ISO | MOV | 1920 x 1080 | Motion Graphics, Animation, Effects | 8.5 GB

In video, bokeh refers to the aesthetic quality of the blur in out-of-focus areas of an image. When your lens renders out of focus points of light, lens aberrations and variations in aperture shape produce a series of colored shapes that can act as a pleasing accent for the in-focus subject matter. These designs, based on the interplay of light and unfocused motion can also offer an attractive abstract backdrop all on their own. Getting just the right amount of this effect in your footage can be a hit-or-miss endeavor, something it might take you years to perfect.

This random and unpredictable error has the ability to symbolize a host of concepts that would otherwise be impossible to illustrate, from futuristic communication, natural disaster and complete chaos to suspense, fear and space age technology. While you cant program a glitch to hit your camera equipment at just the right moment in your shoot, if you are lucky enough to have the Digital Juice Drag & Drop Series at your disposal, you can still convey these concepts with the judicious use of some glitch effects.

There is something about the quality of reflective light which is very appealing to the human eye. It lends an element of magical excitement and shining freshness to what would normally be a mundane scene.

An experienced cinematographer might be able to get just the effect you need, but most of your productions won’t have the budget or time for that. Luckily, you now have the Digital Juice Drag & Drop Series at your disposal.
