The EyeWhat a better way to start this blog by introducing the most important tool in movie making: the human eye.
The eye is nearly a sphere, with an average diameter of approximately 20 mm. Three membranes enclose the eye: The cornea and sclera outer cover; the choroid; and the retina. At its anterior extreme, the choroid is divided into the ciliary body and the iris. The latter contracts or expands to control the amount of light that enters the eye. The central opening of the iris (the pupil) is, on optimal condition of 4mm in diameter. It varies from approximately 2 mm (f/8.3) in a bright environment to 8 mm (f/2.1) in the dark. The latter value decreases slowly with age, older people’s eyes sometimes dilate to not more than 5-6mm. more »

Since we are talking about digital information, each value can be coded using different Word length. These days, the typical lengths are 8, 10, 12 or even 16 bits. more » Page 1 of 1 pages Advertisement |

LIGHTING: Advanced Cucoloris Use Illustrated by a Solar Eclipse
Q: What happens when you stack several pattern-making devices in front of a light? A: Extreme lighting goodness. Learn why here…
I love stacking cucolorii (plural of “cucoloris”) and I thought it was time to write an article about how this technique works and why I like it so much. I was a bit stretched for ideas that would illustrate this concept… and then an eclipse happened. Why that made a difference is a very interesting story…
