    Hi Tom and thank you for stopping by. We hope to start publishing them within the next couple of months. All of the videos should all be published within the next 3-4 months. We’re just in the editing process now. We just wanted to publish a quick blog post and a still photograph as soon as we were done the studio shoot so we could let our readers know to expect some new videos from us shortly!

    This looks great! I’m studying Film Production and Cinematography at the Arts University College at Bournemouth (AUCB) on the south coast of England. I can’t wait to have a resource like this to refer to and learn from.

    How much longer do you think until the first installment will be available?

    Many Thanks!

    I watched the filmmaking Lighting lesson: How to light a small set with only 2 lights video and loved it! I was wondering though what were the lights used in that video? I need to find a basic lights to start practicing with and the results from those lights and how they were used were amazing.
