    This course is designed to show how to light subjects and drama with natural light, led by DOP Ben Allan. It is wrong to think that because you are not lighting with electric lights you are not lighting a scene, but with creativity and a solid technical understand lighting with natural light can be incredibly rewarding and even a very fast way to shoot.




    CLASS 1
    Lighting a three person drama scene in a DOP's worst nightmare: a white wall, featureless square office - using only fluorescences and sunlight.

    CLASS 2
    High contrast filming with harsh sunlight in a car.

    CLASS 3
    Shooting on a sailing boat in high sun with evil contrast, bounce light and cramped conditions.

    CLASS 4
    How to shoot in a studio for outdoor natural sunlight.

    CLASS 5
    After drama and travel, we now shift to interviews. Here the goal is to get great results, but not interfere with interview process while still lighting two people with cross dual camera shooting. Everyone should watch this class as it is packed the tips and practical advice (we do a lot of interviews and trust us - this is invaluable advice).

    CLASS 6
    Matching a green screen shoot to natural light and lighting a green screen with the sun.

    CLASS 7
    Never light an actress from below, unless it is candle light. - anyone can look great in candle light.

    CLASS 8
    A change of pace, we film an entire travel promo on the streets in uncontrolled conditions. This is just the sort of promo that you might be called upon to make to promote a city, a location or as an introduction to any number of other packages.

    CLASS 9
    Drone shots necessitate an understanding of natural light, and how the freedom of movement must be factored in to produce good results.

    CLASS 10
    This is a special request episode where we ask you to Beat Ben - with your most annoying natural lighting situations.

    @wozawoza or anybody out there! A cry for a refresh, re-up or mirror would be appreciated. The description of this goody is quite appealing! I am so optimistic that something will show up I am going to put up a "like" for the OP. Thanks in advance from a natural/existing light lover.

    @Coraline , you seem to be a mirror monster with an infinite library, do you think you can help bring this back to life? I am only half joking. You really seem to be everywhere. Thanks in advance if you can lend a hand, and if not, you still have my heartfelt thanks for all your revival efforts from which I have already benefited muchly.
