SANDMAN FILM SCHOOL new episode! Please subscribe.

This week we talk about using a circular polarizing filter to shoot reflecting surfaces and for your outdoor scenes. The one I use is a Tiffen 58mm and costs around 50$.

See you next Thursday!

  • What is the different uses of a circular polarizer and a linear polarizer? I assume the both have a ring that allows you to turn them. Which one did you use in your video?

  • @lipstermansfield The linear one will render the metering (exposition etc) of you camera inoperative (and the autofocus too). I use a circular polarizing filter so the camera works as if no filter was on.

  • Thanks all for your comments! Sorry if I haven't been around lately. Very busy week.

    Next episode will be up in a few :D

    Peace

see all

  • I would have thought the linear polarisation lens would block window reflections not a circular polarisation lens.

  • Nice video!

    I once used polfilters - than threw them away "There should be no glass between the object, the lense and the sensor". Now I use them again, coz they make sense.

  • I use the filter all the time to reduce the glare of products I'm reviewing, or to cut glare from glasses. And for outdoor use as you stated, because the sky just looks so much better. It's also great around water. I'm one of the few people that actually use filters on video cameras. hopefully you cover ND soon

  • your tips are great :) thanks

  • Your tips really do it! You know I have got a fist class Abo for your channel. I always get informed by email. This is my only email Abo, bc it would be sad to miss one episode.

  • Goddammit, Sandman! Everytime I watch your videos now, I go all day: "Welcome to the Sandman Film School. The free video blog on filmmaking!" lol... Where'd you get that voice actor?

  • I was wondering whether or not to invest in one of these, i think i shall after this. Great vid :D
