This course is an advanced and in-depth guide to arguably the most important part of a Director of Photography’s job: designing the lighting.
Rather than demonstrating techniques in isolation in a studio, this course takes place entirely on location. The intent is to show the realities of creating beautiful lighting while dealing with the usual challenges of real independent film production, like time, weather and equipment, as well as meeting the requirements of the script.
The course consists of four modules: Day Exterior, Day Interior, Night Interior and Night Exterior. Each module follows the blocking, lighting and shooting of a short scripted scene (inspired by the fantasy web series Ren: The Girl with the Mark) with two actors in full costume. Watch experienced Director of Photography Neil Oseman and his team set up all the fixtures, control the light with flags and rags, and make adjustments when the camera moves around for the coverage. Every step of the way, Neil explains what he’s doing and why, as well as the alternatives you could consider for your own films. Each module concludes with the final edited scene so that you can see the end result.
Who this course is for:
- Cinematography students
- Camera operators looking to move up to Director of Photography
- Corporate/industrial filmmakers looking to move into drama
- Indie filmmakers looking to increase their production values

Thank you to Neil and his team for a fantastic course that gives a real insight into the thought process of a cinematographer.

Jake Teresi –
Really worthwhile. I’m not even a cinematographer — I’m an aspiring writer/director who wanted to better communicate with future d.p.s and know what goes into various lighting set-ups and what is practical and achievable with time/budgets. Neil more than delivered and made it all feel accessible. I’m much less intimidated by lights after his 4 hour course.

Great teacher, but the footage from the scene camera (bm ursa 4.6k) is quite terrible if honestly speaking. Blown out highlights and really bad colors. Don’t know why it is like that…
Neville Phillip –
Clear and precise instructor. He explains everything in a straight forward manner.
Radu Sablerolle –
