IMMERSIVE LIVE LIGHTING: LED POWERED NIGHT CINEMATOGRAPHY
Presented by Nanlux/Nanlite
“How do you light the night?” It’s a fundamental question, and mastering night exteriors is a career-defining skill. In these special sessions pulled directly from our popular Night Cinematography Masterclass, Shane will guide attendees through his cutting-edge approach to LED lighting for night scenes.
Witness Shane’s signature Moonlight Theory come to life in a fully interactive Moonlight LAB. This is far more than just a lecture — it’s a hands-on experience. In this immersive demonstration, audience members will get the chance to jump in and crew with Shane in real-time, participating in lighting builds and on-the-fly scene breakdowns.
You’ll leave equipped with practical tools, a deeper understanding of lighting with intention, and the creative spark to elevate your own night cinematography. As Shane says, “I’m going to change how you look at night.”
