I've started watching my xmas present, the box set of Star Trek the Original Series. (You can all be jealous now) Last night on the episode, The Enemy Within, due to a transporter accident Cpt. Kirk is split into two people, his kind, compassionate, caring side and his aggressive evil side. When they do a face closeup on his evil side there's some weird lighting like when kids try to scare each other by holding a flashlight under their chins. I'm asking seriously, how do they do that? I can't imagine the actor holding a light source under his chin, and it seems ludicrous that someone would be crawling around on the floor doing the same. I don't really think it's special effects because back in 1966 those kind of speciall effects were pretty obvious. Any ideas, all you talented film making and watching types?
