			<content type="html"><![CDATA[The Batman effect is a good starting point.

Now you need to get small areas of reflected light catching his eyes and the bat logo. These would need to come from below, as if reflected up of a wet floor. 

On the films, you always see Batman eyes, even though they are heavily hooded by his mask - you would not see that if all the light was coming from above.

Movies and tv never rely on a single source of light, no matter how dark they want the image to be...and remember to be subtle!]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[quote=Cartoonkid98]If at night, add a blue tint by placing a blue gel over a light (Also dims the light :D). If just a dark room then don't do that.

Lower your exposure and gain levels. Keep exposure higher than gain. Adjust focus and tip the contrast up slightly.

You don't need black bricks for it to work: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZCxHLdUGt0&feature=player_detailpage#t=9s]I used white bricks here.[/url][/quote]
That was a really good effect.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I am currently filming in a dark room and i've used dark grey bricks for the set and dimmed the brightness on the camera, then in post production im going to dim it down slightly more. The reason i'm doing the rest of the dimming in post production is because I still want the quality I get filming in on bright set as I tend to find that if I make it too dark the quality looks....

If it's at night and there are windows, you can go with a blue lamp and still fiddle with camera settings, but the blue light would be more exclusive to nighttime outside.]]></content>
