Porsche automotive shoot with the Cinefade RotaPola

Polarisers are essential on any automotive shoot, allowing the Director of Photography to control reflections on the bodywork and windshield of the ‘hero car’. Automotive productions often use a crane, Russian Arm, Technodolly or car rig to stabilise and move the camera, making the camera inaccessible to the crew. Wireless control of the camera and its accessories is therefore essential and the Cinefade Motorised Polariser enables filmmakers to remotely control a polariser via the cmotion cPro lens control system.
