Lighting Techniques for Filmmakers & Photographers: 51 Minute Film School Course on Lighting

This lighting course is going to cover a lot of ground (a lot of the lighting techniques that I learned in film school). Each thing that I teach you, builds off of the previous lesson shown. Try to watch this entire video all at once, or at least subscribe to this channel and come back to it when you have more time. I highly suggest trying these techniques for yourself. Practice makes perfect.
