| * Lighting is the tool to make a 2D image —the frame projected on a screen—appear three-dimensional. To create a convincing three-dimensional image, the subjects and layers of the scene must be separated from each other. This is accomplished with light or color, creating contrasts of light against dark or dark against light, and by strategic placement of lights and color elements. | * Lighting is the tool to make a 2D image —the frame projected on a screen—appear three-dimensional.

| * Chinese Lanterns/ China Balls: offer an inexpensive, yet very efficient way, of creating a soft light source. They can be used off-camera, and yet when needed, they can be placed within a scene as a practical light. Affix the lantern over a bare bulb socket (make your own or steal one from a clip light or lamp). | * Chinese Lanterns/ China Balls: offer an inexpensive, yet very efficient way, of creating a soft light source.
