Synthwave

"Riding a neon grid into a sunset that only exists in the digital past"

Shot list

• Close portrait lit entirely by a magenta and cyan split the two gels creating a hard dividing line down the nose
• Silhouette of a subject against a purple-to-black gradient sky with a grid pattern projected on the ground
• Low-angle shot of a car on a wet road at night, neon reflections streaking the tarmac

Lighting

Hard gels only magenta, cyan, and deep purple fluorescent or LED panels creating competing colored shadows; no white light in the frame
