Re: two spots in eyes

You have two catch lights in the eyes because you're using, in effect, two key lights.

Eyes are convex mirrors, naturally they will reflect any light source.

You can use one much larger area key source and rely on the wrap to fill the dark side.

You can change locations and put the lights where they should be to create the image you want, rather than where they must be because of the physical limitations of the space.

Or...

You can learn to love it the way it is.

Or... You can do the right thing and declare the location unacceptable for the shot you're trying to accomplish. "No," is a pretty powerful word and can be your best friend.

One more thing I simply must ask; you teach video production in LA?

Best regards,

Leo
