I stumbled across these videos which might be useful for the beginner, and any beginner who's looking to fill in some gaps.

Nice overview. I bought Barry Green's DVD years ago too. That was nice.

Thanks for sharing. Nothing new here, but a nice demonstration video.

Something common sense to one person, might not be common sense to others so you never know when you will learn something.

I know its basic stuff here, but I like how he explains that practical lighting doesn't necessarily mean lighting using practical lamps that might be in a room or more specifically in frame.

There have been a ton of posts on this forum about how to light with just a table lamp beside a couch and after 25 pages of posts it comes down to thinking of the motivation of the light itself, which in turn can help you figure out where to place it when lighting ANY scene.

Anyway I'm quite advanced with my lighting techniques but I'm still learning everyday.
