Using too much of the same color light as your subject can
cause your subject to appear “washed out.” This
can create problems and delays for your editors, or ruin the
scene altogether. Use contrasting colors in makeup and
lighting to bring out the best in your subject.
When possible, make sure your lighting crew have live camera
monitors. Your production will be better if your lighting
crew can see what the camera sees, not just what their naked
eye sees.
Working with Anna Maria Horsford was fun! Incredible actress, great personality.
