Lighting was a key part of the second season of Jemaine Clement’s mockumentary series “What We Do in the Shadows,” about a pack of vampires on Staten Island, which returned April 15 via FX, and airs on Hulu the following day.
Cinematographer D.J. Stipsen shot most of the show’s first season as well as the 2014 film on which the series is based. He knew that the second episode of Season 2, which features a ghost infestation in which the spirits have a glowing, spectral appearance, would require additional illumination. By chance, CG supervisor Leo Bovell had stumbled across a behind-the-scenes photo from “Ghostbusters” of an actor wearing an Led suit, which led to the use of Astera lighting tubes that were sewn into the costumes and easily controlled by board operators to provide the effects required.
The Astera tubes came in particularly handy in Episode 3 as well, when the vampire...

It's capable of bringing down a T-Rex in prehistoric times, so just imagine the meal it could have with a modern-day menu. The massive Megalodon shark from Steve Alten's 1997 novel, Meg, will finally come to life on film via Warner Bros., but viewers now have a bit longer of a wait to see the ultimate apex predator make its splash on the big screen.
Multiple sources, including Variety, report that Meg will now be released in theaters (in 3D and IMAX) on August 10th, 2018, moving it several months from its previous March 2nd slot.
Directed by Jon Turteltaub (Last Vegas, National Treasure) and featuring a cast that includes Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Cliff Curtis, Rainn Wilson, and Ruby Rose, filming on Meg began last October in New Zealand, with shooting on the project also being done in China.
