Abstract

In the real world, light exists everywhere. In animation, lighting can enhance the mood and the feel of a scene. The light itself shouldn’t distract the viewers from characters and main events. But what happens when the light becomes the main character? This thesis will research and discuss how to convey emotions using light. Includes the animated short "Lighting & Emotions".
