What you'll learn
An invaluable, hands-on, 2 day advanced course for working DPs and Gaffers. This workshop dives deep into refined lighting techniques for documentary, narrative films, and commercials.
Using case studies that provide insight into the best practices Luke has developed over his career, this class will show how certain images were achieved with detailed knowledge. Students will cover dramatic lighting techniques used to film Patrick Stewart, Dakota Johnson, Sacha Baron Cohen, and many others. Luke will also draw lessons from his commercial work with Victoria’s Secret ads, and documentary work like Buck, Helvetica, and Netflix’s Abstract: the Art of Design. The workshop also covers large lighting setups like those used on OKGO’s I Won’t Let You Down video.
Students are encouraged to bring in unique clips or images that they’re curious about so Luke can decode how they were done and show how to apply those techniques to their own cinematography and filmmaking work.
Students will get advanced hands-on instruction explaining the construction, dynamics, and uses of most all lighting units used on-set. We will explore the quality of each unit and how to control it in various situations as well as how to control color, hard and softness, flicker, and CRI characteristics. Lighting units covered include:
-Tungsten
-LED
-HMI
-fluorescent
-pars
-fresnels
You’ll get hands-on experience with practical lighting set-ups and address issues of flexibility, expression, and speed. Lighting set ups we'll cover include:
-dramatic effect
-comedy
-silhouettes
-night exteriors
-interviews
