Ok
I'am asking for a bit much. We are setting up a studio with our DVX-100B and an ARRI light kit to shot "talking head portraits."
Looking for info on lenses filters that would soften faces a little.
Thanks
 
You could try something like a Promist lens filter. Unlike the intense samples, I use a Black Promist 1/2 (half) and am considering just a 1/4. You may need more though. There is always filters you can apply in post, such as a Magic Bullet for Editors or a blurred duplicated layer above in the timeline, that is semi-transparent, or then there is a glow filter, etc. Use of matte/masks in your NLE or compositing app will allow you to apply a filter selectively to those problem spots. :beer:
 
I suppose it depends on how far from 21 the subject is. Someone once joked about having to shoot Sybil Shepard through a mayonaise jar.

Oh- there is also something called a Dibbi Net, that is pretty simply sheer silk.

72mm

Although, I'd have to agree and say you'll be able to get better results in post than with just a filter.

Do you have After Effects? that'd be the way to go. There's even free tutorials on how to acomplish exactly what you're after.
