About This Webinar

The title says it all really…..

I will explore some of the simple ways you can use lighting to bring dramatic effects to your productions using old school production lighting techniques to apply simple but beautiful effects to your show without draining your production budget.

I don’t want to give too much away but….I will show you how to create a very simple ripple water effect with just a roll of tin foil and 1 lamp! I will share pictures and visual aids so you can see what you can create with light.

I will also spend some time talking about good colour choices so two colour washes can give you a third or even fourth option in your lighting rig. Lighting colour theory.

The handouts for this session are available by clicking the handout icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the video player.
