Filming Riddick in a very wide space with a very low ceiling -- while creating the look of a single sun / single light source.
How is it possible? With reflectors apparently. Video timestamped.
Can anyone explain to me why this works?
How do a bunch of different reflectors work together to produce a single directional shadow?
And is there anywhere else that reflectors really shine?
What other specific use cases do reflectors address that a light bulb cannot?
the other use case I'm aware if is that if you use a key light and a fill light you risk getting TWO catch lights in your subjects eyes.
Here is an example of it, it looks BAD, look at this dudes weird eyes with the two lights in it.
