Expertly craft night exteriors for rural and urban lighting!

  • 5 Lessons
  • 1+ hours of instructional videos

How To Light Night Exteriors is a masterclass in cinematically capturing the night in multiple settings. Whether it’s urban lighting in the film Fathers and Daughters, minimal rural lighting as seen in We Are Marshall, or lighting rain at night in the series Into the Badlands, Shane Hurlbut, ASC takes his methods and puts them to action! That way, you can see for yourself how such techniques are professionally applied! 

This masterclass begins with the first stroke, taking you through the location scouting process and answers all of your burning questions from what fill lights to use, bounce sources to fly, best moonlight sources, and how to set your camera’s color temperature to deliver that silver-gray moonlight we all know and love!
