Lee Marvin on lighting. (random out of the air post).

Random splrug post, but a good take on how to light a scene.

Kidding... Lee Marvin was great. About lighting.... I've seen some films/games pull it off brilliantly. Other's not so much. One scene that comes to mind (don't remember from what) played with light and really dark shadows from a window to illuminate only their eyes and perhaps their mouth a little. It really gave the scene a whole new level of intensity. Think it was an Alfred Hitchcock film.

 

Personally prefer a higher contrast and a little less gamma in my games as well since I think it helps with depth and clarity. Also think most games could benefit from less exposure- both where imaging is concerned and possibly in other senses to a degree...
