How do they achieve that crisp, contrast look in films, even when shooting into the sun? Why is it that when you try it, the shot is milky or hazy? The Mattebox is the device that solves that problem. It's great shooting into the sun. You get great highlights everywhere, the actors are naturally backlit, the sun isn't in their eyes and the scene looks more dynamic. But you need protection for the camera lens from haze and the major culprit, flare. Matteboxes allow you to control flare like never before. They also allow you to mount 4x4 and sometimes 4x5.65 filters all this is demonstrated in the program.
