Lasers with Alexa LF

[Chang]

Hello sir, I am filming a show on the Alexa LF with signature primes and there is a scene which requires lasers to be pointed into a shiny surface.

I am unable to find a any source of laser that will give me a beam when used in haze but it won’t damage the camera sensor.

 

what would be the minimum wattage laser that can be use to achieve such a scene without CGI.

I don’t know the exact make of laser but it can be done. I have tested lasers with a standard Alexa so an LF should be no different. Any laser should give a beam in a haze if it is set correctly.
