This project focused on retrofitting a practical Maglite torch to enable full control via RDM (Remote Device Management), providing a smarter and more repeatable lighting solution for use on set. To achieve this, we integrated our 2 Channel RDM controller directly inside the torch housing, allowing the unit to be operated remotely through a lighting console rather than manually switched on and off. Internal Controller Integration The retrofit required careful modification of

Creating realistic shadows in computer-generated imagery(CGI) can be a complex and expensive task during post-production. We met this challenge head on in a recent project, developing a 120mm LED ball, designed to generate real-time light and shadow effects during filming. The innovative solution delivers authentic lighting effects, which assist the CGI team in post-production by enhancing the integration of CGI elements with live-action footage, saving both time and costs.
