Thanks, MovieSnob LinkMonkey™! Have a peanut!

Here's one for all you not-yet-famous movie makers. As briefly as possible, lighting is essential in effective filmmaking. Like in all visual art, lighting sets the tone, be it blatently—like in classic Hollywood film noir with its German expressionist lighting—or imperceptibly, such as the flat, practical lighting in David Fincher's work.

Pouty cinematographer Rob Ellis here shows how to use a fill (secondary) light to your advantage. Of course, Mr Ellis is also trying to sell you on his master course in…forgive me, I've forgotten…but in any case it's an effective basic-level lighting tutorial.
