Also thought that if you have a lot of shiny surfaces you may get an
interesting effect by animating the specular colours of your materials. In
dark conditions, you don't really 'see' any hi-lights on objects until your
eyes have adjusted to the lo-light conditions. This could be simulated by
making any specular components the same colour [and thus intensity] as the
main colour component.
