Film Set Lighting Presentation from Film Camp 2025

Here’s a presentation that I created for a class entitled “Grip & Electric – Principles and Basics of Film Set Lighting” for the 2025 First Unit Film Camp held by Venture Films and The Academy of Arts in Taylors, SC.

The presentation was the first half of a 2-hour block with the high-school campers, with the second half being a hands-on session getting hands-on with grip equipment and learning some basic principles of on-set safety and use of the equipment.
