- Thank you for watching this course on the fundamentals of lighting people. I hope this has helped you see how the real world around you is illuminated and how you can master these elements to make your projects look their best. Remember, regardless of how vast, modern, expensive, or complete your lighting kit is, the most important tool is your eye. By understanding how light works and developing your own tastes for what looks good and looks bad, you can make the most of any lighting situation. What tools you need depends on what you're trying to achieve. There's no prescribed way to light anything. What I've taught you in this course are my techniques that I've developed shooting hundreds of interviews. I hope they serve you well, but they're just a starting-off point. Don't just check all the boxes, making sure you have a keylight, fill light, backlight, et cetera. Ask yourself why something looks good or bad to you and develop your own aesthetic. Take note of the lighting you see…
