Wedge tests can be used to provide a range of lighting options by rotating a light by a number of degrees over a frozen frame, for the purpose of review. In this video you'll learn how to set up and render a wedge test by animating the rotation of a light, and using a TimeOffset node to freeze the shot animation, so you can give a range of lighting variations to be chosen from and approved.
