Natalie Kingston: The Art of Lighting from Within

Cinematography Salon

NOTE

The Art and Science of Lighting in Film Production

Conducting camera tests with the leads is not typical for every project, but it's an important practice. The speaker is passionate about faces, observing how they react to lighting and interacting with gaffers and key grips to achieve the right effects. They aim to minimize the use of special lights and prefer natural light to illuminate the space. The process involves experimenting with stand-ins and observing how they naturally interact with the room lighting before adding any additional lights as a last layer for specific effects. The speaker has requested lighting tests for features and small shows in the past.
