"Lighting For Video Film Style" On DVD

 To get a "Film Look" on video, you need to light a scene "film style". Lighting is the element of production that shapes and forms the image that is being exposed. Unlike constantly changing cameras and software, that only tend to confuse the issue of how to create a warm, soft image, knowing how to light a scene quickly and accurately can render a profound look that will appeal to any audience.

Our DVD (a double disc set) is a comprehensive, 7 chapter program that runs for 2 1/2 hours. This program eliminates the practice of hit-and-miss lighting once and for all and is designed to render a full understanding as to how to light any set. This program teaches how to achieve a tightly lit scene with a pleasing warm image that has come to be known as the "Film Look". The techniques demonstrated on the DVD pertain to all camera formats ranging from 16mm and 35mm film, to DV and HD video and tapeless media capture.

The DVD covers a number of essential lighting topics such as exposure control, using exposure meters, lighting an interview in studio and on location, dealing with windows in a scene, color correcting industrial interiors and more.
