Oliver Janesh Christiansen Share Posted April 18, 2020 The novel Cinefade VariND has been available for over a year now and there are some great examples of how cinematographers have used the variable depth of field effect in narrative storytelling and commercials (Examples). It's still a new effect though and I'm wondering how else you would use the Cinefade in your post-covid projects? Reveal a bad guy lurking in the background by extending depth of field? Combine with a Dolly Zoom effect? Let's get creative... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AJ Young Share Posted April 19, 2020 I believe the film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World did something like this effect for one shot. I can't remember exactly where in the movie, but it's pretty close to this I think. They used the effect for the character realizing something grave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oliver Janesh Christiansen Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 I wonder if they did it in post or practically on set. I have seen some examples of it being done in post, for example in TV series Bodyguard (not great result). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
