Euro Cine Expo 2024: Image Based Lighting – IBL

IMAGO Technical & Education Committees Panel

Lighting an environment to be visually convincing  has always been the prime goal for any cinematographer. In the past, we have used shortcuts like Poor Mans Process, or manually creating shadows, but now with Image-based Lighting (IBL), creating realistic and active subject lighting can be accomplished using video or computer generated assets. Image-Based Lighting (IBL)uses images displayed on LED set lights to produce realistic reflections and ambient lighting in a scene. It gives the cinematographer subtle lighting effects that help make the objects appear as though they naturally belong in an environment.
