Lighting is an art unto itself. Once understood, basic lighting techniques will help you transform home movies into something that is almost Hollywood cinematique. Host Alan Berg and professional photographer Matt Franklin explore ways to enhance lighting in home movies, using all types of lighting from the sun to standard indoor lamps. Using a standard commercial digital video camera, learn the tricks used by professionals to capture high-quality pictures at night and on bright days when the overhead sun tends to create harsh shadows. And although it's not fancy, you'll learn how to build an inexpensive light kit, using shop lights, dimmers, posterboard and extension cords; the results will rival those of kits costing hundreds of dollars more.
