Topic: silhouette effect

I've been wondering how to make a silhouette effect possibly for a new film. the only example I can think of is in Fancypants' video Leftovers

its near the end, about 1:40 onwards

Re: silhouette effect

I think that the effect is achieved by having absolutely no light for the key light and all the light from behind the figure. I have never tried this in a film but I am familiar with the effect so don't bet everything on me I might be wrong.

Ahhh yeah!!!

Re: silhouette effect

That seems like it could work; just move your lights around until you get what you want, the only way to get lighting the way you want is to move things around until you get something that you like.

Make a black minifigure.

Here's a virtual design of mine that uses a black minifigure as a shadowy figure:
