Hello everyone. I?m going to shoot a short movie in two weeks...a few scenes in the morning, afternoon and night. I?m not sure if someone can give me some advise on a lighting pattern, maybe a detailed website with tutorials....thanks all.

Here is a good web article that describes some basic cheap lighting:

Also, check out lighting basics (3 point lighting) here:

Hope this helps.

just some basic lighting advice: go with whatever you think looks nice within the context of your story.

Thanks for the websites Dan, they were very helpful and Airwalk, yeah I pretty much know what feeling and atmosphere I want to play with, I kind of know the basics of lighting and the imagery, but I?ve never tried this. Thanks to all.
