The
Clairmont Distortion filters were created at the request of Dante
Spinotte ASC for the movie BLINK. He needed to capture the point of
view of someone who had just regained their eyesight. Spinotti asked
for an analog alternative to the computer generated effects that had
been suggested to him. Our Research and Development Department came
up with the answer!
Warped
plexiglass was the answer. 6" x 12" sheets were randomly
melted and bubbled in varying degrees. With companion, custom designed,
motorized matte box, these filters can be slid from side to side or
rotated. Cascading streaks of color flow off the subject as the irregular
portion of the plexiglass passes over it.
The 6"
x 12" motorized matte box mounts on 15mm matte box rods in from
of any lens that is compatible with a 6.6" x 6.6" matte
box. Inclusive with the matte box package is a motor and control,
plus batteries.
