AEROSOL
[Film Technology]
[Film Technology]
A fine wax coating sprayed
over shine surfaces in which specular reflections appear distracting on camera. The coating diffuses the reflection, but if
overdone, may modify the appearance of the subject.
Among the cameraman’s problems when shooting interiors particularly on location
where the settings are less controllable, are
the numerous undesirable flares and reflections that come from polished surfaces, windows,
pictures, etc. A dulling spray applied from an aerosol can, may be used to make any shiny surfaces
slightly matte. One particular type, marketed under the proprietors brand name
of `ANTI-FLARE’ may be used on any type of
surface and subsequently rubbed off. It does not kill all the reflections
completely but gives them a softer character.
It is said to be harmless to all surfaces.
