Vadim Joy Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) Can somebody list good filters to use when shooting day for night in color? I know that with black and white film day-for-night was easy done by using a red filter and under-exposing by half a stop. Any ideas how to do it with color cameras or film?

Joerg Polzfusz Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 The default way was to use blue filters (e.g. 80a) and to underexpose by one stop. However there are now specialised filters for this task: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_for_night http://www.tiffen.com/dayfornight_pressrel.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vadim Joy Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 I just bought good polarizing filter, hope that should do the trick. Check out this video test. It's completely color corrected for night in post. Shot during the day. https://vimeo.com/69831177 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
