Neon Dark Video

Unlike a traditionally lit scene where a key light illuminates the subject’s face, the neon dark video lives in the extremes. Approximately 70-80% of the frame should be deep, dark shadows (blacks pushed to near-zero). The remaining 20-30% is occupied by bright, often blown-out neon sources. This ratio creates a high dynamic range that feels tactile and dangerous.
