#nab2026 is about to start! #day1

Introducing VAPOUR ✨ Our new cine diffusion filter designed to create a soft, atmospheric image with a fine, controlled haze. It gently reduces contrast while preserving deep blacks and natural skin tones. The result is a modern, cinematic look that adds depth and texture without compromising clarity. A single optimized strength ensures consistent, repeatable results across all formats. Now available for pre-order. Visit us at @lens_summit (March 20-21, Portland), at @nabshow (April 19-22, Las Vegas) and at @_eurocine_ (May 8-9, Budapest) #SchneiderKreuznach #VapourFilter #DiffusionFilter #Cinematography

During our prep period for Stranger Things 5 I was looking for a unique way to represent Will’s tunnel vision as he goes into a trance. I was lucky to find these new prototype Schneider filters called the Center Spot Diopters. I tried stacking two of them with different diameters and simply holding it up in front of the lens while shaking it back and forth, and it gave us exactly what we were after. That became our signature look for Will’s trance and it allowed us to ramp up the effect mid shot. By doing it in camera we got a really nice organic interaction between all the practical in the background and the optics. When Will collapses we used the Doggicam body mount to lock in to Willl’s perspective as he falls. For the “Demovision” POV shots the Duffer Brothers referenced the frenetic Evil Dead 2 POV shots through the woods. We needed the camera to go up to 30 mph and low to the ground. We worked with champion FPV drone pilot Blake Sams (@nubbfpv ) who did an amazing job not just going low and fast but was even able to simulate the Demorogon’s gallop. We shot these on the Sony FX6 so that we could get away with shooting dusk at 12,800 ISO and avoid lighting huge stretches of woods and road for these quick shots. Huge thank you to @keslowcamera , @schneideroptics , @cinemoves and @lightcraft.tv , @doggicam_systems we couldn’t have done any of this without you!. . . @strangerthingstv @netflix #cinematography

The True-Streak® Gold filters are a beautiful set of colored streaks to add a warm pop to scenes where appropriate. They come in 1mm, 2mm, 3mm and 4mm strengths. 1mm is actually the strongest effect and the 4mm is the lightest.
