Reviews

Praise for the Previous Edition: Motion picture lighting is an art. This book will teach you how to play the instruments in a immensely informative and thorough way. In the 30 years since we first worked together, Alan has become a master of light. He has always been the first to embrace new lighting tools and techniques. His wide range of experience through Hollywood features, TV movies, commercials, music and corporate videos of many styles lends depth to his keen observations. This book, like his work, is meticulous, extensive, precise, a luscious read and should be in any cinema student, scholar and technician's library. David Claessen, Director of Photography
