Lighting Workshop

Lights are an important part in every composition, through lighting an animation is staged as an important principle to begin, it includes creating a background and setting up a scene. In the other hand lights can also be used to communicate as part of the story (Kerlow, Isaac, and Kerlow, 2000).  Bellow you can see a lighting workshop made by myself, as an example of the use of lights as a thread in the narrative of the story.

This short animation shows how a character jumps from a plane at a first stage a bed and it's next to a window, each time it goes up and down you can see how the lights in this case the sun coming from the window, goes dark and bright depending on character's movement. Finally the window plane results to be  a film stage wall and falls down crushing him.
