Lighting - May '23

Add depth, contrast and a more professional look to your video projects with lighting!
Lighting for video is unlike lighting for photography, film, theater or game design. This workshop introduces you to professional lighting techniques and equipment specific to video. Setting up a scene for lighting (or even shooting documentary footage in the field) can make a subject go from flat and uninteresting to vibrant and powerful. Learn to reduce lighting set-ups to their fundamentals, revealing the structure that style is built upon. This is one of the most game-changing classes you will ever enroll in, especially if you're serious about filmmaking, because you'll learn best practices and trade secrets.
