Get ready for a game-changer in the world of filmmaking! The Lytro Cinema Camera is set to revolutionize the way stories are told on screen. While many new technologies promise to shake things up, most fall short. But the Lytro Cinema Camera, created by Lytro, uses light field technology to analyze pixels for color, value, distance, and lighting direction. This means the end of the green screen, fixed shutter speeds, static depth of field, frames per second, and focusing.
Say goodbye to the tedious process of rotoscoping or shooting with a green screen to cut your subject out of the background. With the Lytro Cinema Camera, you can remove any pixel information farther than fifteen feet away from the camera, opening up a world of possibilities in both keying and lighting. And forget about getting perfect focus on set – the Lytro Cinema Camera technology allows you to select and keyframe your focus in post.
Depth of field is no longer set in stone on set – using the Lytro Cinema Camera, users can adjust the size of their depth of field in post, giving editors control over what is in focus and out of focus, along with the size and shape of the out-of-focus bokeh. And with High Bandwidth Mode, users can adjust both the frame rate and shutter speed of their video in post, giving them control over motion blur.
While the Lytro Cinema Camera may not be accessible to everyone just yet, high-end VFX companies will be able to take advantage of this game-changing technology. And if you’re interested in light field photography, you can purchase a Lytro Illum for around $400. Check out the Lytro gallery to see some amazing light field photography work.
