Merging Romance and Texas Sun in Ransom Canyon

Netflix’s hit Western saga’s camera and lighting team needed bright, punchy light to match sunlight.

We have a bunch of haze in the room, and on the outside, we just had an XT26 bouncing into a Lightbridge.

Production moved between locations and stages, and output was critical, as was the ability to heighten the romantic tone.

The Electro Storm XT26 was a key tool. “The XT26 I’d say was a replacement for a 4k [HMI],” Koretz says.

To keep the heightened reality present in the visuals, light was almost always softened, bounced, or broken up.

Light Storm 1200ds and the 600c Pro also played a role, supporting sunlight through windows and as moonlight for exterior scenes.
