An Earth Friendly Lighting Kit (And How To Use it)

20 October 2009

Green Screen Toronto will be again co-presenting a workshop at the Planet in Focus International Environmental Film and Video Festival, being held in Toronto October 21-26, 2009.

Filmmakers can now consider treading a smaller environmental footprint; such as shooting on compact flash cards (rather than film or videotape), effectively utilizing portable notebooks to reduce the consumption of paper and using lighting fixtures that draw lower wattage (LED and Flouro). This workshop will explore new innovative lighting fixtures and a portable lighting kit comprised of just such fixtures.

Lance Carlson will also demonstrate how to use the fixtures in innovative and creative ways to accomplish professional results. He will show several new LED products as well as demonstrate how to light an interview or small set with these fixtures assembled in the kit.

This workshop will be held at the Bata Shoe Museum on Friday, October 23 between 10:00am - 12:00pm. Cost of the workshop is $20 and to pre-register phone 416-531-4689 or email greenscreen@planetinfocus.org
