Enhance Your Image with Lens Filters!

Sharing my latest additions to my filter kit! Nothing better than doing lens tests and filter tests in pre-production and figuring out the overall look of your movie without relying on "fix it in post"!

These are some of my favorite camera lens filters made by Tiffen, Schneider, H&H, and Firecrest! And of course my favorite go-to matte box from Wooden Camera!

Good video I love you bro 👊 do you have any lut pack's you thinking about selling? Lol I did not know there is a orange county Florida I live in Orange County California

[geraldfrancke]

Very interesting video! It was fun to see the different filter effects. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

[Zainphotography]

I am not a videographer but you are really authentic and honest with all the information provided. Very engaging abd professional.

good luck man :-)

[mineralsound]

Note that all of these filters' strength & look will vary widely depending on what focal length lens you're using them with. The 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2 etc. system was actually developed so cinematographers could have a consistent look across different focal lengths! If you image search the confetti filter, you'll also see how it can look wildly different on a wide-angle lens as opposed to a tele lens. By the looks of this test, I'd guess you were using it with an 80-100mm.

THANKS Justin for the Video, it really helps to see some of your Filming process.

[trueaddict]

I have a fotga swing away matte box - swing away is definitely the way to go as a cinematographer. I wish mine had 3 slots and the ability to angle them though

[augustinereyes]

Great video!
I appreciate the work you put into it.

[KeepitOneHunnedGrand]

I’m definitely not a hater. Keep doing your thing bro. People hate people who can’t be bought. It is what it is.

[awcreatedthis]

Great video. Very informative. Keep up the good work 👍🏾

[tomdchi]

This current test shot of the mannequin shows that you've come a huge way since your early videos! It's head and shoulders (pun intended!) above the old stuff.

I've been wanting to try the True Streak 4mm filter on my Isco Ultra Star anamorphic. It has no flares but is a great looking lens. The True Streak might just do the job.

[Nausk]

Thanks for all the content. Also a user of the BMPCC 4k and found a lot of interesting videos on your channel - keep up the good work!

[muziektelevisie]

Super interesting! I want to try out that confetti filter, just for fun. Do you have an opinion on the use of Polarization filters? Is it important for adding contrast in general, or is it more like something you use only in special circumstances, like shooting through glass?

[paulscinemareel]

Thanks Justin. Which Digital Diffusion FX strength do you suggest for standard use. I believe you have the 1/2 there? I like the subtle looks of black pro-mist 1/8 so something comparable would be nice.

[freejay]

All i got is a Tiffen variable nd and a cheap ir cut filter
Might get a Tiffen pro mist soon

hi, can you make more videos about Schneider True-Streak Confetti Filter? I really like it and care about it

[marcelk]

do you have the same problem with the corners on wide lenses? the lens flare streaks are bending at my 16mm

[ozzmanzz]

Love your passion and the fact you’re giving it a red hot go. Just some constructive comments, I think the lighting for your talking to camera shots was much better in your previous videos.

[ryanwooten]

Can you recommend a computer for editing bmpcc4k footage with resolve?

[rickvestuto]

a lot of filters
I have a much smaller
I'm really looking to buy a Pro-mist filter 4x5.5
maybe you can find me a used one out by you
another great video
Regards, Rick
