    Soft Focus

    Posted by Jaco Rossouw on July 15, 2008 at 3:29 pm

    Hi Guys,
    hope someone can help.
    we recently did a green screen shoot using Silicon Imaging SI-2K,
    with the cineform codec.

    when we checked focus everything seemed to be right.
    We did closeup shot and some wide shots.

    now when we check the footage the wide shots has a soft focus,not sharp at all, where the close ups are great and crisp.

    any ideas what could have happened.can it be something we are doing wrong while working with the avi files.

    we are useing Premiere Pro CS3 and AE.

    Thanks in advanced.

    It almost certainely is the back focus. Most professional cameras (with removable lens) have a back focus ring at the back of the lens. If not adjusted, your wide shots will indeed be soft.
