Real world, common sense solutions to everyday shooting situations. Not a regimented “do this, this and this” but encourages trying things and being creative. And don’t worry about having the latest, greatest brand gear that isn’t in the shot. The light and the image it creates is what’s important.
Knowing Victor I can say this is the same person I’ve worked with on set. Easy going, creative and flexible. Well as flexible as you can be when working with 25+ crew, clients and talent solving these same issues day in and day out.

Hey Victor – Jim Eisel recommended your course to me – best $$ I’ve ever spent on a lighting course. You inspire your students (at least me) to get out of the box and think creatively regarding light, and then you show some examples of how that can be done. You offer real world solutions that are in everyone’s price range. Been through it once but this is one class I will watch again – so much packed in a small package. Thanks for sharing your life and your life’s experience with us! Well done Sir, a solid 5 star course for sure.

Good, usable, and relevant information and tips which will improve most shoots you may be doing same day or the next.
Clearly explained methodology and the reasons why, and s pretty cool low-tech, big light solution! Enjoyed the course.

I have a fair amount of lighting experience as a pro photographer who ventured into motion a few years ago, but I did get plenty of ideas of how to get out of my box and stay on the creative side of things instead of getting into ruts. In all, I learned a lot and it was worth my time.
Only negative would be some of the cheesy music. Sw8tching that out with some more modern stock music would help a lot.
Otherwise, worth it!

this “film” is at BEST 20 years old. I understand the concepts may not be too terribly different, but most certainly the equipment has changed DRAMATICALLY. I feel like Mr Roper from Three’s Company was resurrected to shoot has last appearance in 1988… When it started, I thought I missed something, it felt like it had jumped to the middle of the class. Honestly, I feel like someone stumbled upon this high school film class tutorial, edited out all the intro and outro credits, and uploaded it to this site. if this class doesn’t take a massive 180 quickly, I’ll be complaining and requesting a refund….
***UPDATE*** I could have Googled the basics for free, saved 80 minutes and at the VERY least had information that was more recent than the 1990’s!

This is something I was exactly looking for! A lot of practical examples on lightning in different situations, it is hard to get that knowledge anywhere!I bought my self some books but it‘s so hard to go thru all this technical explanations and language and it is much more faster to get most of the important info this way. The equipment is old as the course is from 90ties but the knowledge presented here is timeless! The instructor also shows some examples and gives some tips on how to build cheap lighting solutions using fluorescent energy saving bulbs- I learned a lot, thanks!
Edward –
I very much enjoyed this course. The examples are exactly what I am looking for: How to light quickly, inexpensively and well. Great for any low-budget filmmaker working with a very small crew, like myself.
Thanks for all the great lighting tips!

Kurs jest interesujący ale kręcony chyba w latach 90tych co daje do myślenia czy aby te same zasady stosuje się w teraźniejszości

Lighting equipment may come and go, but the fundamentals stay the same. Great course for a beginner – especially those who’d like to learn how to appreciate and replicate good lighting setups.

This was a great opportunity to learn some amazing practical advice, and at the end get encouraged to shoot and not make excuses. Great Course!
See you all at the Oscars One Day!

The course starts out great but the later lessons aren’t complete or as thorough. The “filming the boardroom” lesson isn’t complete (it stops after a short introduction) and I’d have really liked to have the lesson about filming outdoors with the same length and depth as the studio lesson.
