Cinematographers paint with shadow and light to create mood and tone on the motion picture set. During this one day workshop, Jeff will cover basic lighting equipment, safety, and methodology for all forms of filmmaking. Students will learn to use various lighting and grip equipment to shape, bounce and shade light. The day will begin with a morning lecture followed by a small demonstration. After lunch the class will move outside to work with natural light where you will learn the tips and tricks of outdoor lighting. The day will conclude by working as a team and filming in a local establishment using various lighting and grip packages to creating a polished indoor set with dynamic lighting.
