Artyom Zakharenko Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Hello there ladies and gents i have a question In the past (maybe its still the case) some cameramen used some sort of cloth/net that they put between their lens and body mount to give the image a certain effect. I don't know the name of this product, but if some of you know what i mean, where to get that? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Howell Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I think people would experiment with whatever they had to hand, I know on Picnic at Hanging Rock they used materiel from an old wedding dress to create that dreamy, soft diffused look, and on 2001 A Space Odyssey the visual effects department used a pair of really old 1930's womens tights to create the diffused glow around the planets and stars, I believe Kubrick referred to this material as a 'pre-war gauze' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) I've used stocking for stills. Stretching it reduces the effect. You then fix it in a frame so it's consistent. Start with, IIRC, 30 denier black. Brown would affect the colour, I imagine. Edited January 25, 2013 by Mark Dunn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted February 14, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted February 14, 2013 You can buy a pop filter for a microphone that is basically a stocking mounted in a circle with a gooseneck that can clip to your tripod. These can be found at any Guitar Center or Musician's Friend online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
