Lighticians are a team of experts in lighting for video production. The company approached us to work on a highly specialized project: to redesign a remote light control app for fixtures.
Our primary goal was to redesign the Apollo Control mobile app, focusing on user experience, feature enhancement, and compatibility with various lighting fixtures. The project entailed a series of carefully planned steps to ensure the app’s functionality and ease of use for both professional and amateur lighting professionals.
We started with a comprehensive UX report that described what was wrong with the design and didn’t work with the flow. The UX report also included suggestions on how to fix the bugs and improve the flow.
Lighticians liked our honesty and expertise — we moved to the next steps.
Color mixing is an art of many nuances and intricacies. Lighticians go by the philosophy of working with four parameters of light — the manipulation of these parameters creates a custom effect for a scene. Considering the complexity of color mixing, the app’s design is the key element that lets gaffers work effectively.
Lighting professionals use certain features and light options in a specific way. We mapped out those preferences, using established approaches in the industry to create a simple yet comprehensive layout.
The new flow allowed professional gaffers to fine-tune configuration options for different modules but also let amateur light operators adjust their light the way they needed it.
Lighticians Apollo Control is an easy and intuitive mobile application for remote light control available for iPhone and iPad. The application's design includes key light control options that fit into a limited screen space of iPhones.
The layout of the iPad version of Lighticians Apollo Control adjusts automatically to the larger screen to display more detailed light mixing options. The app works with different bridges and is compatible with other hardware on the market.
Drawing on the combined experience of professional gaffers, the app gives lighting professionals a seamless and detailed control of light. Lighticians Apollo Control lets users save lighting profiles for different projects and adjust them with advanced lighting options.
Robust scene profiles help light professionals manage their light setups and stay organized during shooting.
The new layout and UX allows professional gaffers to fine-tune configuration options for different modules but also lets amateur light operators adjust their light the way they needed it.
Lighticians Apollo Control is designed to cater to amateur and expert lighting professionals. The app can be used on movie sets and TV shows, plus in amateur productions for TikTok or YouTube.
