Selvan Ramsamy Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I've noticed countless amount of time when I saw behind the scene footages where an assistant will be holding a scrim at either the side of the camera or behind the camera. Why do they do that for? Is it scrims or something else which I'm not aware off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Brereton Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 It's common practice to use a 4x4 net as a windbreak when shooting handheld or on steadicam. You might also use one when the camera is on sticks if the wind is especially strong, or you're on a long lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabyasachi Patra Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I completely agree with Stuart. The problem of wind is increased manifold in the mountains. A microphone on top of the camera to record sound as well as help in sync sound later becomes a challenge due to the wind. So asking someone to stand and hold reflectors, flat panels etc helps in blocking off the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
