Lights! Camera! Action!

Lighting is something that a lot of people never really think about. We think of lighting as functional - the Sun's gone down, let's turn on the lights! However, it's one of the most important features in movies, and surprisingly, video games.

The intensity of lighting is also key when you're at home. How many people like having super-bright halogen lights shining on them right before bed? Actually, I do, but I know I'm alone on that one. The biggest mistake we might make with lighting is buying lights for the sole purpose of functionality, while ignoring the design of the lamp itself.
