In this episode, DP/Host Kevin Reyes shows us how he builds two-tone lighting, using a cool and warm tone to saturate the frame with visual interest. Not only does he play with a traditional color combination for our interior night club scene, but he changes the color scheme of the lights in place to show you how it affects the mood of the scene. On top of that, he delves into steadicam movement, soft light, and why production design matters so much when it comes to cinematography.
