I think part of the solution would be to go gently with the back-lighting -- or rather the lighting of the backdrop (which is coming along gorgeously; I congratulated blackpool on the beauty of the finished product, forgetting that it was not yet finished, because the grill was still missing). The other thing would be some gentle lighting right over the throne dais, and especially its front side. Now there you can probably already experiment with how much light reached Jabba naturally from the front and whether this enhancement is actually necessary (your photos above were taken at night, I believe -- although of course you might want it to work at night too). If necessary, whether you choose a weak light or perhaps a colored one (or one shining through colored transparent acrylic or whatever), is something you would have to figure out.

Yeah, the lighting behind the backdrop has to be just right. Enough to show all the amazing details, but not too much to wash everything out — or overshine everything. And yes, blackpool has been doing an amazing job. I can’t wait to add that masterpiece to this dio.

By the way as a really hobbyist photographer, I suggest you just buy some christmas use LED lights and stick to the ceiling side (which we can't see when you shoot from God view angle... Or you can hide beneath candles or fire torches for reality looks...but that only you understands the scene structure, so you might need to figure out how to "hide" those LEDs if normal way don't works... Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

I’ve been contemplating the idea of dimmable LED strip lights, hidden somehow in the ceiling panel. Similar idea to your suggestion.

In all seriousness, I feel confident you will be able to work out some kind of solution. Can the back-lighting issue be 'cancelled out' somehow by making sure the whole area has enough soft, diffused light coming from another source/direction?

I don’t think lighting from the front would necessarily work to bring out the backdrop “room”, without over-lighting everything in front of it. If I had made the dio deeper, which I don’t have the room for, I probably could have gotten away with hiding lights behind the arch to light that part. But that still leaves my current issue.

I think Lawlaw may have hit on something.

It's been awhile since I had anything to update. Just recently received a small set of strip lights to test for additional front lighting to the throne area.

Left over strip section:

Interestingly, the phone camera lightens much more than they look in person. But they work great imho. I can even change the colors and the brightness -- I can go Disco style, and even have the lights change colors after a few seconds (but I have no intention of doing that).

All of the colors are on the lowest setting (as I said, they look more subdued in person):

Orange:

Whichever color I choose, and how intense the light has to be, will depend greatly on how the image blackpool is working on will look when it's in place and lit from behind.

Here is my personal preference at the moment (orange) with low light, and one step up in intensity:

Really happy to see an update, glad something worked out! And I agree with your pick...the orange tone seems perfect. Smile

They look excellent. And having seen blackpool's updated graphic for the background (though apparently still not finalized), I just know that it will end up even more glorious. I like the orange version, but the background might end up dictating what works best in the end. To be screen accurate, white or light blue might be advisable.

 That's true, it's hard to tell for sure without seeing it all together. But it's nice to have different options!

Thanks, Sky and Guv. I agree, the white and blue might end up being more feasible. It will definitely depend on the background.

Nice one, MerylAkiba. Pink is probably last on my list... but we’ll see; maybe with the backdrop lit up, pink might just be the color that makes it all work. Wink

I just love multicolour LEDs. And just magine getting some purple Hookah haze in there. I guess it could work by connecting the hookah with a secret tube from under the DIAS. Or just blow that stuff in their general direction.

I like the yellow and orange lighting.

Thanks, fellas.

I decided to play around a bit and added a few more characters to see how they look.

Sorry for the overly long delay, here is a small size preview of the final version of the backdrop that should fill in the archway Smile

Don't apologize, Alex. What you have done here is a work of art. I can't thank you enough, my friend. Now I need to gather the funds to have this printed up. I couldn't be happier. it truly is a thing of beauty that may very well outshine all the work I've done on this dio.

Thank you. I'm going to go cry now (Manly tears, dammit. Manly tears of joy!!).

HAHAHAHA epic, you'll have to teach me to insert those funny gifs!

Since we all have a birthday sooner or later if you have a paypal account I'd gladly fund a part of that printing as a belated birthday present, I have quite no idea how much it could cost tho!
