Frank Poole Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I am curious what this actually looks like on film, Wondering if anyone could point to a specific moment in a film when this technique was used? I imagine this is sometimes done to compensate when panning/tilting/etc to a brighter area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Brereton Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Iris pulls are supposed to be invisible. Generally they’re hidden in pans or other moves for this reason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sustaining Member Satsuki Murashige Posted February 1 Sustaining Member Share Posted February 1 Most Steadicam shots where a camera goes from day exterior in full sun to interior in a big wide shot will have an iris pull, as it’s usually not possible or practical to light up a wide interior shot to the same level as the exterior.

He would do the stop pull as he circled a subject to keep the exposure constant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
