Giving a job description of a cinematographer is a bit difficult because the term cinematographer can apply to various jobs ranging from camera operator to director of photography. Most often, the term refers to the director of photography, or top cinematographer on a film, so let's focus on that.
Thermoplastic Polyolefin Elastomer (TPO (POE)). Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) are a class of polyurethane plastics with many useful properties, including elasticity, transparency, and resistance to oil, grease and abrasion. Technically, they are thermoplastic elastomers consisting of linear segmented block copolymers composed of hard and soft segments.
SantopreneÂ® Thermo Plastic Elastomer (TPE) is an injection moldable rubber type material. SantopreneÂ® is generally used in applications that require a flexible material but, limited chemical resistance. The most common color of the raw material is black; other colors are available with special orders. This material, in its natural state, is lighter than water, meaning SantopreneÂ® balls float in water.
