I love the way you explained this - one of the most helpful and casual, and straight up honest explanations I've seen! Subbed and looking forward to more videos!
Ummm, a black mist filter sorta does that, but a filter that specifically smooths skin, not really. Anything that would “smooth” skin would smooth the entire image.
I love the look these filters give. I have to admit tho... ever since I started using Dehancer I would rather do it in post. That way I can control the amount no matter what or even if I just forgot my filter I can add it in later! Nice work on this video bro!
I don’t disagree with you at all @510visualz, but the thing stopping me from doing that - my heavy a$$ 5D4 files. Anytime I apply Dehancer and export, I’m not exaggerating when I say it quadruples the export time, at a minimum, and that’s if my video is a pretty basic talking head like this one. Literally the only time my M1 fans really spin up is when I use Dehancer in Premiere. Now, we’ll save that argument for another day. 😉😂
@@AnthonyToglife That is very interesting! I don't think I noticed that when I use it in FCP. But you right about that being a discussion for another day lol #TimeToSwitch lol
I shoot flash through a double diffused softbox for portraits and I sometimes have issues controlling the high lights so I feel this is a great solution, thanks.
Definitely worth a try @YogaLifeEtc! It will smooth the highlight transitions, but it won’t rid the hotspots. It’ll just smooth them a bit, which could be exactly what you’re looking for.
@@AnthonyToglife I am currently using a K&F CPL filter to control the hotspots for my portraits which works well but I am wondering if a black mist 1/4 might give better results or could even both together?
@@TheSunnySuttons well, a CPL reduces reflections, a black mist softens the intensity of highlights, so together they could work really well. I would put the CPL on the outside of the stack.
I can, yes. I've actually been playing around with different lighting as of late just to gain some experience in more cinematic/film lighting, so I definitely can do a video on this particular setup.
It’s a look worth having in your toolkit, honestly @ks_portraits. I use it for all my YT vids but I don’t always use it for client work. I like having options and although you can obtain a similar look in post, there’s nothing like getting a look organically in cam.
@veephohtography0610 do it bruh, they're definitely a good tool to have in the kit for a dynamic look. I just used it on a sunset shoot the other day, I loved the way it bloomed the natural highlights from the sun.
i compare every step mist, when you make lens 10-35mm make 1/2 35-85mm make 1/4 85-135mm make 1/8 135-super tele you dont have this filter becouse a flare was blooming
Too much talking man, not enough examples. You could just talk over a video while showing some work and real life examples otherwise it's useless just filming yourself waffling.
@@AnthonyToglife Well yes, thanks for stating the obvious, took wasting 10 mins of life trying to find relevant information in the video. Unfortunately you have to watch the video first to realise that.
@@AnthonyToglife I don't understand why people feel the need to leave this sort of unpleasant comment. Well done for your restrained replies (and btw I thought the video was really informative!).

Thank you Derek! I appreciate you being here.
Hey question is there a filter that can smooth skin ?

EXCELLENT info! Am I correct that you used the 1/4 Mist Filter on this video?
That is correct.
I shoot flash through a double diffused softbox for portraits and I sometimes have issues controlling the high lights so I feel this is a great solution, thanks.

your filming lighting in amazing. can you do a tutorial on how you set it up?
I can, yes. I've actually been playing around with different lighting as of late just to gain some experience in more cinematic/film lighting, so I definitely can do a video on this particular setup.
Oh ! Thank you man! I got totally confused with all the different names and turned out to be same thing.
Definitely the same thing @VishwasRavindran92, just marketing differences.
man, i never seen you run out of words lol. I'm all for these filters! nice video and explanation!
Hahaha, aye man, it happens sometimes 😂
Bro is majestic. Great video btw!
Hahaha, thank you @jonathanniakale4226.
I've always been close to pulling the trigger on some of these for my lenses. One day I'm actually going to do it lol

Go for it but if you have multiple lenses with different size threads then choose the biggest one and use step down rings like @AnthonyTogLife does.
Great video, Fam. Appreciate the information.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏾
Thanks for all the good info!
You are most welcome @ThomasFilbert!
Proud of you bro, keep it up
💪🏾🙏🏾
I use one once in a while. Love using them at night.
Big facts @iamfraserk!
Yeah buddy, dope video bro. i am looking into getting of these filters now.

I don’t understand what you’re saying here…
@@AnthonyToglife there are several lens characteristics with the right mist filter match so that it doesn't over bloom,
@@yohannes7410 got cha.
Looks good
Thank you! 🙏🏾
Cool filter!
Thank you Agnetha! 🙏🏾
good ahh video brother 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much! 🙏🏾
Please upload a video of making music video
Huh?
Too much talking man, not enough examples. You could just talk over a video while showing some work and real life examples otherwise it's useless just filming yourself waffling.
Or I could make my videos however I want and you can just not watch. Win, win. 😁

@@michamilka that’s how life goes. I think you’ll be fine.

Get ta kenko no5 it's much better
Huh?
Yapfest
That was my goal, I’m happy to have succeeded! 🙏🏾
dope video brother, i am definitely going to look at getting one these filters.
