Just wondering what I'm doing wrong.  I was experimenting with lights.  For a plain and simple start, I pointed a spotlight at the camera and rendered it.  I was expecting to see a circle of light.  Instead, I saw nothing.  Does this require volumetric lighting to get a somewhat hazy circle?

  My desire is to do some backlighting of a character to get a shadowy outline, like they do in the opening credits of the Bond films.  Do I do this with spot lighting?  Or do I need to create a "sheet" between the character and the camera and use area lighting?

  Any help would be much appriciated!

Thanks,
