Seeing Through Crying Eyes
Hello everyone. Can anyone suggest how to recreate a “seeing through tears” effect? NOT tears on the face, but as if someone looks through the eyes filling up with tears. I understand there will be some warping and blurring involved, but can you think of recreating tears gradually obscuring the vision? I think there will be some blinking involved, making the view more and more “hazy and blurry”. Thank you!

There’s Andrew Kramer’s tutorial for water droplets:

Scaling up the size will probably get you the effects you’re going for.

Hi,
I don’t have a clip yet. I am trying to think ahead if I will need to implement that physically, e.g. Vaseline over a camera lenses, or in post. But thanks for offering to teach me the trick. Do you happen to have an example?

Hi. That is awesome! It may work for a scene when a character is hit and instead of water there would be blood. However, it is not really I am aiming for. I imagine thee is some “water tank filling up” and getting hazy until the first blink and then every blink the image gest warped. I think that how it works when someone cries.

take your time to find an existing example of this effect, maybe from a movie! This way we can all avoid shooting in the dark for you and show you straight the solution, happy to help, talk soon

Good idea. Only I may spend a lifetime trying to find an episode in the ocean of movies.

Well, this old war movie comes to mind as the closest to what I am looking for.. As you can see there is some warping and haze going on. I would add some “blinking” with each blink teh image getting more blurred and distorted.

sounds good! I’ll work on a technique you can use, it won’t be 100% what you want (i don’t think it’s possible LOL) but i’ll bring you in the right direction so you can continue on your own!
