Tonight's Exhibition | Lighting/Look Development

In the short film "Tonight's Exhibition," a pharaoh passes away and wakes up as a mummy trapped in a private art collection. As a lighting artist, my responsibilities included: showcasing a graphic lighting style using the aiToon shader in Maya, creating and adjusting tonemaps, specularity, roughness, etc., and creating and adjusting key lights, fill lights, rim lights, and glows. The lighting team was narrowed to one other artist and me to polish and refine the shots, creating cohesion.

Scope: Responsible for 11 shots; Lighting team: 16 members; Polish team: 2 members; 60 weeks for entire film
Date of completion: June 2026
