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 Chefs 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. Let’s get started!
