1
My name is Charu Clark and I'm a lighter at Pixar.
2
I wanted to tell you about some of the lighting techniques we use in our films,
3
but first we should clarify something that confuses a lot of people, including my parents.
4
Computer animated films use lights and lighters just like any other film.
5
In a live-action set like this one,
6
everything you see is illuminated by some kind of light source.
7
If there's no light, you don't see anything.
8
It's exactly the same in our films.
9
The difference is that our lives are virtual digital lights,
10
just like the characters and the virtual camera.
11
This means that we do get complete control over the light,
12
which is super cool, because we use light to evoke very specific mood
13
and story points in every single shot in the One critical
14
aspect of lighting in our films is choosing the light intensity and size.
15
A larger light will create a softer,
16
more diffuse image, softer shadows,
17
whereas a harsher, more focused light source can create more tension in a shot.
18
Another very critical aspect of light is its color,
19
which is measured in temperature.
20
A cooler, bluer light can create a cold feeling,
21
feeling, whereas a warm, soft,
22
more orange light can create a friendlier, open atmosphere.
23
Another technique is the directionality of light,
24
where you put the light in the scene.
25
A front-lit character can appear more open and approachable.
26
A character who's backlit can appear dark and dangerous.
27
A bottom-lit character can appear spooky.
28
If they're top-lit, they can feel like they're being interrogated.
29
We use all of these lighting techniques heighten both the look and the emotional aspect of a shot.
30
Here, for example, are some shots from Incredibles 2.
31
You'll notice we use two very different lighting setups.
32
In the first instance, Violet approaches Tony and realizes he has forgotten about their date and barely remembers her.
33
Now this is a very common scene,
34
a long, sterile hallway with a lineup of lockers.
35
The light sources are blue overhead fluorescent lights that makes the hallway feel like a sterile,
36
almost hospital-like environment and makes the audience feel unsettled and uncomfortable,
37
similar to what Violet is feeling.
38
Now contrast this with later in the film,
39
where Violet and Tony interact in a stairwell at school.
40
It's a happier moment and the two of them make a new connection.
41
The main light source is a warm and soft outdoor sun filtering in through the trees.
42
The lighting feels friendly, in keeping with the emotional state of the character.
43
That's the emotional story point and we want to feel it in every aspect including the lighting.
