  Camera reflection out window

  Posted by Jackson Redshaw on October 9, 2012 at 11:44 am

  Hey!

  Is there a way to adjust any settings to reduce the reflection made by the glass of a window? I had to film out a window and sometimes you can actually see the camera, only just, but you can see it.

  Anybody had this issue before? Any settings I could change to at least reduce it?

  Thanks

  Jackson,

  A thin, even film of aerosol hairspray will ‘deaden’ the reflection from the glass, but also cause an effect on what you are shooting. It’s a trade-off. It looks like lens filter. Not all hairsprays are created equal. Try a cheap one.

  A polarizing filter helps with reflections.
  The trade-off is that you’ll lose 1 or 2 stops of light coming into your camera.

  Hey!

  Thanks for your replies, I’ll keep that in mind. But on this occasion I meant in post.

  In that case, you could try masking it out but, if the camera was moving, it would mean a LOT of keyframes.
