Article Comment – Using Beards as Bounce Cards (& Other Cool Lighting Tricks Used in 'The Hateful Eight')

I'm with you on this, I appreciate that it's a heavily styalised movie, which it needs to be, because... Tarantino ... yet I still came away from some of the cabin scenes feeling like something wasn't quite right, some of the light motivation was beyond comprehension, you can still have a styalised look without it looking too false... If it draws your attention, then yeh it's not a positive for me.

The beard bouncecard thing as well, i'm not so sure, I think theres a bounceboard simply on his chest, I don't know how you'd get any direction out of a beard that's parallel to the ground...? Not to discredit Matt here at all, your work is amazing!!

I love the film still, everything about it was immense, just those few lighting questions is all, i'd at least have masked some elements in post just to kinda cover your tracks a bit with sources, like the hotspots on the tables for example... but that's me.
