BRIEF

The blockbuster smash-hit Wicked adapted the stageplay and was nomimated for 13 Academy Awards. To create the look for the film, Alice Brooks, ASC collaborated with gaffer David Smith to utilise Litepanels Gemini lights on the production. Litepanels approached us to create a case study for the production.

About

We coordinated two days in the UK to film Brooks and Smith who discussed how they worked with light to create specfic moods in the film. Filmed at Leavesden across various stages, vast amounts of lighting was rigged in order to achieve and light big sets, such as forests and vast plains. Brooks discusses how colour theory plays a big role in how the audience interacts with the characters and story, and Smith reveals how they technically lit the production, sharing his personal lighting diagrams. Thanks to Universal Pictures for their support in this production and providing the film rights.
