Ekranimist

Ekranimist is a term that combines "ekran" (screen) and "mist" (a thin fog or vapor), referring to a visual effect used in filmmaking and video production. This technique involves creating a semi-transparent overlay on the screen, often used to create a dreamlike or surreal atmosphere. Ekranimist can be achieved through various methods, including the use of physical fog machines, digital effects, or practical effects like smoke and mist. It is commonly employed in genres such as fantasy, science fiction, and horror to enhance the mood and immerse the audience in the narrative. The effect can be subtle, adding a layer of mystery, or more pronounced, serving as a visual metaphor for certain themes or emotions. Ekranimist is a versatile tool in the filmmaker's arsenal, capable of evoking a wide range of feelings and enhancing the overall viewing experience.
