“Tim Jones has been at
blur for over 2 years now and in that short time he's
become a studio leader and one of our "go to" guys for lighting. He has
both a technical understanding of how light works and a critical artistic
eye; both skills are needed in Blur's work environment
where an artist may
be called upon to do photoreal shots one week and light
hearted cartoons the next. Tim is able to solve ANY lighting problem that
we throw at him
with ease, coming up
with great looking solutions every time.”
- Tim Miller
Creative Director, Blur Studio

In this DVD, after setting
up various production lighting rigs, Tim discusses the pros
and cons of each solution. You will learn when to use one type
of rig over another based on the goals of the project, as well
as how to deal with the challenges that different scene elements
create for your lighting setups. Tim will also show you how
to render passes out of 3ds Max, composite them using Digital
Fusion and set up your lighting in real-time using floating
point image formats. Finally, you will learn how to set up
a scene for multiple lighting scenarios including day, sunset
and night shots.
Over 2 1/2 hours of lecture.
