I'm wondering how this effect was created, I need to imitate it for a music video this weekend -
You can see the reflection of the light in his sunglasses at 0:07, but I don't recognize it, and it's pretty low res.
I'm thinking of using a small or medium chimera without the front diffusion, and blocking the direct source with some foamcore inside it so it bounces around the silver inside, and becomes a big round silver source, just in front and above the subject.
It's basically making the incident light under key, but creating white reflections (with the right shiny makeup) just on the front of the face, which I understand in principal but not sure how to achieve.
What do you think?
