    I honestly don’t know what good this video is. I use Mylar a lot and I DO want it seen in my photos as well as the background and sometimes I add a gel to the light that is aimed at the Mylar. I crinkle the film up sometimes too for a different look and sometimes I don’t crinkle it. I don’t agree with all the suggestions. After all we are artists…

    Is it bad to glue mylar or panda or orca fail on something to fix it?

    Is there a substitute I can use if I don’t have Mylar paper?

    1. Mylar is not paper, it's a type of polyester film. More specifically, it's a brand name of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film from DuPont.
    2. There is no right or wrong way to use mylar. The whole purpose of using it, or similar materials, is to be creative, not abide by strict rules that ultimately inhibit creativity and innovation.
    3. Instead of limiting your shots to a narrow field of view, you can always lay down multiple sheets of mylar next to one another and correct the seams in post as needed.
    4. Crinkling up mylar can produce great creative effects with the right lighting and camera settings.

      100% Gels on crinkled mylar makes such a cool effect! There's so many creative ways to use it. The blown out reflections of light in this video aren't my thing but that doesn't make them right or wrong. It's a matter of preference.

    If you're just going to crinkle it just buy a cheap emergency blanket. You can even buy them in bulk for a dollar or two each

      Do that too but the sheets are small. Great for making clothing though. Crinkled Mylar is cool and you can make it look huge. There are better materials to use if you just want refections or use it as a mirror surface but as someone else said there is no right or wrong way to use it. BS ‘rules’ like that crush creativity.

      There may not be a "wrong" way, but there are ways that don't look good. Therefore we recommend not using it those ways.

      Exactly. I've seen several beautiful, dynamic shoots with crinkled mylar. Gels are used to bring some color to the crinkled silver mylar. Crinkled tinfoil and crinkled mylar look significantly different. She definitely projected her opinions as gospel, which is hilarious. "The right way" LOL. Gimme a break lol.

      @@thefilmgarage208 It's not a to each your own when you're giving falsified advice. At that point you should have stated that it is your personal opinion. Crinkled backdrop mylar creates a better reflective tone than crinkled up foil and with gels it still gives that aquatic reflection. Crinkled walls with smooth floor is the best approach for the best reflections.
