Filming Cinematic Shots in Direct Sunlight | Are ND Filters Enough?

Filming in harsh daylight sun, you just bought some ND filters for your favorite lens and camera combo but the image looks terrible! ND filters are not enough. To get that cinematic shot, you need to learn how to manipulate light by diffusing it and bending it around your subject. In this video, I'll show you how to shoot in harsh sunlight and why it matters. Plus a few mistakes I made to hopefully help you learn from.

Hi there, we used the panel shown in the video. A second operator held it over the actor. It’s a 59x79 panel. Check out this video where I go over how to use a similar one. A Guide To Filming In Direct Sunlight

exactly "how" did you diffuse? You only said you used diffusion.

Hi there, we used the diffuser panel featured in the video. A second operator held it over the actors head. It’s a large 59x79 inch panel. Here’s a video of me using a smaller one and showing how to use it. A Guide To Filming In Direct Sunlight
