Lighting

Shot 1:

I used spotlights with the keylight being the only light to cast shadows, to simulate the object being lit from behind.

Shot 2:

By shooting at a lower angle and using a more dramatic rim light, I attempted to make the illusion that the object was large.

Shot 3:

Using a harsh red light for my key light and a more subtle blue, I experimented with other looks for the group of objects.
