Is there anybody here who can enlighten me on why, in certain scenes, light would be shone upon an actor’s eyes in TOS? I believe they stopped that during the first season.
I would bet it’s because they were still filming with black and white TVs in mind, so some of the lighting choices reflect how it will look in black and white. Example.
Still I find the lighting unnatural (personally), so there must have been some special reason to do it.
Eye lights were common back in the day because film stocks were extremely slow (needed a lot of light to expose properly). It's always important to ensure eyes are well lit, since they're so important for expression, even if it's a bit overdone here.
Fun facts are always important
This is the best Trek meme I've seen in a long time. I need a series of memes like this.
I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you.
lol TOS needs a deadpan spoof of 'Airplane' or 'Police Squad!' standards
