I have a second question related to the one around the 26 min mark: What is the difference in shot assignment/workload for a junior lighter versus a senior lighter? I would guess that senior lighters tend to be assigned the more important shots in a film (i.e., the Hiccup and Toothless first touch moment vs Hiccup just walking through the woods). But beyond that, are junior lighters more specifically told what is wanted/have a senior lighter oversee what they are doing, whereas senior lighters are given more free reign?
You pretty much nailed it. Senior artists are given more difficult/unique lighting challenges. Maybe areas of the environment that haven't been explored before. Juniors tend to be given easier shots and "same-as" shots. An example would be a conversation between two characters. A lead/senior artist might light the first one and then a junior would light all the other shots by copying that light rig and making subtle tweaks based on each shot. There is always a bit of difference from studio to studio but this is what I have seen from my experience.
Omg guys I've read your amazing book and now landing on your video complety by chance iam so glad thank you sooo much for all your work This is amazing for me as a lighting student (1 year left to go haha!) Thanks again i'll not miss one single video of yours 💫
@@IGarrettI If you want our students to light them for you, send them over! If you have some cool models, we could make it one of the monthly lighting challenges! headmasters@academyofanimatedart.com
This is really helpful, thank you so much for every single second that you spent on this tutorial.

fantastic! What was the software you used to present lighting scenarios ?
Thank you!!! The software we used in this presentation was Nuke and Maya
@@AcademyOfAnimatedArt I just looked into compositing passes and oh lord what a rabbit hole X.X
@@IGarrettI That's how we roll! Can't be a lighter without compositing :)
@@AcademyOfAnimatedArt I'm just trying to make my models present nicer 😅 but I can see lighting artist being a blast
