Bouncin Light

This Article/Video was about how to bounce and reflect light for your shots, to provide the best lighting possible. The first point he makes is directing your light a little bit off screen, to make your lighting seem more natural. But then he brings in the reflector. Now with the reflector in play, the light is now not the actual light source. Kind of like the sun rays bouncing off the moon, to provide light at night. he shows how you can position the reflector and adjust the light, to provide the best lighting for your shot possible. And the last point made is how you can aim the light at the ceiling to make a more natural look in your shot. I thought this article was pretty useful, especially for film students. While watching it, I was wondering if maybe I could create some of the techniques digitally in Maya. But I don't know if it would work that well. But never the less, I thought the video was very interesting in creating different ways to light your scene.

  1. I'm having the same issue. I song think bouncing a light in Maya would be as effective as simply modifying a light to your needs.
