(‘SFX’) CINEMATIC SPECIAL EFFECTS
In collaboration with Stefan Lange, DOP and
Visual FX Veteran, we have created an arsenal of
Cinematographic Special FX ( CineSFX™ ) , these
production tools are designed to complement your
feature/ music video/short film.
SFX Brightness and Colour Temperature :
Please note, the current ‘BRI’ brightness level and
‘COL’ colour temperature setting of NEO 2 is used
by SFX mode to represent the ‘peak output’ level of
each effect, enabling accurate metering (i.e. if NEO
2 is set to 75% brightness and 5600 Kelvin, then the
lightning effect peak brightness level shall be 75%
brightness at 5600 Kelvin).
Therefore, to ensure maximum SFX brightness,
set NEO 2 to 100% brightness and 4100 Kelvin for
maximum brightness in SFX mode.
To adjust the colour temperature of the light to
better match your desired effect, i.e. for ‘Fire’, set the
‘COL’ to 3150kelvin, for ‘TV’ set the ‘COL’ to ‘6000k’,
for Lightning’ set the ‘COL’ to 6300k. To do this, once
you have selected your desired SFX (ie FIRE), press
hold AND rotate the right knob to set the desired
‘Colour Temperature’ (in kelvin, from 3150-6300k).
To similarly adjust the peak (maximum) brightness
level of your desired effect, once you have selected
your desired effect press, hold & rotate the left knob.
