"Hi! My name is Brent Shelly with Expert Village, and we're talking about lighting design today. First, I'd like to talk a little bit about what lighting design is and what lighting designers do. Lighting is really half art and half science. There's an artistic aesthetic to what we do, and there's definitely an scientific part of what we do, since light is ruled by the laws of physics. A lighting designer brings to a particular project, solid technical acumen, in terms of how to get the amount of light that you need, how to use the different light sources to get the effect that you want, how to be able to provide enough life so that people can see to do what they need to do, whatever that may be. If it's a commercial space or residential space. Have a real sensitivity to the mood and the aesthetic of a space and kind of paint with light if you will from an artistic point of view. "
