Don’t Learn Lighting


3D artists want to get good at lighting, so they go to learn lighting from tutorials telling them how to light to make their render look good.
(It usually involves a Key, Fill, and a f-tonne of Rim.) 

Nothing wrong with that. The render usually looks great! It usually also looks quite a lot like a render. 

That’s how you end up with “the CG look”.

But isn’t this a course about lighting?

Well… Yes but, more importantly, no. KiNO Vibes is a course about Light.

What it says in a scene. What it means. How it makes you feel, and how to wield it.

Not just using it to show your snazzy work, but to tell the story you want.

Learn
THIS INSTEAD


In this course, lighting is the last thing you’ll learn (though you will learn it), because that’s the easy part. Here’s what comes first:

  • How to see and think about a 3D scene like a Director of Photography does a film scene.

  • How to make choices about light and dark that tell the story how you want people to experience it. 

  • How to create depth within the frame and imply story and a world beyond the frame

  • How to wield light and colour to play the heartstrings of your viewer.

Lighting is the final step of that process.

Greetings, I’m Daniel.

I started learning 3D back in 2009, not because I love poking vertices around, but because I love film, and I wanted to make better movies with my friends. (And “better” obviously meant with more explosions and car crashes.)

Since then I’ve moved up a bit… 

I’ve collaborated with industry heavyweights like The Mill, Saatchi & Saatchi, and Leo Burnett, working with some very cool brands and artists along the way.

In 2016 I started spreading the love of Motion Design through my YouTube channel, by now having infecting over 1 million people, and launched my first course, The Process of Motion, in 2020.

But even with nearly two decades of experience…

I ain’t no Sir Deakins.

You know who is, though? Sir Roger Deakins. Read on…

When you learn,
learn from the best 


KiNO Vibes is an odyssey through a hundred years of award-winning cinematography. We learn from legendary Directors of Photography by breaking down their most iconic work, seeing how they made it and understanding why they made it that way.

Wherever possible we hear straight from the cinematographers own words via interview, commentary, behind the scenes, and archival footage. 

Then we bridge the gap to the third dimension with four iconic scenes faithfully reconstructed in 3D. We take what we’ve learned and recreate the lighting from scratch ourselves.

Along the way we’ll learn how traditional cinematography applies to CGI, and where CGI lets us conjure light and dark from thin air in ways that would make any gaffer lick their lips.

ONE LAST THING…


KiNO Vibes is in early access. This is a growing course. Everything listed is what ships first, but that’s not where it stops.

Next up: Four more full scene recreations, twelve more lighting breakdowns, and the assets and time-lapses to go with all of it.

But I won’t pretend I can guarantee a timeline for any of it. (You can thank my newborn twins for that one; a very adorbs handful.)
