8 WEEK CLASS: NOVEMBER 2025

One Big Beautiful Light: Introduction/Home

LET’S TALK ABOUT LIGHT:
SATURDAY, 11-29-25

 

WEBINARS

Our webinars are going to be an hour or so, and we want to explore your work, evaluate it, and help you see what works, what doesn’t, and how to recreate it on call.

UPLOAD ETIQUETTE

I will give you a specific number of images to upload. Please try to stay within that number of shots. I also want to see behind the scenes shots that show what you did. This may take more than two or three images to do, but try to let us see exactly what you did.

RECORDED MEETINGS

All of our meetings are recorded for you, and this page will exist forever, or until SMOD wipes us all out while we are sleeping. The videos are usually up on the same day, on the same workshop page. However, it may take a couple of days, but never later than Monday following the class.

BUILD YOUR SCRIM

We will be using a scrim for some of our lighting.
I need you to build one if you do not have one.
