What The Heck Is This Weird Lens Filter?

[SkillzRemainsDumb.]

The split halo shots look nicer tbh. Cool vid tho

Thanks, that explains those terrible news videos with the center clear and distorted sides.

Just curious. Can someone explain to me what the benefit is of using one of these filters rather than doing some type of similar effect in post? Is it that the shapes of the lenses have access to light in a different manner than what the post processing code is able to do, is it something else, or is there no benefit other than doing it in camera?

Yo who filmed that stone sour music video? It’s so sick

And there are times you would need individual purchesses to swap out for "better" filters...

I honestly Didn't expect to see corey taylor in a vid about camera lenses

Do people actually use the full halo? Seems unusable because of how much it distorts, even for creative shots

Just bothers me how ridiculously expensive Prism FX filters are. They need to come out with a variety pack with like 8 filters for $500 or something

Gimmicky. You'll use it once at best and likely never. If you want to throw away cash, i can open up my pocket & y'all can ball up bills and pretend you're Kobe.
