Dear Film Maker,
In a recent article, award winning cinematographer Mathew Libatique ASC said “In cinematography, forget DSLR’s, forget film, forget everything – it’s all about lighting and exposure. That separates the talented people from the untalented in storytelling. If you know how to light, you know how to expose”
Ironically, DSLR’s in general are easy to use, but you have to be way more precise. If you really want to maintain the detail in your highlights, or if you want to give the impression of dynamic range, you actually have to know how to achieve that as a DP. If you are an achiever and if you’re at all like me, you are always looking for the ‘edge’, looking to make sure you know everything you need to enable you to maximise your effectiveness and fulfillment, both as a creative person and as a Film Maker. If that’s you, I have some very important information for you.
Over the last few years, there have been dramatic breakthroughs in video production technology, but it doesn’t mean that because there are new tools available, achieving great lighting is any easier. In fact, the array of technology can be confusing and it is easy to get stuck with the gear you need, rather than learning how to light video effectively.
Lighting for Digital Film Makers – Interactive Home Study Program
I’ve created a unique program for a limited number of creative individuals and Film Makers, who want to master this skill and dramatically improve their video production lighting.
A 3+ hour interactive video program which promises to be an extraordinary experience for those who choose to up their lighting game.
What is Lighting For Digital Film Makers ?
This unique program offers you a Blueprint for how to replicate ‘film industry lighting techniques’. There are ‘trade secrets’ that are rarely shared outside of the professional film making world, you can duplicate these principles in your own work straight away and demonstrate a radically different approach from the norm. Most Film Makers are ‘fixing’ badly lit video in post, or worse still, not lighting at all because DSLR’s are so light sensitive, but you know that this is amateurish.
I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you how integral lighting is to your film making. Lighting is everything. More specifically, mastering the tools and learning how to duplicate the ’35mm Cinema Look’, understanding how to make a little lighting go a long way and duplicating high production value is the key to both artistic freedom and personal creative satisfaction.
Here’s what you’ll discover on this unique program…
- How the four components of light work together to bring your creative ideas to reality, on screen
- How to duplicate the three core skills in video production lighting
- How to deal with the multitude of lighting gear decisions

Here’s what other Film Makers have said about their experience:
“As a beginner and coming ‘in from the cold’, I found this course a tremendous leg-up.
Surely, one could find similar information on the web all over the top, but this is a highly structured and well put together course by people who obviously know what they’re doing. This course has really given me more confidence in following this path”.
Chris Kunnert, Cork Ireland
Fantastic program, a bargain at twice this price.
Despite what I thought I knew, this course definitely showed me what was lacking and quickly filled in the holes. The lighting is proving to be invaluable. The ability to work around my schedule without having to travel to a workshop or bootcamp was invaluable… Cheers!

“Den, you and your crew put on a great course…
Even more professional and well thought out than I expected )and I expected a lot!). The presentation was warm and friendly, down to earth and you gave us great insight into the technicalities in a fun and engaging way. It’s apparent you guys really know your stuff. Thanks again (and again!)
