levels filter…lower the master levels a little bit and then adjust the mids back up to compensate

i think the lighting is faked. I think they shot the lit version on a green screen. Then they made darkened silhouettes of the actors. Then they made reveal mattes using a contrasted version of the person. Then they tracked a color glow to reveal the lit version using the contrasted mask. And where ever doesnt reveal just shows the black silhouette.

Why would you compare a cheap pc to an alienware? Spec a high end pc to an alienware and you get more performance per dollar. Do you need to troubleshoot your pc often? Mine isn’t an alienware and I didn’t even have to troubleshoot it the day I bought it. You spec the identical specs as the alienwares components and you get the same performance. Alienware simply has the components branded for them at the same factories that makes everyone else’s components. Just dont mis spec your machine. I suppose if you live somewhere with no decent PC retailers, and if you have no technical skills and no IT department then you would want to by an out of the box cookie cutter machine. But if you are a business you NEED someone with some technical savvy to spec your machines for you or you’re going to be burning money. With Alienware you are paying at least double the price simple for convenience or ignorance. Most alienware owners I know like to brag about it though. It’s kind of like mercedes owners, they like to be seen with the machine.
