EP 35 – LIGHT PLACEMENT – ON SET EFFICIENCY

As a cinematographer, I have always been influenced and inspired by light. To me, light makes my job fresh, new, and exciting. Not everything about lighting has to deal with the quality it emits and which fixture you are going to pick. To really be a wizard at lighting, you need to understand the light itself, how it runs, and ultimately its limitations when out in the field.

Time and time again, I see filmmakers boning themself when they ask for big sources and have no clue what is necessary to power one of those lights. This is where power distribution, generator etiquette, and set execution comes in! In this podcast, I go full circle in answering  your questions on lighting, best applications, and how to avoid rookie mistakes on set.
