Jakob Ballinger Gaffer/CEO Lightbridge
Manuel Billeter Director of Photography
Justyn T. Davis Gaffer
Ted Lehane Key Grip
Moderated by Gaffer John Roche

A roundtable discussion on creating mood and emotion in naturalistic lighting. From script to prepro to scouting and execution, we dove into the theory and real world applications of reflected lighting via a wide variety of tools; CRLS, mylars, mirrors, polished floors, and how the room/set itself becomes both a character and a lighting tool. Tasked with getting all the lights off set, Gaffer Justyn Davis and Key Grip Ted Lehane discussed their 6month lighting (r)evolution on Apple TV’s “Dear Edward” and understanding how to work both creatively and efficiently with reflected lighting. Manuel Billeter went into period lighting on HBO’s “Gilded Age” with custom made large CRLS. Jakob Ballinger discussed working with Christian Berger on the feature film “Le Grand Cahier” with limited crew and how CRLS and reflected lighting can be both stupid simple and yet emotionally layered and complex. Gaffer John Roche, founder of Gaffers Salon, moderated the panel.
