Setting up the lights


Every scene in my animation will have quite dim lighting, however what the lighting on the set looks like to me is not what it looks like from the camera, so I have had to set the lights up quite bright and then they come through looking quite dark. This took some fiddling to get it looking how I wanted it to look but I'm happy with how each set has turned out. 
I also had to work out where I wanted the light source. I used a big LED light on quite a low setting to give the basic lighting so that the set was visible in the camera, and then used one or two little Dedo lights to highlight the characters/ act as windows or doors in the tower room set.

I tried to give the lights a nice warm glow using the settings that they offer. This is because the scenes were pretty much all meant to be lit by candle or fire, with the exception of the woods in the castle set.
