The American cameraman and producer Christopher Baffa uses special filters made by Schneider-Kreuznach for the lavishly produced musical scenes in “Glee”, the latest award-winning television series from the United States. “Schneider-Kreuznach Classic Soft filters are effective because they perform wonderfully while not calling attention to themselves. In our musical performances, we photograph a tremendous range of contrast in our lighting situations. Classic Soft filters are perfect for a sharp image with intensive colors, without weakening or ‘milking out’ the blacks.” says Christopher Baffa, head cinematographer. Schneider-Kreuznach Classic Soft filters for camera lenses are available in 4 x 4, 4 x 5.650 and 6.6 x 6.6 inch sizes. Camera crews at U.S. film studios have been using them for many years. Hundreds of tiny micro lenses provide a precise yet soft image – perfect for the typical highly polished Hollywood look.
“Glee” has already won 20 prestigious awards in the U.S. including the Golden Globe 2010 for the “best series”. It has become a pop culture phenomenon there. The ingredients for its success are a profound story with lots of emotions and a good portion of black humor that makes viewers laugh and cry at the same time. The series was created by Ryan Murphy and produced by 20th Century Fox Television.
