What I'd give to be able to

I love old school films.. and the main big reason behind this is.. the lighting....
From independents, to film noir, to the mgm dance classics.. I drool just looking at how lighting is handled in such genres.. and the faces of the time complimented it so well.. my dream one day is to be able to light people like this on set...
There are some modern masters who to this day still do great work with on set and location lighting









I get goose bumps just from watching old mgm films like this
