Filmmaking 101 with Niles


    Welcome to the course produced by Moment's very own Niles Grey. Having worked for Moment for the last several years he's been a dominant part of the YouTube channel and also helped create some of Moment's most successful Online Courses.

    This course is going to be filled with beginner knowledge as well as intermediate tips and tricks so you can get shooting immediately. After this course, you won't have anything mastered( this isn't a quick fix) but what you will have is foundational knowledge on which to build and grow.

    We'll go over the basics of exposure, camera science, focal lengths, composition, and then dive into the world of lighting, shooting sequences, and even my own personal approach to filmmaking.

      Lighting

      Lighting will make or break your shot. The difference between a beautiful image and a bad image isn't usually the camera or lens but the lighting. Niles breaks lighting in an approachable way that you can take with you and use on your next shoot.
