/diy/ - Do It Yourself

The lighting is over-done to the point it is distracting. You can't just throw a bunch of colored light on people's faces and call it a day.

If you want to study lighting, watch Blade Runner. Despite being dark, it is very purposefully lit. But lights are only half the equation, the camera is the other half. Blade Runner was shot on slow 70mm film. During the indoor shots, the iris is cranked all the way open, which reduces the depth of field, producing an extremely shallow focus that was used to direct direct the audience's eye. (You can tell the camera operators were struggling, operating at the limits of the lenses, but that's what makes Blade Runner so great - everything about the way it was made was pushing the limits.)
