Vedran Rupich Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 If you look a bit into the clip you will see a guy in front of a wall. He seems to have a spotlight on him and everything else just looks completely "vignetted". Is there a name for this style, how is it done? Is it just a head on spotlight? Sorry for the bad reference, I know I have seen this in other vids but I couldn't pinpoint what to call it. Best regards, Vedran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Kieran Scannell Posted September 16, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted September 16, 2007 Hi Vedran, You need to post your full name, It's a requirement of this forum. I think this style of lighting is the "Ive forgotten to post a link so that people can see what I'm referring to" kind of style. Although i could be wrong! Kieran.

Premium Member Chad Stockfleth Posted September 16, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted September 16, 2007 i'll venture a guess: is it like some scenes in "eternal sunshine of a spotless mind"? if so, then yes, it is just a light, either mounted to the camera or handheld by someone.

Vedran Rupich Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 Sorry about the name, It's been a while... Had no idea it had become a Real-Name forum, which is great by the way. And as well, sorry about the missing link, didn't mean to upset anyone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RYuuAHtJh8 Anyways, this is the lighting style I was talking about. Kindest Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Bowerbank Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Don't think it's an on-camera light, since we can see the spot moving independently of the camera's movement. It's probably just a snooted fresnel, just off to the side of the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted September 17, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted September 17, 2007 It's just a spotlight on someone, either a light with a snoot or a diffused follow-spot like a Leko, but with the circle edge thrown out of focus. But it looks more like a snooted lamp to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vedran Rupich Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 Allright, Thanks Jonathan and David. I figured it had to be a snooted fresnel, wasn't certain though. I have plans to use this lightning style for an upcoming shoot. The thing is that the background will be white, or more exactly, Specular/Glossy white. Is this doable? How much distance would I need from the object and the wall? Is there gonna be a whole lot of flagging? Can I achieve this spotlight look with all the ambient light the backwall will generate? Any inputs? Kindest regards, Vedran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
