Expanded 2nd Edition: POWERHOUSE 3-PACK now includes:
 |
1) Theories and Styles of Lighting. (22 minutes) goes into the
studio, outdoors and into 3D graphics sequences to give clear and vivid
examples and explanations of universally useful lighting principles. This
is the tutorial that can save your next video, film or photograph! Rather
than focus on one or two lighting "set-ups" like some introductory sessions,
Light Like a Pro explains and demonstrates key principles of lighting that
enable good image-making in nearly any situation. Don't guess at lighting,
master it and give your viewers a great visual experience. |
 |
2) Lighting for Interviews. (16 minutes). Solid, professional lighting
for interviews is not difficult if you know some basic principles and methods.
This tutorial goes step-by-step through a typical interior location interview
setup. Two set-ups are shown: A "polished" setup and a "Quick"
interview lighting set up that can be done in seconds. Also variations are
showed for masculine, feminine, conservative, dramatic and glamour interview
lighting styles. |
 |
3) Lighting for Chroma Key. (12 minutes). Chroma Key image compositing
is a vital tool for small-scale production to get a "bigger" look
with more visual interest on a limited budget, but it presents special technical
challenges. This step-by-step chroma key demonstration and explanations
are designed to eliminate the typical frustration and problems with chroma
key lighting that plagues inexperienced lighting technicians and compositing
editors. |

COMMENTS & REVIEWS
• "I am impressed with Jerry Dayís ability to pack so much useful information into a twenty minute package. His direct, no-nonsense style leads the neophyte movie maker on a fascinating journey on the nature of light and how to control it to bring out the most emotional value in any scene. What I like most is that he did not talk down or talk over the heads of the viewers. His fast-paced style forces the audience to pay attention so they can absorb all of the tips, tricks, and applications. His directness speaks to his believability and gives authority to the smallest detail."
- Tony Luna, Instructor, Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, CA
• "I purchased your Light Like A Pro video and I love it. I am in the
process of starting up my own company and have not been able to find good books
etc that could help me understand the concept of lighting. Your video is outstanding...I
wanted to see more of your knowledge on lighting." - Linda R Schexnayder,
Photographer, Antioch CA
• "Light Like A Pro is beautifully produced, superbly narrated and very
inspiring. This is no nonsense to the point instruction and techniques that
no one should be without in order to make their visions the best they can be.
Keep up the great work!" - Steve Noble, Animax Design Group, Victoria,
