"Light is at the Core of Who We Are"
- Martin Scorsese
Moloch is a Master's degree project (film school: MMA Salzburg) currently in editing. My job was to light the movie togehter with my talented colleague Steffen.
It will be a Black & White movie. Here is a film still:
We mostly used the versatile DEDOlights along with some big ARRIlights when needed. We build custom light into the set using halogen lamps and soldered some LEDs with a high enough CRI for a special prop. For one scene, we designed an animation an projected it on to bunker walls. We had a lot of fun :-)
All departments in a movie project require an intensive amount of conceptualizing and planning. Light is no different.

And here is me posing. My hair was rather short during the first part of the shooting last summer:
The movie is in editing stage and will be released this summer. Pia is working her way through of a lot of material:

There can never be a movie without talented people well fed.
