Filter video with all/most existing filters would be cool!! Even if it’s an hour long

[lukaspictures]

A comparison video between various diffusion filters would be amazing. If you will decide to do it make sure to test as many various filters as you can. Pearlescent, glimmer glass, black promist, promist, satin, black diffusion, low con, Hollywood black magic and so on.

GoPro with large mattebox is classic combo.

Another nice feature is rain protection. I shot for hours in light rain today and my small rig mini matte box kept the lens totally dry.

lens filtration video please! thank you, great series of videos! I'm learning a lot

[MiatchGrip]

dude, very nicely done.
And thanx for doing hard mattes, most people never heard, and such an important accessory on set.

Dear CVP,
A comparison video of modern filters for digital cinematography particularly for enhancing skin tone would be fantastic!

[billtora]

Great video!!! Thank you! Yes, to the filter video please.

[johannbauermeister]

Thanks for the information. Yes, a Filter video would be much appreciated!

[zallesproductions]

Epic video. Thanks. Would love to see a filter episode!

[Veptis]

I don't have a one, but I can see all the advantages. Especially unifying filters.

[Francois_Coissard]

Ho yeah +1 for a video on the filters !!! (ND, black promist, polariser, UV…) 👍

[EugeneMaynard]

I am interested in the possible filter test!👍🏾🙏🏾

[azprod.]

Thank you for the video, really helped me out, and guide me, appreciate it

[DarioBarrosFilmmaker]

would be cool, yes an indepth filter video

[scooteractual]

great video - im racking my brain trying to find a solution for a 117mm diameter red pro 300mm prime to get my Tilta matte box to work on it. Any tips? Are the donut rings flexible enough to stretch a 114 up to 117mm?

[gerthenriksen]

Thanks a lot. How do you protect the surface your lens (scratching the lens), when you put on the matte box? Let' say a 95mm matte box on a 95 mm lens - (so no step up rings needed)

[ondrejjanoska]

Very informative video. I am not planning to get a arri mattebox but for general knowledge this kind of videos are fun to watch. I am actually having tilta mini mattebox but I am putting it on just sometimes when in use with my canon Fd lenses because they like to flare a lot. Thanks Jake.

I only buy cine cams to look better. I don't use them. I will be adding a matte box to my Hermes ties collection very soon.

On the Blackmagic design 4K Studio Pro what lens would be good for long-distance Zoom if someone is honest a350 from you what would be a good zoom lens to get an up-close shot headshot and half shot
