The Big Light Social is coming to London later this week, offering the opportunity to get hands-on with the latest LED virtual production technology in an interactive workshop setting.

Presented by SHL & LCA in association with London AV & Emmyland, the event provides a free virtual production and image-based lighting workshop at London Film Studios.

An overview of events is available below.

  • Learn how simple it is to sync an LED wall with lighting and camera to match colour temperature, RGB and shadows with Ambien LondonAV, Emmyland, FrameSync, Assimilate and Creamsource
  • Check out the latest product releases from Creamsource, Nanlux, Rosco, DoP Choice, Litegear and more
  • Experience cutting-edge tools shaping the future of film and TV lighting
  • Network with industry leaders and like-minded professionals

In a press release, event organisers said: “Big Light Social isn’t just about seeing the latest kit – it’s about using it.”

Over two days, London Film Studios will offer:⁠

On the A Stage

  • Image-Based Lighting with Dan Walters and LiveFX from Assimilate – master the art of lighting with real environments

On the B Stage 

  • FrameSync demos – see how to sync high-speed lighting effects to camera

On the C Stage 

  • Rosco Day-to-Night Backdrop – flip the scene from day to night yourself⁠ 

On The Mezzanine

The event takes place on Friday 3 October, from 3pm to late, and Saturday 4 October, from 10am-3pm⁠.
