Secret sauce One of A Kind Lens Filter - The Dior

A video detailing the lens filter we are using on our indie film. With these videos we're looking to possibly pass on some our insights when it comes to gear and the production of an indie film, and we figured we'd start with this one.

My dad has been a master portrait photographer since the 70s. I have a whole home-made set of these in storage he made back in the day. So many oldschool hacks like this

[@SomewhereinFlorida]

What! Well obviously your dad is a legend, and you're sitting on the mother lode.

[@nelsonclub7722]

Dior Denier 10 is the magic number. Hold between two round filters or between filter and lens - we were using these in the 80's cool stuff

[@SomewhereinFlorida]

haha, man you guys had it all figured out, thanks for paving the way.

[@nelsonclub7722]

@@SomewhereinFlorida Ah yes but not for film - this is the first time I have sen it used for film - makes sense tho - good stuff - brill little film you got going there - good luck with it all - one tiny tiny little tip for photography - a lighter or a match burn the centre out!!

[@rorylong314]

You could maybe use it in a 3D printed frame? Print one side, pause the print, stretch the material across the printed bit and continue the print. The material, in its stretched form, is then fixed in place

[@silentrice7399]

Haha always exciting to hear the 18-35 mm getting put thru the paces! I absolutely love that lens

[@SomewhereinFlorida]

haha, it's our favorite lens we have by far!

[@the_washington_monument_am9714]

The stills look AMAZING! Can’t wait to see the final result-as well as your insights along the way!

Dior stockings (specifically the #10 black) were used for DECADES both behind and in front of the lens (behind meaning like, in the camera mount basically). You can see it used famously in the Godfather and I wanna say before then but I don't have the time to run through my ASC magazines for that info haha Schneider makes a modern version mounted in glass today.

[@SomewhereinFlorida]

haha, freaking very cool. Listening to your Yeoman podcast rn, great stuff. Keep em coming.

I can’t this anywhere, can you drop a link please. I can’t even find the pantyhose

[@Owlbot]

@@quintinx.3630 Dior hasn't made them in decades that's why the Schneider version is the only "true" option

Thank you!! It's definitely taken a bit of time, but we're trying hard lol.

[@smilinkylen5621]

Time to get some pantihoes.... hot daaaaamn. I been shooting film photos for like 20 years and never seen a star or mist filter that looks this insane. That 5% difference, makes 100% more force in the image. This is always the case with anything prolific. Awesome work dudes.

Typically it looks even better when you put in on the rear element of the lens, much more subdued.

Aye, ye olde pantihose over lens technique. Been around for a long long time. I prefer the Glimmerglass myself. The Pantyhose tends to get towards the cheapy soap look for me. But to each their own. :)

What happens with that filter over an anamorphic lense? Surui for the ursa plus Dior filter may be sick

[@SomewhereinFlorida]

I'm sure that would be awesome. we haven't tested it but I'm guessing it wouldn't be much different than any other lens?

[@RCL802]

I was thinking it may create a unique flare pattern

[@SomewhereinFlorida]

@@RCL802 I seee. Well hopefully we eventually get our hands on some anamorphics to test it out lol.

Do you have a link to them?

[@SomewhereinFlorida]

It's actually an old technique which you can make yourself! I think it's called "net diffusion".

[@ibrahim.productions]

@@SomewhereinFloridaI can‘t find anything on google, do you have a link to help me out😂

[@SomewhereinFlorida]

@@ibrahim.productions lol I don't, but what I've gathered from the comments is "They are Dior #10 black stockings. You can buy them and stretche them and put behind the lens as well" which those may be hard to find now, and someone else mentioned "Schneider makes a modern version mounted in glass today.". I suppose the other options outside of that would be checking google again for net diffusion pantyhose filter, I think I saw a few articles from that, and seeing if people are making their own with a more available pantyhose and then building it from scratch. I really wish I did just have a link lol.

hey I'm also a DP in Tampa! let me know if you need any help on set. I do sound and compose music for film also

[@moondrop.agency]

Oh guys, thanks for the rabbit hole!!

[@SomewhereinFlorida]

lol, nothing better than a good ole rabbit hole!

[@erockvaughn2190]

Yes. They are Dior #10 black stockings. You can buy them and stretche them and put behind the lens as well. That is what we use to do.

[@quintinx.3630]

I can’t them anywhere, do you know where to get them?

[@tvlmedia314]

Do you pull it over a filterframe in total? So you shoot trough 2 layers of stockings. Or do you cut it out and make a single layer? How does it work?

[@erockvaughn2190]

@@tvlmedia314 There are many ways., The old school way was you use one layer behind the lens and use gaffers tape to hold in it place. Now they make fron filters and they do amazing. I like the front filter ones better, Schneider makes some. here is one name chneider Optics 82mm True-Net Black 3 Glass Filter. They make neutral, tan, gray and black net filters. they have them in many styles you cna do a google search one them. This would be the easiest way . I would start with a black net 3 to get the most romantic and diffused look. But you can dial it back to a 1 if you just need a soft touch.

Yo, I'm in a really similar place in my career right now in terms of making extremely low budget films while striving to make them look and feel real. I agree that there are tips and tricks not floating around out there that are necessary in order to achieve a "real" looking movie. It took me years to figure them out, and I'm still learning. Only on my last couple of projects have I really started to nail it, I feel (neither of which I can post to my channel yet, sadly). Looking forward to more ideas from y'all, and maybe I can share my own. Good luck finishing your film!

[@SomewhereinFlorida]

lol, I want to nerd out on all this but that'd be quite the long comment. I'll say though, if you're starting to feel like you're nailing it, there's no way you're not onto something. It looks like you've definitely zeroed in on a few pieces of what you want your style to be. And without all the learning and figuring it out, then where's the fun lol. I hope you can post the projects soon that you feel good about. And we'll keep trucking as long as you do the same!
