Lighting Projects

This is a collection of projects made for my Lighting & Rendering classes during my time at Gnomon School of Visual Effects. Unless otherwise noted, all of these scenes were provided by our instructor, Fred Durand, on a weekly basis and it was our task to light the scene as best to our ability in any manner or mood we saw fit in time for next class.
