Jeff Andrew Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hey everyone, I'm trying to re-create this still from King of the Hill as a learning exercise. I attached it below. It seems fairly straight forward but I can't seem to get the key to look right. I used a charlie bar and two Dedo 150's for the background and that looked ok but the eyelight kick and the key i'm struggling with. Thoughts? Diagrams? Thanks so much!

Judging by the size of the reflection, it's neither a point source or a large soft light, so probably something in-between like a paper lantern.

I tried it with a paper lantern and it worked very well. Now just to shape it a bit more and get the shadows looking correct... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
