Abstract:
A method of selectively distorting a human face or other subject to be filmed or photographed includes providing a reflective or transmissive medium on which is formed a color pattern of two or more colors that produces white or gray by additive mixing, the color pattern consisting of a first set of one or more colors each of whose hue is ≥300 degrees or ≤120 degrees on a standard RGB color wheel and a second set of one or more colors each of whose hue is between 120 degrees and 300 degrees, the first set of colors confined to a contiguous region of the color pattern that makes up 50% or less by area. The method further includes positioning the medium relative to a light source and the subject such that light incident on the medium is reflected or transmitted by the medium and cast upon the subject.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of casting light upon a subject to be filmed or photographed, the method comprising:\n providing a reflective or transmissive medium on which is formed a color pattern of two or more colors that produces white or gray by additive mixing, the color pattern consisting of a first set of one or more colors each of whose hue is greater than or equal to 300 degrees or less than or equal to 120 degrees on a standard RGB color wheel and a second set of one or more colors each of whose hue is between 120 degrees and 300 degrees, the first set of one or more colors confined to a contiguous region of the color pattern that makes up 50% or less of the color pattern by area; and positioning the medium relative to a light source and the subject such that light from the light source incident on the medium is reflected or transmitted by the medium and cast upon the subject, wherein the contiguous region of the color pattern is i) a vertical stripe in a center of the color pattern, ii) a T-shaped region including a horizontal stripe extending along an edge of the color pattern and a vertical stripe extending along a center of the color pattern, or iii) a pair of curves that meet in a center of the color pattern.
