How to Get Over Heartbreak (2018)

A Studio-22 Short-film

As the Gaffer on How to Get Over Heartbreak, I was responsible for designing and executing the lighting setups that aligned with the director’s and cinematographer’s vision. Collaborating closely with the Director of Photography, I ensured the lighting enhanced the emotional tone and aesthetic of the film. My work involved:

• Overseeing the lighting crew and managing on-set rigging of fixtures.

• Developing creative solutions to achieve both naturalistic and stylized lighting designs, depending on the scene's narrative requirements.

• Utilizing tools and techniques to balance practicality with artistry, ensuring seamless transitions between setups.

• Adapting to the challenges of dynamic shooting schedules while maintaining visual continuity.

The role required technical expertise, teamwork, and problem-solving to ensure the lighting enriched the storytelling while adhering to production deadlines.
