COVID-19 Note: Casey and Ted both tested negative prior shooting this episode. Our two camera operators wore masks and face masks to prevent any additional exposure. If you are following any of these steps though, we can’t emphasize it enough: please be safe and responsible.

Cinematographer Casey McBeath joins Ted Sim in the studio to setup some of the softest lighting Hollywood has to offer. We discuss the factors that contribute to softer lighting and we demonstrate two of the best lighting setups that famous cinematographers, like Roger Deakins, use – the book light and the cove light.
