Film and Television Rigging Safety: Netflix’s “Chupa” Use WindSmart Behind The Scenes
Scarlet’s WindSmart Bluetooth Wireless Anemometer is a popular choice for film and television rigging safety. Recently, WindSmart was used to ensure rigging safety at Netflix’s “Chupa”, a new upcoming family movie starring Oscar-nominee Demian Bichir and set in Mexico.
On film and television sets, the WindSmart Bluetooth anemometer helps crews track wind speed and direction to ensure safety during extended lifts of fabric drops, which are used to diffuse natural light to achieve the cinematic look or provide shade for actors.
These lifts are extended high up in the air with crews and film sets under it. This brings safety concerns especially when filming is done outdoors where weather factors such as wind speed and direction can have a significant impact. Crews on the set can download the app and monitor the wind speed and direction easily from the convenience of a smart phone at any time.
