This episode of 4MFS is out of this world, meaning that we’re diving into lighting for sci-fi realms. We’re going a little more stylistic than previous episodes in the past, but only because creating a world that is supposed to be different from Earth requires a different way of thinking about light. We wanted the atmosphere to be even warmer than regular sunlight and to emphasize the foliage of the planet by using spotlights with leaf gobos. Valentina made sure the production design on this one really stood out with tube lights and practicals, and Moses even brought a special tool to ramp up this scene even more.
