Chris Potako’s Lens Flare Cheat Sheet

I’ve added many lens flares to many, many projects over the years. Sometimes it’s a realistic effect that you need to break through from the background to the foreground. Sometimes it’s a dramatic way to accent a logo or introduce text. I made a “cheat sheet” for basic elements so you can describe lens flares with clients more easily. Read on for details!


Video – Still – Short Film

About a year ago, I provided the sound design and mixing for Mixed Nuts Productions newest short film Still.

Most of the project was fairly straight forward. There were some background sounds, some speech, simple effects for phone calls, etc. However, the climax of the film proved quite a bit more challenging!

The film went on to be officially selected for over 25+ film festivals all across the country!


Video – “Vote” Election Music Video Parody

I shot and edited a parody video about the 2016 election called “Vote” (based on Madonna’s Vogue)!

We tried to go shot-for-shot as best as we could with the original video. It’s a challenging video to copy – especially on a very limited budget. Overall I’m quite pleased with the results!


Video – Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: THE MOVIE (2015) TRAILER

I had a minor roll in this Cinemassacre / James Rolfe production. I helped him out behind the scenes with some editing tips and went with him to collect all of the props for the tavern scene. As a result he let me be one of the least scene angry townsfolk in the very back. 🤣

Always a fun time to work on projects with James!
