You see warm, cool, neutral edge lights in movies -- just depends, partly on what natural source that edge light could be coming from, and what mood you are trying to create. I used a cool edge light in the first part of "Akeelah and the Bee" to add some blue into the frames, but it was motivated by a window usually.

Master Mullen, what exactly is the difference between KICKER light and EDGE light? Is it possible to give me an example with pictures? Thank you very much for your kindness

Of course, you may want to avoid this technique if an actor has bad skin (pimples, acne scars, etc.) and you're trying to make them look good.

Here's some frames from "Crimson Tide" showing the effect of a soft glancing edge light, usually from a Kinoflo. Edge lights also do a nice job of bringing out the sweat on someone's skin, and reflecting soft lights off of dark skin can help provide some highlights on the face.

I like using a vertical Kinoflo tube as a kicker, the reflection of the fluorescent tube creates a nice sheen on the cheek. "Crimson Tide" is a good example of using Kinoflos for kickers.

On this episode of Controllers Classified, Brex’s CAO Erik Zhou is joined by Sowmya Ranganathan, OpenAI’s Controller. The conversation begins with a discussion on Sowmya’s career and her diverse experiences as an auditor and as a finance leader at both public and private tech companies, including Square and Rippling prior to OpenAI. Specifically, she highlights some of her insights for accounting during periods of business hypergrowth (i.e. when OpenAI launched ChatGPT) and the increasing need for technical savviness even as a finance professional (ex: Sowmya learned SQL as a way to manage the processing and analysis of a large data set of transactions at Square). She concludes her career overview with this advice: accounting leaders need to consider where their processes would break down if they were to grow quickly and focus their time and effort on making sure those processes are as scalable and automated as possible (hint: it requires building relationships with engineering).Sowmya and Erik then deep dive into the need for a tech-first approach to accounting that embraces AI to find efficiencies in the financial close process. Sowmya outlines how she thinks AI may evolve the job of accountants and the future skill sets that will be required as a result. She also spends some time considering audit implications and considerations as teams embed emerging technology into their workflows and systems. This episode is a must-listen for finance and tech enthusiasts.Finally, the episode closes with Sowmya’s bookkeeping fiasco at a previous company!

My experience is that edge lights normally look cooler because of the angle. Something happens there. I can give you many examples of rim lights at the same temperature as the key light that look cool in my own work. It's got something to do with the angle and the intensity, but mainly I think it's an intensity thing since rim's are normally a lot brighter than the key, they appear cooler in comparison.

An edge light can be as hot as you want it to be; again, it depends on the effect you want to achieve and what might be motivating that light.

You can gel the edge light of course for a warmer effect. That shot of Denzel Washington in the car has a warmer edge (actually probably just 3200K) because the key is blue coming through the front windshield. You see this throughout the movie -- when the key is closer to daylight, the edge might be tungsten and look warm in comparison. Most of the time, it's the other way though, they use warmer keys and bluer edges.

For night interiors, I usually put a 1/4 or 1/2 CTO on a soft edge to make it feel like it could be from the glow from an under-3200K table lamp.

This question is for anyone, but i'v noticed a lot of backlights and kickers are slightly cooler than the key and I really like the look of it. It makes sense near a window but I've seen it else where too. Is it really cooler or is it the angle of reflection and the fact its usually a stop hotter. If it is cooler is it as much as 1/4 ctb or 1/8? I know it depends on the movie and style of course. Examples include Courage Under Fire... it looked really good on Washington's dark skin. Die Hard 4- look really hot almost blownout at times. Let me know if anyone has any information on this. It has always intrigued me and I could never tell exactly what it was.
