Learn Lighting Techniques Through the Short Documentary 'Let There Be Light' Many new filmmakers spend a lot of time honing different crafts, such as screenwriting, camera operation, and editing.

Learn Lighting Techniques Through the Short Documentary 'Let There Be Light'

While those skills are important to develop, light and shadows are a large part of the foundation of filmmaking, and learning how to control light is one of the most important skills for filmmakers to learn. Check out Let There Be Light, a short documentary/tutorial (docutorial?) By Mark Vargo, a second unit DP who guides us quickly through the history of artificial lighting, the Inverse Square Law, different light fixtures, and how they are used in filmmaking. Vargo has spent over 20 years in the camera and electrical department on such films as 3:10 to Yuma, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Ted, and White House Down. In Let There Be Light, he explains how light evolved from gas-lit street lamps to the powerful bulbs we use in filmmaking today.

I bought the screen used off ebay and rewired it to a 12v battery pack (also ebay). The screen is mounted on an articulating ball joint from a car GPS unit. I’m using the A/V for the video signal so not as sharp as HDMI but the screen has good resolution. The screen makes focus a lot easier (works better indoors / low glare) and it cuts the camera screen so saves a ton of battery on the camera. It’s nice to go hand held and have the screen point down for high shots too. Camera Support from Amazon. Support System. Video Production Shoulder Rig.

The Best DIY Dolly Might Already Be Sitting in Your Garage (Yes, a Car) You might already be thinking, yes, I use this already, or no, it’s far too dangerous and probably illegal where I live. Any of those things could very well be true, but a car can be very useful as a DIY dolly. I’ve utilized cars more times than I can remember just for this purpose, and they work great in a pinch or when a dolly would just be impractical.

Even if you already know all of the benefits, there might be some ideas in this Vimeo Video School clip you haven’t thought of before: Safety is unquestionably the most important factor when dealing with any moving vehicles, especially if someone is riding on them in a way not originally intended (like in the video above). It may seem obvious, but if you’re ever going to be doing anything where the camera person is not completely strapped in, make sure that the car is moving at walking speeds or a sudden stop could mean serious harm to the person (and possibly to your expensive DSLR).

At CineGear 2012, there were some interesting developments in lighting, particularly Kino Flo’s Celeb LED Panel, which allows for 5 customizable color temperature presets ranging from 2700K to 5500K. But aside from that, the features of the Celeb and the other lights shown at the expo were pretty much what one would expect from a typical studio light: a color temperature ranging somewhere between tungsten and daylight, dimmable bulbs, and either soft light panels or harder lights in the form of adjustable fresnel fixtures.

But what if there was a studio light that more fully took advantage of the low heat, low power draw, and color changing abilities of LED’s?
