Two Wrongs

A short film set in Manchester, England.

Written By Simon Cade

Lighting breakdowns are my favourite way to learn lighting.  You just can’t help but pickup lots of tips and techniques, and see how the different lights work together. This week we’ve got some more setups, but this time using three lights.

Lighting is something i’m really trying to dig into, and this video is the result of my latest lighting exploits. I’ve put together 4 different lighting setups, which will hopefully give you some ideas about how to have full control over your lighting.  Placement, intensity, diffusion and gels are just a few of the things to consider when lighting, so it’s good to see how others work.
