We carry a variety of filters for your production. From simple ND sets, to coral pinks, we have you covered.
Camera filters are transparent or translucent optical elements which are either attached to the front of the lens or included as part of the lens housing. Filters alter the properties of light before it reaches the CCD and can be used to correct problems with light or to create certain effects.
Useful and popular filters include:
• Neutral Density (ND): A color-neutral filter which absorbs light evenly throughout the visible spectrum. Used to reduce the amount of light coming through the lens in strong lighting situations.
• Ultra Violet (UV): Video cameras are sensitive to both visible light and ultra violet (UV) light. UV is invisible to humans but it can create a blue tinge and/or washed-out effect on video, especially outside. A UV filter removes UV light while leaving visible light intact. UV filters are also commonly used as a protective filter for the lens.
• Polarizing: A special type of lens which removes polarized light, reducing the washed-out effect sometimes created by reflected light. This results in more saturated, vibrant colors. Polarized filters are usually mounted with a rotational adjustment to align the polarization.
