Blogathon 11/14 – lights, camera, bugger

The Video Shorts project I’ve been working on has hit an interesting snag.

I’d sketched out a background for the scene (it’s a series of sketches against a single setting), and worked it up to a full-size model.

Then I coloured – by hand (I wanted the ‘rough’ look, this is a project for an audience of young children) – the background.

And it all went well.

Or so I thought.

The problem came when I set the scene (easy) and lit it.

Yep.

That’s when it became apparent that. under studio lighting, the subtlety of the colours I’d used washes right out of the picture.

So it’s back to the drawing board.

There’s two courses of action, I think.

I either need to modify the colours so they’ll resemble what I’m aiming for under studio light.

Or, of course, I use green screen?

Hmm.
