    In our first episode of Film School Friday, Corey and Bill discuss one of the first lessons every DP should learn and that’s what makes a light motivated. Anybody can throw light around on set and cast a shadow, but it takes a keen eye to make light look natural.“The reason a light is motivated is because there is motivation behind it. It’s helping to enhance something that is there in the scene. It does not mean making up light sources that don’t exist in the environment.” - Bill CorneliusLinkshttps://www.infocuspodcast.comGet In TouchFollow In Focus Podcast and our hosts on Instagram: @infocuspod, @austinallen, and @bill.cornelius.Media and other inquiries, please email hello@infocuspodcast.com
