@@dslrvideoshooterjust a heads up, some Tiffen filters like the Black Satin have grids of bokeh artifacts that can make certain shots unusable, since they show up so prominently in bokeh orbs. Just had it ruin some client shots I did since I wasn’t aware of that issue. I called tiffen and they were like “yeah we know, other people have complained too”…

Nice filters. I would love to see a video showing the differences between lens filters and post effects and the reasons why some effects can’t be done in post as well as a lens filter.

@@jessecumberledge4530 Haze is - again- something different entirely (if you're talking about pumping haze into a set). Haze, optical diffusion and "digital" diffusion are all a bit different...

Amazing video as always, and was actually just starting to go down the diffusion filter rabbit hole (Tiffen, Moment, Urth, etc.). Was also happy to see the shoutouts at the end of the video. Such a simple gesture, but genuinely something that can make a huge difference for smaller creators!

I have the Glimmerglass 1 and often film outdoors, let me tell you, the halation and the way it softens the harsh digital frame are worth every penny. It makes my footage look dreamlike and totally different to anything else out there. So much more to it than any software effect you can use.

What do you think about GG 1/2? On videos looks like it is twice less powerful than 1 and much less powerful than BPM 1/8. I consider GG 1 or GG 1/2 just for having really subtle halation. I'm just afraid 1/2 can be twin image to no filter because so far Glimmerglass line is the most subtle in Tiffen.

That was great. Seeing the crazy halation character of the Smoque 2 on the light was wild. Love effects when stacking as well. Thanks for the great demo Caleb.

I loooooove your studio and that little table with the Macintosh on it!!! It almost looks like a CG or a toy scene and the lighting is really great. Could come directly from a Pixar movie or something. Really great work.

Love that you did a shout out to small channels! Respect that!

I’ve used this for years and never thought to make a video about it smh 🤦‍♂️ Fantastic video Caleb!

I can’t be the only one who isn’t a fan of Black ProMist filters. I get when they’re used with a purpose, but way too many people here on KZread use them 24/7 and never take them off their lenses. When I see videos with very low contrast and extreme highlight blooming I can tell right away they just slapped on a BPM filter because everyone else is doing it This Smoque filter is quite interesting though and if used purposefully I think you can get amazing footage with it

Thank you for the comparison. GxAce, Casey, might be the most creative filmmaking and photography channel I know. All his content is way up there. Strongly suggest his channel. Every video is almost like a sci-fi movie (blade runner and such), great content.

The MOST helpful video I’ve seen for these filters. Thank you

This is amazing! I use a Cinebloom and DreamFX but was curious about glimmerglass, and now finding out about this smoque filter I might just need to pick it up as well.

Wow thank you for this. Never new a smoke filter was a thing. Looks just like atmosphere spray was added to the room! Also that triangle diagram is pretty cool. I’d hang that on a wall 🙌🏻

This is interesting on an artistic level. Modern lenses are so clean/clinical that people are adding character to them. Stuff that is just part of the inherent character of many vintage lenses.

Fantastic, been looking for something exactly like this filter. Thanks Caleb.

Really useful, best vid on filters ive seen so far.

I just ordered a GG1 Tiffen in 77mm a few days ago! Can't wait to use it for both photo and video.

This filter will change some of my workflow ❤

Thanks for this extremely useful video! I’ve been following your channel for 5 or 6 years maybe more haha, and I’ve always added those effects in post production because couldn’t decide which filter to buy since there are expensive. This video will definitely help me chose and take the plunge :) Edit: I also love using my fog machine to create a smoky ambiance in my sets, but since I make 30min long shots, it’s not consistent as time passes and grading is sometimes tricky, those filters will definitely solve that.

Thanks Caleb, wasn't aware of this filter

Hey! Love the review!!!! I got a few questions. What lens were you using to film the desk shot? My next question is, based on what lens you used, what was the circular size of the glimmerglass filter when you ordered it? Last question is that, say I wanted to get the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 zoom lens and put a glimmerglass filter on it, Do you know what would be the correct circular size of the glimmerglass filter for the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 zoom lens?

They also effect light sources by adding a bloom effect and can have a nice softening effect on skin which can be flattering on older subjects or female subjects I have an older repeat client who wouldn't like the look of the image when it was too sharp, pop on a Hollywood Black magic filter and they love it

thanks for mentioning Ben&Jack Studio, I know those fine gentlemen personally 😉

It's probably because of my monitors but I don't see much of a difference between the lenses when comparing them on clips of yourself. I think using more outdoor shots instead of yourself would help, just because I noticed a difference with the room shots a lot more than when you were using comparison shots of yourself. Could be time to get better monitors as well though lol!

Would love to see a comparison between this filter, and a filter added digitally in post. It looks nice, but would prefer a workflow of clean footage I can alter and play with digitally.

Hey Caleb, great comparison video! I have a special request for you: recreate these diffusion filter effect within Premiere or Resolve to compare a lens filter vs color grading work. I'm sure you can recreate the Smoque filter effect by just raising the blacks and adding a bit of halation. I would be very curious to see the difference. Cheers!

What order would you stack the GG and the Smoque? Which one goes on first?

Cool video! What is that lens that you have on A6400?

I tried that but really didn't notice a huge difference if any.

When you stack a diffusion filter with an ND filter, which one should be placed first (closer to the lens): the ND filter or the diffusion filter?

I really love the glimmer glass as well, now I'm kind tempted to buy the smoque filter, but I don't need it.

I have a question Caleb. I use SLR Magic microprimes which are already a bit flare-ry, not very sharp and they don't have much contrast as well almost like a vintage lens. Now I use them as my own signature look for how they render these characteristics. I'm willing to get the Glimmerglass but is it worth it or will it be overkill?

Is it not possible to create those effects in SW (Premiere Pro)? If so what would be the pro's and con's. I'd think that it gives you more versatility if you can do it in post en perhaps also cheaper than buying one or more expensive filters (depending on the lens diameter). I do like the effect of the combined filters as it gives a kind of 80ties vibe to the desk image.

2:30 - why is a filter called “ultra contrast“ all the way in the corner for decreased contrast?

I most use only a VND filter for the kind of video that I make, but my doubt is: how do i add two filters on the same lens? Do they must have the same diameter or does one need to be bigger or smaller than the second one?

@philipewald9824

as long as your filters also have a thread on the front (my gobe vnd has one while the k&f doesn't) there should be no Problem - the size must be the same tho so for example 70mm on 70mm

What's good about the filter is - you may no longer need to get a vintage lens, as you can get a pretty much the same look with putting a filter on top of a modern lens. They way I see it.

This vs hairspray on uv filter?

I love shooting with filters but I always get nervous about having the look baked in. Most of the time I'll shoot the sequence twice, one with and one without...just because I know I'll kick myself later if I don't.

Yoo, are you from Rockford, Illinois?! Thats my hometown! I'm working in Chicago but thats awesome if you're a fellow filmmaker repping the 815! Small world!

Objectively speaking, what is the advantage of doing this on camera rather than in post?

Wait. Can't this be done in post? Not sure I would want this look baked into my footage but I'm sure it works for some.

Fyi the filter strength changes with focal length.. to match shots you might need different strengths.

Hoya Black Mist filter, same thing.

Beautiful. If you dont mind me saying, @ 3:00 when you insert comparison clips, could you please sync them so your hand is moving in unison, because otherwise, its chaotic, confusing and too much information

The strength of these filters always has to be linked to the sharpness of your lens at a given aperture. @ F1.4 to F2.8 a 1/8th strength Promist might be suitable. But at F5.6 to F11 where many lenses can become extremely sharp a 1/4th Promist might be more suitable.
