Claypaky lighting fixtures are playing a central role in the Indian entertainment industry. Light Craft & Sound have deployed Claypaky products on recent projects.
Lighting designers Imran Shaikh and Naresh Bhutedia have both relied on Claypaky fixtures on recent projects, with Naresh serving as the lighting designer for both Anuv Jain’s Arz Kiya Hai music video and the motion picture feature, Deva, where Claypaky fixtures played a key role in shaping the visual language of the performances in the film.
For singer/songwriter Anuv Jain, the music video of his ballad Arz Kiya Hai featured both studio and live performances. Naresh used 15 Claypaky Tambora Battons and 10 Sharpy X Frames to create soft, atmospheric looks that complemented Anuv’s music style. Naresh explained: “The precision in beam control and colour consistency helped us achieve clean transitions and subtle mood shifts without overpowering the artist’s presence on stage”.
For Deva, Naresh deployed 40 Claypaky Sharpy X Frames to create a dynamic and high-energy atmosphere. The lights delivered sharp beams, fast movements, and impactful aerial effects, allowing the team to execute complex cues seamlessly during high-intensity sequences.
For both projects, the ability of the fixtures was praised to deliver the flexibility needed to move between cinematic, soft looks, and powerful concert visuals.
Imran Shaikh delivered a Claypaky solution for the nostalgic hit song, Bijuria, which appears in the romantic comedy film Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. Imran chose 30 Claypaky Mythos and 25 Sharpy X Frames, creating a rich, atmospheric visual tone. Imran said: “Claypaky fixtures helped us achieve beam control and smooth colour transitions, allowing us to enhance the depth and mood of the frames while maintaining a cinematic aesthetic”.
The musical love story, Saiyaara, featured a complement of 116 Mythos, 56 Volero Wave, and 24 Tambora Flash fixtures, while the visually expansive title track of Son of Sardaar 2, used more than 70 Mythos in its production.
