Study is the short answer

30 Mar 01:31

Amit Dutta

Zoom out a lot when working on values and read and comp...or have an overview window/navigator open at all times

30 Mar 01:30

Hobitt

i guess thats what im asking how to accurately light something

30 Mar 01:30

Amit Dutta

The thing is the foreground is accurately lit, and he uses value and shape of the ocean to frame, as compositional element more than anything "realistic"

30 Mar 01:29

Hobitt

i guess jsut keeping the light and dark parts of the object separate

30 Mar 01:29

Amit Dutta

Like a giant T shape dragging us down into the comp

30 Mar 01:28

Hobitt

i guess im trying to understand how to get an illusion of light in picture

30 Mar 01:28

Amit Dutta

The black of the ocean is so unrealistic, but it frames all the action

30 Mar 01:27

Amit Dutta

It's a strong compositional push

30 Mar 01:27

Amit Dutta

Zoom way out on the image...tell me what you see

30 Mar 01:26

Amit Dutta

Ah, well, that black coat, and his head actually links the top band of dark ocean into the rest of the light

30 Mar 01:26

Hobitt

or im way overthinking it

30 Mar 01:26

Hobitt

i guess im asking is there some sort of rule to how calculate value relationships

30 Mar 01:25

Amit Dutta

Hard to know what you're asking

30 Mar 01:25

Amit Dutta

Maybe be a bit more specific?

30 Mar 01:25

Hobitt

i think so...

30 Mar 01:24

Hobitt

how would you go about lighting a black 50%grey and white object in one scene

30 Mar 01:24

Amit Dutta

Have you seen that muddy colors post on value structure?

30 Mar 01:24

Amit Dutta

30 Mar 01:23

Hobitt

30 Mar 01:23

Amit Dutta
