Not all video shoot locations provide the built-in look of a Hollywood set. In the example below, we added six of our lights to a mostly empty space and strategically composed the shot to create a more interesting look. The name of the game is subtlety. Add splashes of light to walls and floors. Make use of walls of different colors and distances from the camera. If necessary, turn off overhead lights, even unscrewing bulbs not linked to a wall switch. Block outside ambient light. If you want, toss in a background lamp, plant or item connected to the subject material.
