Version 2 selects MDG ATMe haze for television  

Version 2, which specialises in lighting hire specifically for the television industry, has expanded its stock of MDG products with the addition of two ATMe haze generators.

Good haze is one of the most critical ingredients to a show, particularly for television. “Primetime television programmes are broadcast to millions of viewers and demand a highly polished result”, says Nick Edwards, managing director of Version 2.  “A fine balance is needed between deploying enough haze to achieve the desired beam read on camera, yet not so much as to cause ‘noise’ or graininess in the image. To get this wrong can really spoil a good show and ultimately lead to complaints from the broadcaster.”

Version 2 has employed its ATMe generators on shows across the BBC, Sky and ITV networks, including shows like “Family Fortunes”, “Sky Arts Late Show”, “Don’t Hate the Playaz”, and BBC’s top-rating show, “Strictly Come Dancing” (with lighting director David Bishop), where ATMe generators are sited in a permanent “set standing” install on the George Lucas Stage at Elstree Studios.
