You didn't say what kind of feedback you want, or if you want any, so I'll guess you do. I'm not so fond of the sepia-toned grabs. There's a lot of detail around your hand in the first frame, I guess it's all there in the fourth frame, but it doesn't seem to stand out as much. I guess you already noted the rim of light/dark in the upper right corner...makes the lighting look artificial. The 2nd frame (upper right) is growing as my preferred CC.

I really like the B&W one first. The one to the right is nice also. Too much light on the 2 bottom ones, in my opinion.

I was just telling a DP friend of mine about Blade Runner - 1st film to use softboxes, softbanks, whatever you want to call them -- box lights.

NO direct lighting in Blade Runner per se; mostly all softbanks on the actors, it's very, very soft and diffused. That's the way to get that look. No hard shadows.

Holla NYC!

i dunno dude iwatched BR, and therewas TONS of direct lighting in that movie. the way to make it nice is to get a nice mix of the two.

As for the grabs, im feeling #2

There's an article on BR's cinematography the American Cinematographer site:

http://develop.studeo.com/asc/magazine/mar99/blade/index.htm

DP Jordan Croneweth talks about the film's visual style, including his penchant for hard backlight, soft front light, and the movie's ubiquitous shafts of light.

As for the frame grabs, I kind of light the bottom right one best.

good article thanks!

To be honest all of the grabs look good, now it just depends on what look your are wanting.

Cool article. Very interesting. I specifically meant about that being the first film to use softboxes, though. Was it in the article and I missed it? (I tend to skim.)
