MARCH 10 MCA MEETING: OVERCOMING OBSTACLES WHEN LIGHTING LOCATIONS
 
 

Ever get to a location for a shoot and find out there are not enough outlets available?

That you have a giant window to work around?
That the CEO wants to do the shoot in his office and it is teeny-tiny?
 
 
You've shot in a studio where you have complete control over the lighting and the set, but what happens when details are out of your control?
 
 
Join the MCA for our March Meeting and learn how to overcome some of the obstacles when lighting in locations.
 
Our presenters will show us some tricks for lighting for video and still photography.
 
 
David Houlle from Sight & Sound Productions will show us a couple of set-ups for video. Sight & Sound Productions, Inc. has been in business for over twenty prompt and courteous years. David Houlle, owner/operator and a Lighting Director in his own right, has worked in many phases of the business and is experienced at answering and solving your equipment needs allowing you to concentrate on the creative problems of production.
