Lighting a Candlelight Scene with Peter Stein, ASC
Learn advanced methods for candelight effects.
Advanced Cinematography Workshop

Saturday, Aug 17, 2013 | 1:00pm-5:00pm
Manhattan, New York City

What You Will Learn:
Discussion and Analysis: We will not light an entire film by candlelight, as John Alcott did in Barry Lyndon. But used judiciously, candlelight provides a warm glow. Many films use it in all sorts of contexts, and it is particularly valuable for use in period films. We will look at some films with candlelight and discuss how to achieve it. There have been many technological advances which make this effect easier to achieve today.
Exercise: Then with the students as the crew we will light a night scene with a person at a table - we will then add a candle and see how profound the effect can be.

Who Should Attend:
All levels of filmmakers, videographers, cinematographers, camera operators, directors, producers, content creators, convergence shooters, journalists, and all other crew positions. The workshop is designed for students and professionals.
