The most thorough masterclass on light quality that exists. The kind of approach you won't learn in film school, let alone your first decade on set.

"As cinematographers, we are always looking at light. This is the kind of approach to light quality that you will not learn in film school or even your first decade on set." — Shane Hurlbut, ASC
"Thoroughly enjoyed this masterclass. One of the best I've seen on the platform. So many helpful tips shared, and seeing the before and after is great. Thanks for always sharing your knowledge Shane and team. More of these in this style please."
"This was an amazing masterclass, Shane! I joined the Inner Circle when it first launched and have just signed back on for the Academy after some time away from the industry. These insights are invaluable for the tool kit!"
"Great class as always! Your enthusiasm for the subject makes it so fun to learn from you."
"I've watched the first 40 minutes three times. The Maxi Depron combo is making me an LED believer for the face. This setup is so much easier! Killer masterclass!"
"Just finished. So good. In the future I may be creating a sci fi show and this was inspirational for thinking about how to light, and perhaps using sets instead of real locations for flexibility."
"Great class. Love the Depron foam over the Maxi. Quality of light is spectacular."
