Schneider 4x5.65" Day for Night Water White Glass Filter

The Schneider Optics 4x5.65" Day for Night Water White Glass Filter is used by cinematographers to simulate nighttime moonlit scenes, while actually shooting during daylight. Shooting during daylight can dramatically reduce the need for lighting and therefore lower production costs.

This filter combines a slight aquamarine tint with neutral density for more realistic night time illusion. It reduces exposure by 4 stops, although exposure compensation is typically only 2 stops, resulting in underexposure that enhances the illusion. When doing Day for Night shots it is essential to control sky exposures, often by leaving the sky out of the shot. If the sky must be in the shot, ND Grad filters and Polarizing filters can be used to darken the sky. Industry standard special effect filter
Unique visual effect makes this a highly prized filter for certain scenarios
Schneider solid color filters feature crystal clear, water-white optical glass, protected against edge-chipping and delamination by Schneider's unique Edge Seal, which also significantly reduces edge reflections and flare
Schneider filters are ground and polished to a precise flatness and plane parallelism
Designed and manufactured with the highest possible degree of consistency, you can swap like filters mid-shoot with no discernible variation in color or effect.
