Video Lighting Tutorial.

 
Bobbi Lane shares a 30-second tuto­r­ial on light­ing tech­niques for dig­i­tal cin­ema using only two Lowel Tota 1000-watt lights (more about this on a future post). Before and after images and light­ing dia­grams are included.

Is this too short? Too long? Would you like to see more 30-second Tuto­ri­als? Talk to us.

    I like longer tuto­ri­als :(

    Way too short, maybe around 3 min for this sort of thing would be good. I mean it looks like you know what you are doing so impress it!

    I think the dia­gram at 0.42  con­tra­dicts the shot just pre­vi­ous. In the shot at 0:36, the key looks like it is much more directly in front of the inter­view sub­ject and just over Eduardo’s left shoul­der. But in the dia­gram, the key looks to be at close to 90 degrees to both the inter­viewer and the inter­vie­wee. Eduardo, can you clarify?

    Mike, the dia­gram at 0:42 is cor­rect. I am sit­ting next to Bobbi, not in front of her. The back­ground light was per­haps a bit closer to her than the dia­gram but the over­all posi­tion­ing is accurate.

       Awe­some! Thanks! I’d love to see more quick lit­tle tuto­ri­als like this one. Great job!

       Eduardo, may I ask another ques­tion? I was won­der­ing about the bulbs used in this shot. I’m guess­ing 750 watt in the key and 500 watt in the backlight?

        Mike, for this spe­cific job shoot we used 2 Lowel Tota 1000-watt lights. I’ll add that info to the post. Thank you for the feedback.
