Lighting

Lighting is concerned with the seamless integration of a computer-generated object into a filmed image to make it look as though it was always in shot. We need to ensure the integration is as realistic as possible, so the MPC lighting team scrutinise the colours and directions of all light sources in the real-world scene and replicate them in the virtual world. To help them do this the team all have a keen artistic understanding of the way light behaves in the real world and what makes an image look real as well as beautiful.
