LIGHTING USING LIGHT AND SHADOW TO BUILD ATMOSPHERE
Mastery of light – from renting a barrage of artificial lights for a shoot or careful application of a mixture of ambient and practical sources – is what this award is all about. We’re looking for uses of lighting that create a certain feel. That’s certainly the case in Feel Me , a short for a near-future drama TV pilot written, directed, produced, shot and edited by entrant Corry Raymond. The care and attention poured into every scene – from the performances to cinematography – resulted in a cohesive, thought- provoking piece. The visually attractive film blends comedy and horror to reflect the stresses of modern living.
Lighting is critical when it comes to making professional-level productions, and natural light often just isn’t good enough. The right lighting that turns your film project into something special shouldn’t be overlooked, so you need to have equipment you can rely on without blowing the budget. For pro-level lighting that’s great value, Godox boasts various LEDs to suit all needs and pockets. The brand offers powerful COB lights, fresnel lights and modifiers, LED light panels in large and small light sizes, plus practical sources such as tube lights. The most popular lights for filmmaking are the wide range of COB lights, which come
with a Bowens mount that can take many different modifiers that truly enhance your films.
