How to Recreate The Sun is a masterclass for cinematographers and gaffers that guides you through the process from choosing lights, setting your color temperature, and best color correction gels for late afternoon tones to where you should place your sunlight sources, the use of reflector boards, overhead diffusion frames, and the proper negative fill that you should use to make your lights feel natural, cinematic, and real!
