Munich, August 4, 2025 – In interviews, documentaries, and direct-to-camera statements, emotional connection hinges on a single, often-overlooked detail: eye contact. But when a camera is placed between two people, that connection tends to vanish. Subjects glance slightly off to the side. Actors perform to tape marks. The viewer feels the distance, not the emotion.
SeeU by Screenplane is here to change that.
Developed by renowned cinematographer Sebastian Cramer, SeeU is a compact, professional-grade mirror system attachment designed to restore genuine, eye-to-eye connection—right through the lens. Whether for interviews, emotional close-ups, or scripted performances, SeeU helps bring authenticity, presence, and intimacy back into the frame.
A New Standard for Interview and Close-Up Work
SeeU allows on-camera talent to look directly into the lens while still seeing and interacting with a person behind the camera—be it an interviewer, director, or scene partner. This creates more emotionally resonant, personal content—making audiences feel truly seen.
Key Features at a Glance:
Direct Eye Contact
Subjects maintain real-time visual connection with someone off-camera—ideal for emotionally charged conversations, interviews, and first-person storytelling.
Dual Focal Lengths – One Viewpoint
SeeU lets you shoot with two different focal lengths from the same perspective—with zero parallax offset. This streamlines multi-angle edits and keeps continuity rock solid.
Adjustable Eye-Line
No more acting to tape marks. The mirror’s angle can be easily adjusted so the subject’s gaze naturally shifts across different positions, making performances more fluid and convincing.
Teleprompter Integration
Place a monitor or tablet (like an iPad) behind the mirror, and SeeU becomes a teleprompter—ideal for guided presentations without losing that crucial connection to the audience.
Wide Lens Compatibility
Supports lenses from approx. 18–20mm (S35, 16:9) and all longer focal lengths—giving DPs maximum creative flexibility.
Portable & Production-Ready
The system is collapsible, easy to transport, and integrates seamlessly into standard 15mm rod systems. Adjustable flags minimize glare and reflections, even when working with wide-angle lenses.
For Documentary, Fiction, or Corporate Video – SeeU Just Works
Whether you’re capturing a CEO’s message, an emotional scene in a narrative film, or a revealing interview for a documentary, SeeU adds humanity and depth to your visuals without adding complexity to your workflow.
