@tomochef1967 I didn't know the van part when I made the demo, Paul. That's why my shadow, although similar, is a tad softer. A van would mean much shorter distances/smaller lights/sharper shadows. KINDA LIKE THE VIDEO I GUESS.

Ok, Imma explain the admiral neck shadow thing. (Spoilers: it's not a rubber mask, ya weirdos)... 🧵

@tomochef1967 There’s no one else on that “set”. He was reportedly in a remote van. Exactly the sort of cramped environment where you’d rig such a weird setup with smaller lights.

...Added together, they end up as barely passable face lighting. Except, in this case, on the neck. The shirt collar cuts the fill light, creating a little window of top-only light casting that chin shadow. The top edge moves with the collar, the bottom with the talking jaw. /🧵

[Captain Disillusion @CDisillusion]

...So, lazy no-good news studio gaffers might stick a bottom fill light below the subject to counteract the top-heavy key. On its own, it's doing something like this. (Note how the angle causes the slightly flared shirt collar to cast a shadow upward)... 🧵

Oh yeah, I never shared the intern's TREACHERY on here. He's so fired. https://t.co/NPbchrGauN

A space captain steering his ship into a nebula?
Typical 🙄

@Jason_Starnes Oh dang, sorry

[Captain Disillusion @CDisillusion]

Hey everyone, this is Intern Alan. I had to wait 'till the Captain logged back on here & left the screen unattended in a boomer way, to finally share the results of @OpenSauceLive my quest. They are as follows.......🧵

[Captain Disillusion @CDisillusion]

Find me at @OpenSauceLive ... before Captain Disillusion does! -Intern Alan

[Captain Disillusion @CDisillusion]

Ok, the Captain will probably forget his password again so idk when, if ever, I'll be able to get back on, but just wanted to share for posterity. There are some bonus pics on a diff website. Oh crap, he's waddling back in! Gotta go--
