- BIGGEST Filmmaking Secret Revealed! POLARIZERS!
We use B+W circular polarizer. They get rid of the reflections from water, windows, and most plants/green things. We use them whenever the sun is out. When buying a polarizer make sure to get the right size for the lens that you own. I feel if your going to spend the money and buy an expensive lens, it's worth spending the extra money to buy a polarizer of the same quality to match your lens, otherwise your lens won't be as clear. Plan on spending about 130 dollars US for one.
B+W 77mm Circular Polarizer

-I would get two controllers if possible to have the ability to have someone control the camera as well.
DJI Phantom 4: http:amzn.to/1RY2AEm
3DR Solo:

If you have a very small budget and don't have enough to buy a big/medium drone, this is an awesome option to learn how to fly for under $100.00. They have a small camera on them, I would use them not for the camera but strictly to learn how to fly.

I use Hoya Polarizer, they are great as well.
I recommend to buy the size your biggest lens has and then buy step-up rings for the other lenses.
It doesn't get rid of certain wavelengths Devin, it just gets rid of certain directions of light :)
+Alex S Not directions Alex, polarisations!
+robieb0i I suppose you could say direction of polarisation
+Alex S fuckin hate comments like yours
***** I'm sorry for wanting to promote the correct information, feel free to continue living in your world of idiotic naivety.
And the worse thing you did was to give his comment attention - thereby empowering his statement with your own words - best thing to do in these situations is to completely ignore things that vex us. We have too many other worries in life to bother about minute details. Great info though I'm going to order on enow.
This video earns a like for Devin's singing.
+Flashwing YES!
I used to have a cheap $8 Bower Polarizer. And one time while I was shooting a wedding, I put it on my lens, to try it out. 15 minutes after I put it on, I left the camera on the tripod, while I was searching for something in my bag. And one kid accidentally pushed over my camera and it fell down on a hard ground, lens first. The Polarizer was completely destroyed, I had problems removing it from the lens. But once I removed it, the lens was 100% fine :)
+Hrvoje Bazina Happened to me too...
You're awesome for taking the time to share your knowledge. Thanks Dev
Awesome stuff, these educational videos. Thank you! :)
Thanks for sharing super great tips man. Keep up the good work!
Awesome, thanks for sharing your wisdom :)!
thanks so much for sharing these lessons and tips, people are usually quiet about how they do things because they dont want competition but its so helpful to us who love film, thanks!
I've been following you for years but giving out tips like those, it's quite remarkable Devin; Thank you ;)
all your tutorials so informative thanx
I love these instructional videos, thank you for doing them!
Love it! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for these videos devin, I hope there are some with how you edit videos coming soon.
Thanks for the really great video post - I learnt a lot and you improved my very basic skills no end in this and the White balance vid. Cheers!
awesome! thanks for the tips and great videos!!!
After watching this video while on vacation in Venice Italy I bought one and the photos and videos after that look amazing. Thank you and keep this amazing tutorials coming.
Thanks for these great video, great info. New Supertramp shirt?
I always use a ND filter when shooting outside so that I can be wide open. Now it looks like you are using the polarizer a lot. Do you ever stack the two?
+1
+GuillaumeErard.com - Aikido and Life in Japan I think the Red Dragon has built in ND's :)
+HamDerDanskeren nope they dong I know this because I'm a red camera customer
+GuillaumeErard.com - Aikido and Life in Japan If you us a variable ND I think you'll get a similar effect as a polarizer...
No you wont.
Thank you Devin!! Sitting here every single evening with pencil and paper and learning so much from you! Supertramp Film Academy!! Cheap and the best on the market :P
Good info! Think I might have to pick one up now, always dealing with those overexposed skies etc.
