Lol, "cheap way". Blur is simply the out of focus plane. Typically, the larger the area out of focus and the more smooth this "blur" is, the more expensive the lens being used. Meaning, it has a very large aperture.
Doesn't mean you have to like the result, but it doesn't really correlate to cheap, quite the opposite. That said, I don't think a lens will make much of a different on a total production budget.
- Rebelgecko 4y agoThe thing that bugs me is that the netflix blur doesn't seem related to depth. Like, someone will be standing 10 feet away from the camera and their face is in focus but their torso is a blur. Which is why it looks cheap to me, it hides the detail of the costumes, sets, etc and doesn't actually look good.
- fleddr 4y agoThat does sound peculiar as a heavy blur on a distant subject that does have some part in focus is unusual. May very well a post processing effect.
