Frank Poole Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Brereton Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Iris pulls are supposed to be invisible. Generally they’re hidden in pans or other moves for this reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Satsuki Murashige Posted February 1, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted February 1, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
