Source Distinct, until they start crossing them over, that is. Which is honestly, very ingenious. But they did it in such a way that it was subtle while watching the movie, but different enough that you can still see a clear line between the two worlds. You have the cool colors in the fantasy world, but […]
Source So, in contrast, the real world in Pan’s Labyrinth is lit using cool colors. It’s mean to represent the cold, harsh truth of reality. So there’s a strong usage of greens and blues. It’s also a lot darker with strong shadows to help bring out that ominous feeling. I think this representation works better than the reds/yellows […]

Ofelia’s fantasy world versus the harsh reality. The fantasy world is then lit using warm colors, so that the audience […]

Even if you just watch the first 20 seconds, you can see how much effort Square Enix put into lighting the environment and […]
Source/Tutorial I skipped over the gels section, because it wasn’t that interesting. But I do think this was noteworthy for his use of the materials’ reflectivity. He lights the back wall, and aims it so that when it bounces from the wall and hits the granite tile, there’s that softer gradient look. And this is […]

He uses 2 lights behind the granite tile/object to create the rim lighting and a black background, to have that sleek look without seeing the edge of the granite tile. He does have a silver reflector located […]
