For two days in June 2011 experienced and aspiring filmmakers learned the rapidly fading art of lighting, not by monitor on the fly, but by methodical previsualization before setting up a scene and using one of the oldest and most trusted tools in the cinematographers' kit, the light meter. Award-winning cinematographer Janusz Sikora walked the small, intimate class through the Zone System, originally conceived by photographers Ansel Adams and Fred Archer. Students also learned lighting for interviews, controlling mood with light, and a number of other lighting styles. Sikora has spent years teaching eager students how to apply these classic techniques to projects captured with both film and digital camera systems.
