Pre-Light: lighting setup at a glance


Lighting for film and television is an tiring and time consuming process. It often involves a great deal of manual labor and much running back and forth. I recently had the great pleasure of being presented with an opportunity to manage the lighting for American Dance Legend, produced by Karma Butler. For the first time, I was forced to bring on another crew member due to the scale and scope of the lighting for this production. My new crew member had no idea quite what he had gotten himself into. This was a new and interesting experience.
