Digital Video Lighting

Digital Video Lighting

Without a proper lighting plan and an understanding of how different types of light appear on digital video, your movie or project can suffer greatly. The human eye is extraordinarily adept at taking in light, filtering it, and balancing the colors in the resulting image. Video and film cameras are not so adept and require the skills of lighting technicians to capture balanced images.

Sunlight, fluorescent lights, and various filament lights all accentuate different ranges of the color spectrum. Moving from one source to another can change the color composition of your shots. This can be addressed by attaching filters (or gels) to your camera lens and adjusting the white balance of your digital video camera. With a little practice, a skilled cameraperson will get the feel for it.

The people at dvDepot have many years of experience working in the digital format and can help you master the basics. They can also provide you with experienced lighting and camera crews who can help you get the shots that you want. Different cameras also handle white balance, exposure, and low light levels with varying acuity, and dvDepot can show you the differences.

If you have any questions about lighting for digital video, developing a lighting design, or about digital video in general, feel free to contact dvDepot at 212-333-5100. You can also email Pete@dvDepot.com or stop by dvDepot's new midtown offices at 251 West 39th Street in NYC. They will happily give you a free demo of a high-quality, digital video camera or two.
