Bryce Stroud Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Just wondering how to achieve an shadow effect like this with lighting: (see below/attachments if theyv worked) Other examples of it, can be seen on the movie Alien and Aliens (its basically where beams/a beam of light is shooting past the subject/object and the subject/object has no light on them) Sorry if this is too simple, jsut curious to how its done :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This question has been asked numerous times. You'll find lots of ideas there. Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Keep the light hard to make things nice and contrasty. Just like the older black and white horrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bright, daylight temperature lamps. I wouldn't mind knowing how xenons compare with HMI's, anyone?

I havn't seen or heard anyone use xenons anymore. I wonder if anyone still rents them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
