WatchSuper quick light test. quick look at what type of shadows could be created (using only one badly positioned angle poise- so could get some good ones with more effort!)
Might try removing the ‘walls’ (used as a guide to the dimensions and to block out background- could use bedsheet- different shadows on a curve…)
