The Panavision Hylén System introduces new realms of “On-Set” creativity control for cinematographers and directors. By utilizing the Primo® quality optical relay system, and advanced electro-mechanics, the user can manipulate the intermediate image (the image between the lens and the film plane or image sensor) in “real time” with a wide range of organic optical effect “plug-ins” prior to image capture.
The first such plug-in is called “Regional Focus Control” (RFC). This effect has an area of sharp focus which can be freely moved anywhere within the frame. The surrounding area can be defocused to any desired degree from sharp to completely soft. All adjustments are seen live in your viewfinder or field monitor.
RFC enables new ways of directing the viewer’s attention anywhere within your image. Now even wide-angle lenses can have a shallow focus effect.
Desired effects are based on interchangeable smart plug-ins.
Current plug-ins include:
· Regional Focus Control
· Rotatable Regional Focus Control
· Variable ND Grads
· Graphic Overlays
· Filter Mosaics
· Diffusion, Polarizer, Overalls Filters
· Mask Mosaics
· Gun Sight, Binocular, Keyhole, Night Vision.
· Text/Image Overlay
In-Camera effects save production money while allowing complete “On-Set” artistic control.
