Video Transcript

"Now we’re currently on segment fifteen, now this segment we’re going to be talking about the hard light source. So what we’re going to do is we want to go ahead and turn off our main light which is over here, so we’re going to go ahead and pop that off and then we’re going to go ahead and turn off our secondary light source which is this one right over here so go ahead and turn that off. And now what we’re left with is our backlight our rim light which is coming from here, now I picked that light source because this is the only hard light source we’re using right now. Now if we zoom onto my shirt right here where the shadow portion is as you can see the shadow is right here and the unshadow portion is over here and you see there’s a clear delimitation between where’s the shadow and where there’s not shadow, this is why it’s a hard light source cause it may create these very sharp shadow with very sharp lines, very sharp edges there’s no type of blurry or murky areas. So we’re going to go ahead and zoom back out, put me back in the frame and then we’re going to go ahead and we’re going to turn on our secondary light source which is coming from this side over here and it’s back on and then what we’re going to do is turn on our main light source which is coming from right over here, so our main light source is back on and as you can see the shadows now they’re not as hard anymore, they’re a little different, they’re a little soften up which we’re going to get into our next segment.
