Day 15 of National Podcast Post Month.

In this show I talk about the variety of ways lighting contributes to the character and the story of your video.

Minimal editing on this episode, sorry, but I ran out of time. Check out the blog for more information about the various colors of light and how to use them in a shoot.

In this show I review three movies that are an excellent resource on learning about using lights in filmmaking for anyone regardless of their skills or experience.

PODCAST PRODCUTION NOTE: I have finally aquired a domain and am also publishing this show on a self hosted WordPress site at videostudentguy.com.

If you're subscribing to this podcast through iTunes nothing has changed, but going forward, all show notes and additional information, such as embedded video, images and blogs not related to specific podcast episodes will appear only at the videostudentguy.com address. I will continue to use Libsyn, they've been a great host, there just won't be much information attached to the posts.

Here's the feed to the new blog:

A recent performance by Michael J. Fox promoted me to think about how important are the choices that you make while you're filming are to the story you're telling. Even simple things, like changing the frame once or twice can make all the difference.

Aside from the misleading title, I'm quite serious about creating stories that leave an impact. Just one individual who is changed is a positive, constructive thing.

Election day rant aside, I'm sure everyone of the producers of those political ads feel they're trying to the same. But that frame of mind is just the point I'm making. To create something that has legs that can exist beyond a specific moment or action in time is an essential element of art.

Honestly, just trying to explain this idea tires me, it seems like arguing in a circle. Enough of this, I hope you find some meaning in what I have to say.

Here are links to some of the pictures I talk about in this episode:
