The Cinefade VariND allows cinematographers to quickly and remotely adjust exposure without affecting depth of field.

“We put the Cinefade in for a shot at dawn and as the sun came up I was able to adjust the VariND to compensate exposure, while maintaining exactly the amount of depth of field the director and I wanted on the airplane. The takes all have identical depths of field, which was essential for the shot’s success.”
- Erik Messerschmidt ASC

The Commuter (2018) shot by @paulcameron_dp, pin sharp focus by AC @renpops. Cinefade from T5.6 to T1.4 on @cwsonderoptic Leica Summilux 29mm T1.4 lens.
In this pivotal scene the #depthoffield gradually fades from a deep to a shallow depth-of-field at constant exposure, as #liamneeson is fired from his job and tries to deal with the situation.
The custom @cmotionlcs system is available to rent directly from @cinefade or from @keslowcamera in LA and @arri_rental in London. by @cinefade

We’re big fans of tech that pushes the boundaries of storytelling. @cinefade is a tool for varying depth of field without touching your exposure.

Whether you’re isolating a subject in a crowded room or creating a “visual punctuation mark,” this bit of kit is a game-changer.

Shoutout to the team at @cinefade for making the impossible look effortless.

“It was the easiest and probably the only way to use a RotaPola in this situation.”
- George Tsigas

Our Cinefade RotaPola is mounted in the matte box to control reflections and bring down the exposure of the sky on a sunny day. Remotely controlled with the #cPro hand unit.

“The opening shot of the movie involves just a shallow portion of the of the tail of the airplane in focus. It all happened at dawn and I knew I needed ND in the camera, but I wasn't exactly sure how much and we weren't sure if it was going to be cloudy or if it would be sunny. So, we put the Cinefade in and then as the sun came up and the amount of light on the set raised, I was able to adjust the VariND to compensate exposure while maintaining exactly the amount of depth of field the director and I wanted on the wings. We knew that we wanted just this shallow portion of it in focus and the rest all soft. The take we used, whether it was 6am or 6.45am, they all have identical depths of field. That was essential for the shot's success.

In cinematography, the sun is your enemy. And time is your enemy, because it's always moving, and it's never exactly where you want it. Having a tool around to compensate in those spare moments, where the sun is not exactly where you want it, or it's a little too bright, or it's a little too diffused with the clouds allows the workflow of the set to continue and is an enormous advantage.”

“On one particular shot, we did adjust the depth of field. It's very subtle, because it's difficult to tell in the final cut. The shot starts out with Jesse's wife and his daughter at bare minimum depth of field with the rest of the ocean and everything else quite soft and then as the planes come in, we rack the depth of field and closed down to like an 11 on the lens, so that they were both able to be more in focus.”

The cinematography of Devotion by DP Erik Messerschmidt ASC relied heavily on camera mounts, cranes and other contraptions to capture the images of the war epic.

“On the crane the Cinefade VariND is a game changer”
- 1AC Alex Scott

The Cinefade VariND speeds up the workflow for the camera assistant during filter changes and save a lot of time. Simply adjust the ND value on the wireless hand unit to change exposure without affecting depth of field and compromising the storytelling.
