Light Odyssey is a homage to the most determinative (classical) science fiction cinematography.
Primarily summon the tech noir atmosphere of Blade Runner, and e.g. the single point perspective of 2001 Space Odyssey.
These films cinematography takes the classic conventions one step further.
Just like in Blade Runner, with the use of strong shafts of light and backlighting, immediately evokes images from classic black-and-white movies.
The hard lights, the overexposed sight makes the atmosphere so unusual and exciting, while the well-founded colored neon lights makes the vision transcends theatricality.
