Greetings, BAPVA members guests, and celebrities!
What is one of the most important contributors to production value? Lighting, you say? Right, you would be.
This month's meeting is going to focus on skills improvement in lighting for video. This will be a hands-on session. Our attendees will be broken up into 3 groups. Each group will rotate through 3 stations, each with a different lighting application set-up. Lighting set-ups will be shown, the set-up process described, why's and wherefore's will be discussed, questions answered, alternatives tried, etc.
The 3 set-ups will be: 1) Event run and gun on-camera lighting, 2) Sit-down interview lighting, and 3) Green screen lighting. These sessions are geared toward the advanced/expert videographer. They are not basic lighting classes. They assume the participant has a firm knowledge of lighting fundamentals and are meant to boost the skills of videographers that have many hours of lighting experience under their belts.
The stations will be managed by Oren Arieli, Mark Shepherd, and Steve Young.
Increasing Your Production Value Through Better Lighting
This is a hands-on session with 3 physical lighting setups as described below. Audience members will rotate through the stations for an in-depth learning experience. The sessions are geared toward advanced videographers. Everyone should attend, but don’t forego this meeting thinking we’re only going to rehash things you already know.
Lighting Station #1:
– Event Run and Gun on-camera Lighting
- On camera lights for 16:9 aspect ratio shooting
- Overcome lighting challenges of less sensitive HD cameras
- Avoiding the "deer in the headlights" look
- Inexpensive LED light solution
- Effective diffusers
- Cinematic dance floor lighting
Lighting Station #2:
- Sit-down Interview Lighting
- Minimizing the number of instruments and set-up time
- Modeling for different moods
- Dealing with challenges (bald heads, glasses, dark complexions, tight spaces, lens flare)
- Eye lights
- Eye lines
- Lighting backgrounds
- Making the talent pop
Lighting Station #3:
- Green Screen Lighting
- Correct screen exposure levels
- How to achieve even screen brightness
- Minimizing backwash on talent; using Bastard Orange gels
- Buying portable green screen gear
- Getting a crisp edge
- Physical space considerations
See you all there! (If the lights are bright enough)
