Gaining access to an audience has never been easier. Gaining access to great gear has never been easier.

Is it possible to create polished, powerful content without the gear everyone else seems to be using?

Absolutely.

In this interactive workshop, we’ll discuss lighting and supportive tools. We’ll have hands-on for audience members, with the ability for audience members to shoot photos of the set up and resulting image. A model will be on-hand to create various lighting setups ranging from office interviews to run n’ gun field interviews. Attendees will have the opportunity to work with the instructor in setting up the “production” and equipment setup.

Planning production will include an overview of equipment that best-suits the needs of the production. Not all gear works for all types of capture scenarios!

Lighting – Experience portable lighting equipment that doesn’t break the bank yet while providing big budget quality, and experience a variety of guaranteed setups, built for speed and flexibility. Attendees will assist and direct lighting setup with the instructor. Attendees will also learn to set up custom lighting “presets” with certain brands of lighting product. We’ll be working with standard setups, but greater focus is placed on “this scenario is very different, how do I make it work?” adding cucoloris (cookies), ad-hoc adjustments, and how to rapidly adapt in changing scenarios.

Microlighting – This session will also highlight “Microlighting” techniques, using small battery-powered, backpackable lighting systems, and how they’re applied in various setups as production tools, but also creative lighting for backgrounds, product shots, etc.

This workshop is all about YOU the attendee; be ready to work with Douglas “on set” as the discussed equipment is setup for a small production at the end of the workshop.
