How To Light a Car: Urban Night & Moonlight is our groundbreaking course that takes the fear out of lighting night exteriors while in motion. Shane Hurlbut, ASC unveils how to light at night in a city setting with exterior lighting sources such as metal halide lights, and then shows how to create moonlight in rural settings and manicure it.
Illuminating the dark while making it feel natural is one of the most important lighting techniques a cinematographer can learn to master. Shane guides you through how he creates, crafts, manicures, and pulls off the perfect environment for an urban night car scene. With step-by-step guidance focusing on the hit Action/Adventure film Need for Speed, Shane shows you what lights to use to recreate urban streets, how to engineer realistic light effects, how to collaborate with the colorist, and more!
Then, taking the Netflix hit The Babysitter as a case study, Shane reveals every trick in the book for building perfect moonlight! This includes learning how to set up lights with balanced color temperatures, working with dynamic headlight gags, and understanding DIY lighting effects, among other key techniques!
