Hey Ryan. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I have a question. Do you know Bruno Aveillan, a French director?
https://vimeo.com/173057469
It seems he uses split diopters (with something else in front of his lenses) to get this kind of amazing flares and distortions in his shots.
Do you have any idea on how to achieve this kind of effects?
Thank you.
Roger
Hey Roger, I do know know Bruno Aveillan, but his work is impressive. In looking at the video you linked to, I don’t think he uses split diopters. The flare effect you are seeing is most likely achieved by smearing petroleum jelly (Vaseline) on an optical flat clear glass filter. There is beauty in the simplicity of this effect, especially since you can change where you place the petroleum jelly on the filter, change the amount, and adjust the thickness.
