Lighting workshop with cinematographer from Jurassic Park

I went to a lighting workshop at Mole-Richardson, a premiere lighting facility in Hollywood. They were offering to show CG artists how set lighting is done for different effects so we can imitate those setups in our software. Really enjoyed it. Finally understand how they light cars for ads (pic above). The speaker was the cinematographer who worked Werewolf, Jurassic Park 3 and Hidalgo. It was so amazing how they can make an indoor set look totally like its outside lighting with the right lights and filters. I think real set lighting could be more fun than CG! ha. They let interested people come on fridays to learn in exchange for helping out a bit. Think I found a new hangout : )
