Lighting 101: Direction of Light

This is our second installment of our Lighting 101 series, where Lauren demonstrates seven standard lighting angles you should know when lighting a character for a scene. It's not just about where you point your light-- the angle of your lighting determines where the light falls, and therefore the kind of shadows it creates. These two effects together can have a huge impact on your audience. Have more questions? Ask Lauren directly in our forums! http://j.mp/Lighting101DirectionDiscuss For those interested, the light we used was a Litepanel 1x1 Astra Soft Bicolor. - - - Questions about our sponsors and how they work?
