I lit five shots in the sunset sequence of SnowBugs, an animated short by A Couple of Kids Studios. Working from production color keys, I translated the established sunset look across the sequence, shaping the lighting to support the mood and maintain visual continuity as the action progressed. I kept the lighting direction, color relationships, and character readability consistent from shot to shot while adapting the setup to each composition.
