Cheapest form of creating atmospheric haze ?
Ram Nanda replied to Ram Nanda's topic in Lighting for Film & Video
Thanks Mr.David -
For Indie shooting, what are the cheapest forms of creating hazy atmosphere for depth ? Haze machine, to me, is little over the budget. In India, we use sambrani powder for smoke, but when used in indoors it creates suffocation. added to that sambrani smoke doesn't stay. it lingers in air. Any other cheap alternatives ?

Which comes where infront of light among Gel paper vs Diffusion Paper ? and what are the situations to use - gel infront of light first and - Diffusion infront of light first. Does color also diffuse if a diffusion is placed infront of it ? Ex : A Full CTO + 250 on M90 vs 250 + full CTO on M90

can someone experienced let me know answers to these questions. I have never used a color checker before. 1) How important is color checkers for Digital cameras recording in RAW or similar top quality formats ? 2) Is it a viable option for day to day use in movie production ? 3) Can we differentiate different skin tones using checker ? 4) If shooting outdoor, is it a good choice to use as day light intensity & temperature keeps varying through out the day ? 5) what are industry standard best practices for using color checkers ? 6) what is the best company color checker available in market ?

Hi Mr. David Citizen Kane is famous for deep focus. But I'm referring to full focus. When actor is close to camera, may be like a close up or extreme close up, even in wide angle lens background goes to out of focus to some degree. I was told by a cinematographer that he saw a movie from 90's where every shot in that movie is in full focus including close up shots. He doesn't remember the movie's name.

Is there any movie, where everything in shot is in focus even if the subject is close to camera ?

Ansel Adams devised a 11 Zone system. Can this be equated to 11 exposure zones ? Current film or Digital sensors are rated as 15 stops of dynamic range. Does that mean 15 Zones or 15 Stops fit into 11 Zone system (like 1.36 stop per zone) ? HDR output is like 20 stops of dynamic range. Does it mean 20 stops fit into 11 zones ? And what is exposure latitude in relation to these ? Can some one please explain this ?! some times it is confusing.
