A lighting breakdown of my 2 favourite scenes I lit on the Saturday Night Live Title Sequence @snluk
Realistic but stylised lighting often requires much more than simply putting up a few lights and calling it a day.
My aim throughout both of these was to intentionally accentuate the expectation of how these environments naturally "feel" - but with control, predictability and a little flourish.
Fixtures that helped bring this to life:

Saturday Night Live UK Title Sequence @snluk
A very hectic but fun few days earlier this year lighting the title sequence for @snluk - filled with its own set of challenges and problem solving.
Multiple setups across a few days inside central, with fixtures big and small.
Absolutely a1 team on this one.

@fifaworldcup x @supersporttv x @idriselba
TVC for the 2026 World Cup aired across 100+ countries. I got the call the day before this was due to shoot and we had to scrabble together a base plan which became fully fleshed out on the day.
Large toppy key, offside booklight for shape and multiple tubes rigged top back for subtle backlights.

@urbanautomotive 's latest drop for their Urban Apparel line.
The location was a disused aerospace factory - complete with wind tunnels, warehouse space and large concrete facades.
I leant on hard light, high contrast ratios and lots of shadows to highlight the texture and scale of the space, with large soft directional sources on talent to capture detail on clothing.

@mhuncho ft. @sosocamo - "Wild n' Free"
Multiple rigged spotlights, plenty of previs reference images and large 12x12 muslins made this possible. Working off the VFX images, I had to light space and talent to fit seamlessly within the set extensions planned in post; leaning into high contrast ratios and silhouettes to cement the look.

@frenchthekid1 - "Ghosts"
I've been a fan of French for several years so when the call came to light one of his videos I was right there.
Simple 2 scene video; the interior relied on a slighty warm soft key with a cooler specular edge on key side to add texture whilst keeping shape, accentuated with left side neg, tungsten temp tubes for hair lights and a hard cool source pushing through the exterior window.
Exterior car scene was a 4x2 matt for the key, tubes and MC's for the car interior and a cold blue hard backlight.

“Wizard of Oz” @mhuncho
The interiors relied on multiple litemats, tubes and a large booklight for the dinner scene, with the sunset exterior utilising a 1200x to “wrap” the existing sun to maintain shape. Great time working on this with RedMoons!

@jaysilvaaa x @tionwayne - "Falling For You"
The exteriors involved getting a 1200x up a ladder onto the roof for main key during the rain, with performance shots captured in the very brief window where it let up.
Interiors relied on multiple 600c units and a 4x2 litemat for room tone, shape and edges.
Had a great time working on this and everyone was a joy to work with.

@xo.co.uk - "Candy"
Despite how large the space looks on camera, the combination of camera placement and space requirements for dance choreography meant lighting had to simultaneously light talent evenly across frame, provide shape but also provide flattering softness and have a small footprint.
Key fixtures were a Litemat 4L boomed far right, a Litemat 2L near right and a double diffused 600c top centre.
A 2nd 600c pushed through the back left door as a "daylight" backlight, and for visual interest 2x 1200xs outside on the rear windows.
Big thanks to the sparks @amelia.alexandra_films and @redwine_film for their graft on the day.

@pinkpantheress - "Close To You"
Lighting in a full green screen has its own set of challenges - the main ones being how to cement talent into the CGI scenes via lighting, without being able to see the environment in real life.
I worked off some previs images to motivate soft, hard and textured lighting based on the CGI environments talent would be in, utilising Litemats, 60cs and spotlights with foliage for texture.

"Call Me Back" - @pete_and_bas x @raggatwinsofficial
The pictures sent to me for the phone shop painted the picture of somewhere cramped - but with enough space to hide a few lite panels and tubes.
When we got to the shop it was significantly smaller than expected so I had to get creative and squeeze in lights where I could and carefully control the existing light inside the shop to help create depth and shape.
