THE SUNBOUNCE IDEA - FROM THE IDEA TO THE REVOLUTIONARY SYSTEM

1. THE IDEA

The aim of developing “THE SUNBOUNCE LIGHTING SYSTEM” is to provide the mobile film-maker and photographer with a very light, transportable, reliable and rigid tool that delivers the same light qualities as the heavy ones known from Hollywood’s film industry. But without all the effort.

2. THE STANDARD

”THE SUNBOUNCE LIGHTING SYSTEM” is handy, easy to carry and possible to take on a plane when folded. It fits in every passenger car and there it only occupy a small space of the boot so that it can be with you any time. It be combinable with all necessary reflection and diffusion fabrics for light enhancement.

3. THE SOLUTION

“THE SUNBOUNCE LIGHTING SYSTEM” is the only one of its kind in the world and consists of five different frame constructions, each in different sizes, to which various fabrics can be attached. Light reflecting, diffusing, structuring and enhancing colours.

4. REALISATION

Unique components make up “THE SUNBOUNCE LIGHTING SYSTEM”.

5. ROBUST AND YET AS LIGHT AS A FEATHER

The SUNBOUNCE designers replaced heavy, simple parts of the constructions with light and clever materials used in aircraft construction. The “PRO Frame” with a size of 130 x 180 cm only weighs 1,800 grams – this is lighter than a professional camera. The synergy of frame stability and screen creates the unique light quality of „THE SUNBOUNCE LIGHTING SYSTEM“. Light can easily and precisely be controlled to 100% with a constant reflector without bumps and dents. Clean, constant light - just as the professional would expect. Light HANDMADE IN GERMANY.

6. THE FRAMES OF THE REFLECTORS AND DIFFUSORS

“THE SUNBOUNCE LIGHTING SYSTEM” consists of five different frame constructions. The frames are dimensioned and optimised for their respective application. Possible wind load on large frames requires a different construction compared to small frames. The reflectors must have a different construction to the diffusers. However, some SUNBOUNCE frames allow reflective and diffusion function.

7. UNIQUE: THE SYNERGY OF FRAME AND SCREEN

The SUNBOUNCE screens are sewn by hand by highly qualified seamstresses in the Lüneburger Heide near Hamburg/Germany. SUNBOUNCE HANDMADE IN GERMANY – unique in its quality and function! The synergistic interaction of FRAME and SCREEN creates the unique SUN-BOUNCER and SUN-SWATTER: without bumps and without dents and guaranteed to create reliable, soft or harsh but always professional light for the expert.
