing and inspiring new ideas, Jakob established Lightbridge to disseminate this evolution in lighting tools to filmmakers worldwide. Join us for an insightful conversation as Jakob shares his perspectives on the future trajectory of the film industry.
