Tom Banks Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 I've got a project coming up in which a SWAT team searches a dark hazy hallway. The director wanted to simulate the effect seen below, with the flashlight beams from their guns cutting through the haze. We'll be shooting 250D around a f2.8. Can anyone estimate the amount of lumens we'll need to make a significant beam? The production designer has used the SureFire flashlightsis before with somewhere around 300 lumens. Thanks guys!
J. Lamar King IMPOSTOR Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) The Surefires should work great. You can recreate the effect of the beam on a surface with a Bug-a-beam Leko. just defocus the lens until you get that little dark hole in the middle. Works great. Edited July 24, 2008 by J.
