I fought with the lighting 3 times on this video. It really is the key to telling your story on any video production. I realized that the most important idea on great lighting is....don't give up. We knew what we wanted to do but getting there can really be hard. We ended up putting a "snoot" (black paper) around the LED light that we suspended above our subject and then put about 25 black table cloths around her to create that dark background you see in the video. The moral to this story is that genius does not have to cost a lot of money you just have to use the things you already have around you. Most importantly don't give up, we worked and adjusted till the lighting was exactly the way we wanted it. Take a look at the video and let me know what you think, its posted just below. Great lighting is critical to creating mood and vibe for a video shoot. Try a few ideas and work with what you have, don't give up on the vision you have for your video. Vibe is everything!!!
