INT to EXT Steadicam shot
Shots where the camera travels from an interior to an exterior location with large lighting differences are now possible without having to 'ride the iris' and affecting depth of field.
The variable ND filter is controlled with the cPRO or Hi-5 hand unit to adjust exposure when transitioning between bright and dark environments, allowing the DP to maintain a constant shallow depth of field inside as well as outside (read more).
The cmotion Cinefade VariND is a professional variable ND filter for cinematographers to for shots where the lighting conditions change drastically, like for example during an interior to exterior transition shot on a Steadicam.
The Cinefade VariND is remotely controlled with a cPRO lens control system and can also be adjusted directly on the filter itself, replacing a set of traditional ND filters.
Faster ND changes
Instead of manually changing traditional Neutral Density filters, a variable ND filter allows for faster and more precise neutral density changes in third and full stops either remotely with the cPRO and Hi-5 or directly on the filter without a lens control system.
