The Business of Lighting - Genius And All

One of the things that gets me is when someone who has three production trucks, a star trailer, a Musco lighting rig, and six assistants puts together a project, and then expects the masses to snatch their video's off the shelf. Sure, they may sell a bit, but what people - especially those starting out - really need, is a hands-on real world (for most of us) demonstration of how to make lighting work, sans the AD, DOP, or best boy.

Enter my friend and colleague David Hobby, who has produced an amazing set of DVD's that aren't all slick and glamourous, and they're not supposed to be. While Chase Jarvis has shared with the masses how he rolls (helo's, Ninja's, and all), and I've shared with you what we use and why, and how we pack it, David is giving you the best how-to around. I've had the pleasure of watching David at work (among other things, we covered Ronald Reagan's funeral together) and his skill at getting in, getting the shot, and getting out, is a sight to behold.

Thus, it's worth the $139 he's selling the DVD's for. Trust me on this one. Spend the dough and be enlightened. His this link to get yours now, and this link to see what David's saying about it, and several teaser bits to entice you if, for some crazy reason, you're on the fence!
