Customized
lighting seminars
presented by Mark Stucker

Training
The Advanced
Lighting Techniques seminar is for video
professionals with experience. As part of this seminar I
consult with you and your staff beforehand to determine
lighting situations & problem areas on which to focus.
During a one day seminar, typically comprised of four 90-120
minute sessions, I will discuss the defined areas and
demonstrate lighting techniques in a hands-on interactive
workshop with your lighting equipment.
The
primary emphasis in this training is on learning skills that
get the lighting up quickly, while still allowing for
creativity and attention to detail. Efficient techniques,
film-style lighting design and ideas for developing the
eye are all part of this workshop. Also discussed are the
latest technical books, and sources for advanced workshops
around the country.
Ideally
you can combine this seminar with one of your scheduled
production dates to follow. This allows your staff and I the
opportunity to work directly together applying theory and
their new skills within the constraints and demands of an
actual shoot.
Consultation
As
part of the seminar, consultation is available regarding your
department's existing lighting and production equipment. I
can make prioritized recommendations for future purchases
based on your departments direction and need. Your
staff will also be introduced to rental sources of
state-of-the-art lighting & grip equipment available for
those bigger and less frequent production needs. If you have
specific ongoing or upcoming productions, I can consult on
their lighting design as well.
Focus
Areas
These
are areas to choose from as starting points of discussion.
The first module of the four is required as an overview of
production basics and process.

The
Seminar
The
Advanced Lighting Techniques seminar is an investment that
will improve the quality and aesthetics of the work your
department will produce. Call for scheduling or for more
information on how this program can be further customized to
meet your department's needs.
University
Level Lighting Instruction
The
Advanced Lighting Techniques seminar can also be customized
to teach instruction in university settings. Rather than
teach to a broad generalized group I would prefer to focus
with a specialized class where in-depth lighting skills and
knowledge are needed to supplement the university
instructor's curriculum.
