How much light is required for the Cinefade effect?

Due to the nature of the effect, a lot of light is required to be able to transition from a deep depth of field to a shallow depth of field in one shot. The effect lends itself well to daytime exteriors and artificial lighting or a light sensitive camera sensor is required for studio shoots, interior locations and night shots.
