Ed_David Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 This is a inexpensive LED flare light option - super super powerful and $140 quid on amazon US - creates very nice flares and good color - I use this a lot now on a bunch of jobs.

Neat idea. Anyone have any links to what this looks like in the final footage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_David Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 yes I used it on this piece I shot - all flares are fake. Nick Hughes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronChicago Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Didn't JJ Abrams do this on Star Trek? Intentionally shining a beam into the anamorphic lens to create the streaks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Actually inexpensive would be something 18650 powered. Like something with a XM-L2 U3 BIN (e.g. UltraFire C8).DISCL. Not sure at which lumens of exposure your sensor could fry though, so try at own risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liszon Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Yes, I have one of those pocket torches from Ebay. It was something like £15. It says 1000 lumen, well most people doupt it gives you even half of that, but what I can say it's mega bright anyway. Works from 3xAAA or 18650.That's the one:http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/300952024248Even cheaper now, and they say it's 2200 lumen, hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
