To be honest, I've only used actual lighting correctly once, and that was a couple weeks ago. But after seeing the difference, I was stunned.
http://nofilmschool.com/2015/11/lighting-like-vermeer-create-cinematic-depth-lighting After that day, I've been interested in lighting a lot of my work, although it's quite expensive for a whole kit. This article shows how to light things correctly and show depth in this 2 dimensional field we work in. "Cinematography is basically painting with light -- and painting ain't no easy task." Although it may look easy in the video, when using actual lights, I was astounded by how much of a difference dimming a light ever so slightly made. This article talks a lot about this depth-style lighting, which was first started in the film industry in 1940s film noirs, even though they were black and white. Showing depth on a 2D screen can (literally) make things pop. Although I can't completely relate to the author's love of Vermeer, who I truly don't know about, they did a good job in writing, but it would have been nice if the article went more in depth on what the video talked about, instead of just saying that they liked the video. Lighting is truly an art in the film world, when done correctly.
