    This is a very good enlightening on a well standard cinematic lighting. Through out my years in the industry, I have come across several lighting courses. But, this is different.
    The mixture of basic lighting, and at the same time putting the color complexity in consideration. This is indeed and eye opening, and I love it👌.
