Film Lighting Made Simple
How to Craft Beautiful, Modern Lighting for Your Videos with Simple Light Setups - Inspired by Netflix's Chef's Table!
Description
Feeling intimidated by the lighting process as a filmmaker?
I don't blame you. From all the online lighting courses out there, it seems like complicated light set ups and a big crew are the only way to light beautiful shots. Well, after years of working as a professional cinematographer in the industry, I've come to realize this:
Beautiful lighting can be simple!
This course teaches beginners how to approach film lighting with simplicity & nuance, focusing on lightweight, affordable light set-ups for the independent filmmaker. Inspired by the gorgeous cinematography of the Netflix show Chef’s Table, this course is divided into three parts:
First, this course will train your eye to see the nuances of light.
Second, it will teach you how to shape light for your video in a streamlined 5 step method.
Third, it will apply all of the lessons in the real world by bringing you into a food and interview shoot of a private chef in Italy.
So get ready to have both your eyes and tastebuds drooling, as you leave with all the knowledge and a complete roadmap on how to create beautiful lighting for your film. This course is intended for complete beginners, but taking my “Creating a Beautiful, Cinematic Documentary with Soul” will help contextualize the lessons.
