What are some good lighting videos..

I am bored with everything I have ever seen.. its just basic lighting techniques that you would learn on your first day in a shitty community college film class..

Im looking for videos about different set ups cinematographers have used.
I like seeing different ideas put into action..
not just key fill back and top..
 
You know there was a series of ASC DPs giving workshops but I can't locate them now. They were pretty good with the usual suspects from the ASC and decent in length and content.... I'll keep looking....

There really aren't any great videos out there....

Have you read the book "Reflections"?
 
 
The best videos (that don't exist) would IMHO, just be a doc crew visiting working sets and presenting the real deal. From actual sets and real world scenarios.

You can have your interviews detailing everything from the lighting to why, how, everything is being done. I imagine the video version to David Mullen's, ASC "Manure" thread...

Problem is getting this to happen on the day in a real environment. I'm shooting a feature in Aug in LA area...
 
There was a similar request on Roger Deakins website today. I believe an informative DVD from a quality DP would sell well. How about it Dave?

Until then, thanks Shawn for the links.
 
THANKS Shawn now i have to spend $500.00
But such great stuff im ordering it ALL.
 
Maybe the lighting workshops up at the Media Workshops in Rockport, ME. That would be great for hands on training. The Kodak series might be great too. I've never seen it, but was always intrigued. There's nothing like watching someone light in the moment, seeing how they approach a scene, the decisions that are made based on a variety of factors. The happy accidents that can happen. Seeing a DP throw out the planned lighting scheme and trying something different. A lot can be learned observing good DPs on a set. But second best would be a class or a DVD that is well constructed and gives you as much insight into the whole process as possible.
