ASC cinematographer Markus Förderer announced back in November 2023 the beta of Cineflares, an interactive lens-flare library for cinematographers, directors, visual-effects artists, game designers and other creatives. The thousands of beta users who signed up during the free beta program gave valuable feedback to grow this project into a unique resource to discover and research cine lenses. All lenses have been optically captured under the exact same conditions. It is meant to be a resource to discover, compare, and virtually test cine lenses for your next shoot or post-production. On this video Markus Förderer talks with Kenny McMillan about the whole project and a lot of other things related to the industry.
