2019 Narrative Lab students visit Automatic Studios

The 2019 Narrative Lab students visited Automatic Studios for a lighting workshop. This workshop was taught by Reel Works alumni Rachel Adkins Alvarez and Jonathan Alvarez. Students learned how to use a basic light kit, the differences between lights, and developed a deep understanding of composition that they could bring back to their own narrative shorts. “Automatic Studios helped me develop my ideas for my scenes while using lighting to bring the best quality.”  - Gabriel Fanelli, 2019 Narrative Lab Student“The Automatic Studios field trip was very fun. Knowing the setting I wanted to have for one of my scenes for my film, I knew it would be difficult in trying to portray it. But after running tests on how the lighting would work, it made me see certain scenes easier and differently.” - Deborah Miller, 2019 Narrative Lab Student
