Lighting for Documentary Interviews In this FREE workshop, we will explore the various lighting techniques and equipment used for documentary-style on-camera interviews. Among the techniques to be demonstrated will be classical three-point lighting, the run and gun, one light interview as well as the available light indoor interview. In addition, we will discuss the different methods of controlling and blocking light in an interview situation. *More details about how to register can be found on the Wokshops’ webpage after Sept. 1st. We are excited to have Warren Gentry of Digital P leading this workshop.

TRIVIA THURSDAY was a test of your knowledge of cinema + ’80s TV.
Question: Which actor broke through on a popular ’80s sitcom, then went on to win Oscars for acting & best picture… for what films?
