B0321 | SERIES OVERVIEW
Artemis Classic Ellipse
A high-output classic film balloon that combines elongated diffusion with HMI daylight, tungsten warmth or independently controlled HMI/tungsten hybrid configurations for demanding exterior and stage work.
Series Introduction
Artemis Classic Ellipse is developed around the ellipse form as a deliberate cinematography tool, not simply a decorative balloon. Its role is to create a larger apparent source, soften shadows and place useful light above or beside the set with less floor hardware. The product is configured around the production’s camera movement, mounting plan, power distribution, colour strategy and operating environment.
What Defines the Series
· HMI, tungsten or hybrid source choices support traditional cinema workflows and high-output requirements.
· Elongated geometry creates broad coverage with more directional control than a sphere.
· Independent lamp circuits and skirts support fast changes between ambience, key direction and exposure level.
· External ballasts, header cables and service access are planned as part of the production package.
· Thermal clearances, lamp protection and trained-operation requirements are integrated into engineering.
Typical Applications
· Feature-film night streets and backlots.
· Large period locations.
· High-output stage ambience.
· Commercial vehicle and architectural sequences.
· Productions matching established HMI/tungsten inventories.
Representative Planning Profiles
Configuration | Indicative size | Indicative source | Power / control | Best fit |
Classic Ellipse HMI | Approx. 2–5 m long | 575 / 1200 / 2400 W HMI configurations | AC ballast supply | Daylight-balanced exterior ambience |
Classic Ellipse Tungsten | Approx. 2–5 m long | 1 / 2 / 5 kW tungsten combinations | AC dimmer or approved supply | Warm night and studio work |
Classic Ellipse Hybrid | Approx. 3–6 m long | Selected HMI + tungsten circuits | Independent AC circuits | Variable blend and traditional colour strategy |
How to Select the Right Artemis Form
Choose by the shape of the required luminous field and the physical constraints of the shot. Ellipse favours broad direction; Sphere favours environmental spread; Tube follows a long axis; Pad creates a shallow ceiling; Iris, Xpad and Xhalo solve compact or specialized portable tasks. Source technology is then selected by output, colour, control, power, heat, noise and the rental or ownership model.
Recommended Project Inputs
· Scene and camera coverage plan.
· Target mounting height and available rigging points.
· Required CCT, colour control and dimming method.
· Power source, connector standard and permitted cable path.
· Wind, weather, noise and operating-duration conditions.
· Required documentation, delivery date and service scope.
