Author Topic: Zombieland lighting Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 10-19-2009 02:05 PM                        I'm wondering if anyone noticed that some scenes on Zombieland seemed to have some stray lighting at the bottom right of the screen. This was especially noticeable during the scenes where they were all in the Hummer. A number of times it looked like someone was shining a flashlight up on Abigale Breslin from the floorboard. I doubt this was a presentation issue because it was only during some scenes. I noticed it both times I watched the movie - although both were on the same screen.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 10-19-2009 02:18 PM                       Most likely WAS a light.. car interiors have to be lit like that so you can see the actor's faces. It probably just wasn't flagged properly, or at all ("flags" are shields placed between lamps and the camera, at various places, which keep the lens from flaring).  |  IP: Logged
