Naturalistic lighting is the worst thing to happen to film and television. I don’t care where the light is coming from; I want to experience the emotion of the image as expressed by the director.

Yes, thank you. I was aware of this quote and I love it but I was too lazy to go find it. Same place as the music.

@atebbel Doing things like Star Trek actually requires less lighting. Chiaroscuro favors small pooled sources and lots of shadow. Your objection is less about "natural" sourcing than it is about what's become a tendency to either go too flat and overlight, or too muddy and "gritty".
@atebbel Lots of people know this quote. Fewer people know that in "The Return of the King" the Pelennor fields are filmed as being lit by two suns - located in the North and the South. It does not make any sense. But it ensures that nobody's faces are in the shadow.
@atebbel Idk if that really applies to games because so many game engines as I understand them rely on visible light sources
