EPISODE 91: RATIOS, A WAY TO LIGHT FASTER

I remember watching cinematographers and gaffers use light meters and thought, "man I don't have time for that, it's too slow!". That was true in the beginning when all I was doing was run and gun but using that same mindset as the budgets and projects got bigger meant that my ability to light was still looking the same - relying on natural light which can only get you so far. By understanding your ratios (Key to Background etc) you start to understand what you want your end image to look like that. Having this knowledge allows you to start building a path of progression to build better images at a higher level, using false color and a light meter are great tools to support you on your path. In this episode I break down a recent shoot where I used both false color and my light meter to help me light faster especially when you're traveling to places you have never been before.
