Rim light
A light from behind that outlines the subject's edge. The surroundings go dark and two lights behind the person, left and right, draw thin bright edges only along both sides of the head and shoulders; the plan at the bottom right shows where the two lights are.

How the movement works
To separate a person or product from a dark background and show its shape.
- 01Scene 1: a head-and-shoulders figure in front of a horizon at y 150 (head centre x 270, y 78, radius 29 px, no face or hair).
- 02Background: light scene → dark scene (sky #2B2D33, ground #24252A); figure #4D5A75 → #1F2128
- 03Bright edges: two copies of the figure in amber #FFC75A, shifted 3.5 px left and right and 2.5 px up, placed behind the dark figure (3.5 px wide edges)
- 04Plan at the bottom right (66×66 px): lights at ±135° seen from above (behind, left and right); top-right readout "±135°"
- 05Timing: the effect comes in from 0.4 s to 1.4 s, holds until 4.0 s and is gone again by 4.8 s (one pass = 5 s, cubic ease-in-out (about cubic-bezier(0.65,0,0.35,1)))
Prompt
Portrait on a black background with rim lights from both rear sides; the face stays dark and only the outline of the head and shoulders glows.
