NAB 2007 Entry - CURING HD HORRORS AT NAB 2007 (BOOTH #C5917)
It’s vital that actors, actresses and TV presenters look great on screen. But, as every DP knows, shooting HD, in all its high-resolution glory, can strike terror amongst the talent and start alarm bells ringing for make-up.
At NAB 2007, British filter manufacturer Formatt Filters will be show its range of best-selling HD filters, that are helping cure the horrors of high-definition production.
• HD Clear Soft – perfect for softening with minimal loss of detail and contrast
• HD Soft Gold Enhancing filters – subtle softening of the image with great skin tone enhancement
• HD Supersoft Gold Enhancing – the ultimate filters for softening, skin tone and facial enhancement, plus the removal of hard lines and blemishes.
• Brand new 4mm filters – Formatt’s filters have traditionally been different, in that they were only 3mm in thickness, plus a protective frame. Now the whole filter range is available in 4mm without a frame.
But don’t take Formatt’s word for it. Here’s what Roy Wagner ASC, DP on TV series House says:
“You know that Formatt filters are futureproof. They are a great asset to a cinematographer because we get paid to make people look good, and these filters definitely make people look good.”
