Lighting for Fire Effects with Peter Stein, ASC
Learn processes for creative fire effects.
Advanced Cinematography Workshop
Saturday, April 20, 2013 | 1:00pm-5:00pm
Manhattan, New York City
What You Will Learn:
Discussion and Analysis: Fire ranges from a comforting glow in the hearth to a wild conflagration raging through a forest. We will look at a few scenes from well-known films and discuss the fire effects on peoples’ faces and the walls, and how this reflects the mood of the scene. We will cover what the cinematographer needs to consider when building these effects, and then learn the process in creating them. Exercise: Without building an actual fire, we will light a scene as if a fire is burning just off-camera, with the firelight being reflected onto the scene. The key is to make a realistic effect. Students will assume key positions on the crew.
Who Should Attend:
All levels of filmmakers, videographers, cinematographers, camera operators, directors, producers, content creators, convergence shooters, journalists, and all other crew positions. The workshop is designed for students and professionals.
