Lighting in the Multiplane


Without lighting there is no picture. In this small workshop it is intended to raise awareness of the potential of lighting manipulation in the creation of the image environment. The multiplane camera allows us to separately and independently illuminate each of the levels, enhancing the creation of contrasts (light/dark). Lighting up a film “set” is often a lot more than merely putting the lights on, or placing the shadows.


Objective

  • The creation of an image to be illuminated and animated.

Recipients

  • All responsible for educational services linked to the image and participants in the II Kino Meeting

Metodologia

Introduction to the workshop and screening of some examples of films that used Multiplane. A small demonstration of the working process for each technical element and lighting up a "set". Two basic Multiplane devices will be available, complemented by a set of 3 or 4 very simple lights (Ikea), a camera and a computer installed with DragonFrame. All participants will be invited to organize themselves into two groups, each one around one of these Multiplane contraptions and will be challenged to create a small Animation using clippings, objects, collages...
Participants will then be challenged to create an image in order to be illuminated and animated.
