Character lighting from Greg White

Greg's a pro lighter at DreamWorks and has signed on to help us refine our lighting schemes.  I like the results so far!

Aaditi Dutt's blog

One of our matte painters, Aaditi Dutt, has posted on her blog a fascinating collection of photographs of a fire in her building (Aaditi is ok :)), some of which may be mined for use in texturing the bleak environments in Lucy.  Additi is a fantastic talent, but don't take my word for it.  See her work for yourself:
