Thanks Sidd, Bob, and Steve
The book sounds like a good resource. I have been using effects such as the spotlight and the ambient light, and they have been helpful. But I find my use of them is clumsy and very much trial and error. I am hoping that there is a video that would go through all the lighting effects and explain things such as the major and minor radius, angle, etc for the lights and also things like surface material and bump. Basically, I am trying to improve some videos that were underexposed in the foreground, with strong backlighting, Ideally, I'd like to dim the backlight and brighten the people in the foreground. But I'd like to know what the potential for all the lighting effects is and I learn best by watching how it is done.
