Methods

How a result is actually made — set-ups, techniques, and the moves behind the look. Added as they earn their keep.

• A three-light set-up, broken down
  One key, one edge, one window. Films by Christian walks a soft cinematic portrait set-up light by light — a feathered Aperture 700x key turned away from its subject for falloff, a Storm ADC edge for separation, and a 1200x window warmed toward sunrise. The method behind the "cinematic" look.
