VELVET KOSMOS at “Society of the Snow” feature film
We are very proud to have lit up the set of the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 with our cutting-edge VELVET KOSMOS 400 provided by Aluzine Lighting Rentals. The talented cinematographer, Pedro Luque Briozzo, SCU, skillfully used our lighting solutions to create the special atmosphere inside the aircraft. The result is captivating. “Society of the Snow,” directed by the brilliant J.A. Bayona, has achieved global recognition with record-breaking figures on Netflix. This breathtaking masterpiece is now a nominee for the 96th Academy Awards in Best International Feature Film category. The film, which explores the harrowing events of the 1972 Andes plane crash, was shot in extreme natural locations and studios, making it a true testament to the power of cinematic storytelling.
KOSMOS gave us the perfect light for the leaden atmosphere of the high mountains
Daniel Verge, gaffer in this film production, explained in Camera & Light magazine (issue #126) the reason why they used KOSMOS 400:
“We used them when we looked for a cloudy feel, to give the film that light intent. KOSMOS is a LED fresnel with wide beam in flood mode and with diffusion, due its a high color temperature at 10.000K, is reminiscent of the leaden, cloudy light of the high mountains and makes it seem totally natural. Roberto Sacristán introduced them to me and after the camera tests we were really impressed with the result” – Daniel Verge.
