michael abraham Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) Hi guys, First thank you for reading this post. I'm going to film a project where the main light is from a lighter in the total darkness :o There are different scenes where the light will be created from the sparks of the flint only :huh: To make everything more difficult is that the lighter has seen in the frame. My question is: how can I increase the light from the sparks especially in sync with them? I was thinking to use a battery's car(shorting positive and negative pole together) but how can I sync lighter and it together? Do anyone has a better idea? All the best!

Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted April 9, 2012 Premium Member Share Posted April 9, 2012 I'm not sure who makes them, but I've seen flicker boxes which look at a source in the frame and dim up and down accordingly via a small photometric sensor. Something like this, I'd say, can work for the effect your looking for. or you can build it yourself: (http://www.hauntedillinois.com/lightflicker.php) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
