What I learned by living without artificial light
Linda Geddes decided to live for weeks in only candlelight — no bulbs, no screens. Along the way, she discovered simple things that everyone can try to sleep and feel better.
Ten Brighter Ideas? An Explorable Explanation
As with many areas of public interest, the common wisdom surrounding energy conservation consists of myths and legends, rules of thumb and superstitions. We're given guidelines as soundbites, catchy but insubstantial. We trust them blindly, not knowing whether our actions make any significant impact.
LightScript: JavaScript, with cleaned-up syntax and a few conveniences
Developers care about syntax for a reason. Not only is concise syntax faster to read and faster to write, all syntax guides how you write code – for better and for worse. If "the right way" is verbose or awkward, developers too often choose the wrong way.
Set Lighting Technician's Handbook : Film Lighting Equipment, Practice, and Electrical Distribution
A friendly, hands-on training manual and reference for lighting technicians in motion picture and television production, this handbook is the most comprehensive guide to set lighting available. It provides a unique combination of practical detail with a big-picture understanding of lighting, technology, safety, and professionalism, essential to anyone doing motion picture lighting. The fifth edition delves into every aspect of lighting and features vastly expanded sections on controlling LED lights, color science, lighting control systems, wireless systems, Ethernet-based control systems, battery power, and modern set protocol for productions small and large. With a generous number of original images, the book illustrates the use of soft light, the effect of lighting angles, and how the gaffer and DP build an effective lighting plan around the blocking of the actors. This encyclopedic volume of technical knowhow is tempered with years of practical experience and a much-needed sense of humor.This is the ideal text for professional lighting technicians across film and television including lighting directors, gaffers, DOPs, and rigging crews, as well as film and television production students studying lighting, camera techniques, film production, and cinematography.It includes a revamped companion website with supplementary resources, forms, checklists, and images.
