I've decided after successfully completing multiple DOF adapters for my camera and my two friends, I will offer anyone here who wants a shallower Depth of Field to their footage. This allows you to focus from something in the foreground to something in the background. for example, when the camera is looking through a chainlink fence, you can focus on the chain links or focus what is through the fence.
here is some footage I found online:
http://vimeo.com/371947http://vimeo.com/399586It expands the possibilities of your camera, gives your footage the cinematic look, and takes away certain restrictions of functionality within your camera's usage. It gives you more control with your camera, which could increase the cost of your camera to the thousands. There are professional DOF adapters out there, that cost about $1000-$3000 and due to the way I make mine, I reduce the cost significantly. Also mine is VERY small and compact (allowing less light loss AND preventing lots of strain on your camcorder)
Please PM me if you're interested.
