Floaters are the floating lights you get if you rub your eyes hard. Any ideas on how to add them as special effects so that scenes are seen through the eyes of some one who sees floaters all the time?

My only thing is do it on computer, but if your a poor lil' country hick like me try somthing dumb like a transparent piece of plastic with very small thingy's(floaters) and place it right in front of the lens and move it around it might work. but i don't think that it will work with auto focus.

Hope this helps

Well, if you can't do it right, improvise!

Why not try putting water or maybe some other liquid on the lens of the camera. This will refract the light comeing in to the camera and might make the floaters. I realy don't know if this will work, I have never tried it myself. And I dought if water would be the best thing to put on the lens, maybe a lens cleaner would work.
