Duo Anchor News Desk
This 2 person news anchor setup uses a semi-circular approach for lighting the talent in a style that's soft and flattering. Soft key and fill light come from an arc of fixtures creating a soft wrap-around effect on both sides. Backlight from above / behind talent helps separate them from the background, and creates a sense of depth. Another pair of fixtures with barn doors are used to wash the set with soft even light.
All fixtures on the talent have intensifiers with honeycomb grids as front accessories. Intensifiers increase output and compensate for the light loss of the honeycomb grids, which are used in varying strengths to limit spill.
The below listed fixtures are chosen for a studio with 9-11 ft ceiling heights. To light from higher placed lighting grids, it may be necessary to use more powerful fixtures.
