Filmmaking Process

Lighting

Shot Production

Creating effects like reflective surfaces, glowing elements, and dramatic rays, Lighting Artists are an integral part of our storytelling process, using their keen eye to manipulate color and light to emphasize shifts of tone, mood and atmosphere, both subtle and dynamic.

With an understanding of color, contrast, and lighting design, Lighting Artists compose the final lighting of the scene, and assemble the elements of a shot into a complete composite to match the vision of the Director and Production Designer, Director of Cinematography, Lighting, and Lighting Supervisors.

Working from color keys from Visual Development Artists, Lighting Artists draw the audience's eyes and enhance the story though color and light.
