Today, we sit down with Lachlan Milne, ACS, cinematographer behind the award-winning indie classic "Hunt For The Wilderpeople," directed by Taika Waititi. In this video, we break down the lighting in these scenes and talk about how to utilize direct sunlight outside, how to shoot for comedy, and some of the challenges faced when shooting an independent feature film.