Thanks for the great video Devin! It means a lot that you'd spend the time to make this and share what you've learned. Do you use polarizers on your inspire 1? I use an ND8 most of the time since I can't control aperture on my Phantom 3 Pro. If I had an Inspire with an X5 that has aperture control then I would definitely look into polarizers. Not having remote control over the effect of the polarizer makes it seem like it's much less effective too though. I love my GH4 with speedbooster, but one of the main drawbacks is putting a variable ND or polarizer causes ugly green flares when pointing anywhere near a light source like the sun
Thank u very much for your videos Devin. It really helps. You explain things with a cheerful mood, and it is very pleasant. Question 1, can u use the Polarizer and the nd filter together ? Second question will you do a glidecam tutorial or lessons ? Peace from France
awesome video! thank you for sharing!
FINALLY! Secrest of filmmaking from Devin! I was waiting for this during a few years *-*
Thank you for clearing this up! awesome!
Wow, thank you so much for this video, it was really eye-opening!
Wow, I didn't realize a polarizer had the much of an effect. Supper awesome examples!
I have wanted a polarizer for about a year now but now I've seen this video I'm definitely going to get it! Thanks for the explanation Devin!
Hey, love the content and your videos! Would like to just point out that it doesn't actually filter out wavelengths or frequencies of lights, but rather directions. Normally light comes in at all angles (unpolarized), but when it hits a surface like the top of a lake, the light that's bounced back is mostly one direction.
The polarizer has a bunch of slits in a certain direction so as you turn it around you only let one 'direction' of light through, so you can do things like get rid of the sun's glare off the land which is polarized in one direction. Also very useful for filming subjects through windows, as you can cut through the glare and reflections as they're polarized a certain angle.
This's how many computer monitors work as well; hold a polarizing filter up to your computer screen or monitor and you can rotate to a certain angle where you can't see the light any more. You can also remove the polarizing film that's in most monitors and grab some glasses with polarized lenses to have a screen that looks completely white to everyone but you, but I digress.
Dude, this was awesome! I never knew. Thank you for sharing.
Really good one Devin!
great tip Davin thank you for sharing!
This helped so much! I was wondering how people do this. Thank you Devin! Also, when will you come out with a tutorial about Glidecams?
best tutorials thanks Devin !
That background music track is amazing! Where can we buy a copy? ;)
Hey Devin, can you do a stabilization tutorial please?
+KingTutsPro search for "devin glidecam" and you'll find plenty
thank you for doing these videos they are awesome
I am impressed how good your tutorials are!
thanks for these videos they help a lot with my filming ☺😊
Awesome video! helped a lot! :)
This is so good Kevin. thank you!!
His name is Devin ->D
Sorry Mr_ KnoName. LOL
DEVIN, we love you. Keep up the good work!!
Wow great insight. Even though this vid is 7 years old… super relevant still.
Did you have any ND stacked or in body ND or strictly the polarizer?
Thanks!
To save money just buy the largest diameter available and get cheap step up/down rings to match smaller lens diameters.
Pt Platnium multi-coating circular polarizer 58mm is the one i just grabbed, no camera yet but soon to arrive, i really hope its a decent one, that warranty ate up all my budget for accessories.
Great lessons !
WOW great tutorial!
You can get ring adapters for pretty much any lens size and filter size combination you can think of for a lot cheaper than buying a new filter for each lens you have.
Great content. I wonder whats your shutter speed setting on the waterfall? It falls softly. It looked more than one stop
Very well done! thank you! they're powerful tools for people who like in camera effects vs photoshop
Great eplenation!
Sweet vid! Circular polarizers are awesome. Thats how i massively improved my car photos. On a side note, I just recently got a canon G7x and it has a built in ND filter which i thought was a pretty cool feature.
Omg thank you so much!!! I just bought it because of you!!!
Should I get hybrid ND/Polarizer or separate ND & separate Polarizer? I want to film various beautiful places in Japan and sometimes indoor and love the film look. Sometimes I will film water places. Thanks.
Thank you for the great video. May I kindly as if these filters help reducing reflections/double exposures on windows when shooting video at night please?
Jerome Baldsing I’d like to know too. Did you find out?
ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY
yes yes yes
EKSPECIALLY
eggspecially
Aksualy
Diffusers too! Tiffen make amazing diffusers
Great explanation! Are there times though where you have to decide whether you want to use a polarizer vs a ND filter? I'm using a Osmo Pocket and some of the accessories seem to only allow me one or the other.
never knew just how much they change the scene, thank you devin
I'm not used to D-SLR's but I'm thinking to buy a basic D-SLR. I was looking at Canon 1200d Nikon d3300 & Sony slt a58. Which one would you recommend? Thank you.
@Devingraham - Hi Devin, I think by accident you have written 88mm instead of 82mm (6:52) . Thanks for finding time to give tutorial to us. All your videos of supertramp are top notch. I absolutely love your work. I am inspired by your talk at WSU. Hoping you would come once to U.K, to give your talk ^_^.
Hello Master ..
U R always so inspiring... any thing regarding a Glidecam setup and operation ...
explaining the droptime, balancing, and other tips and trick ... please! :)
Thanks
Wow, they make a big difference. I'm still watching the video, so you might answer this but how do you make a dark, cloudy day look better?
+Teamsuper, I've watched multiple videos on ND Filters/Polarizers. Your's was one of thee most well explained. I recently purchased a Polar Pro Nd & Polarizer combo. It worked, but not ideally - I was doing a photo shoot at the beach, but the sun wasn't out. I'll see if the purchase was worth it on the next sunny day we have here in Ohio. Keep teaching. Peace.
Thank you very much!!!
HAMA makes polarizers for most lens-diameters, starting at around 45€.
Sure, they are not as strong as B+W, but they're pretty good (and I use them all the time for reflective surfaces).
Great tutorial Devin, want a nd filters tutorial
Which setting is good for doing makeup tutorial to get right colours I have 80d canon how to shoot flawless skin
what do u think of Square polarizers?? specially for 14mm lenses. what would u recommend??
Thank you Devin!!
I read reviews saying CPL aren't as effective on ultra wide lenses. How much does it impact on the area in frame? Hence that's the only question holding me back for a year on getting one.
Good hint if you are on a budget - you can buy filter only for your biggest lens (82 mm) and then you need ring adapters (super cheap) from 77mm to 82mm for example.
WOW - man amazing -!!! if I am inside a car? and want to selfy myself would a polariser stablize my light changes as I travel?
so the darkness can be a plus, like a 1 stop ND and polarizer. Nice. I'm just going to get the $23 Tiffen for my Sony kit lens, cus, well, it's a kit lens and is pretty soft to begin with
You can get step down rings which will let you mount your 82mm filter on anything smaller like a 49mm filter thread lens. Step down rings are a lot cheaper than new filters.
Hey Devin, great video! Please make an episode about ND filters and especially about variable ones, if you use them. :)
I've had this one break before protecting my lens. It's a great lens protector too.
Do you use this filter with the same color correction settings as previously mentioned in your in-camera CC video?
Whaaaat?! I had nooo idea of this! Obv a newbie to film lol Gahhh i love these videos!
thank you very much!i had a cheap POL Filter but now i use the B+W onebut i noticed that from the first day the B+W filter is very hard to cleanor let me say there is always some dirt glued to it even when i use a Special brush , air blower , or window leather i never have it 100% cleanthe cheap filter was much easier to cleando you have a sugestion for me?would be thankful for some adviseregards Günter
Devin will it be a good idea to buy a step up ring set (52, 58, 62, 67, 72 and 77 to 82mm) so you just buy a 82mm filter and you can use it on your other lenses that have less diameter ??
It's generally better to have different size filters for different lenses so you don't have to fiddle with adapters and don't have to worry about switching everything whenever you want to switch lenses. Sometimes you'll find your lenses having matching diameters anyways and you can buy 2 filters that work quickly with 4 lenses.
I use clear B + W filters on all my lenses for protection when not using a polarizer or an ND. It has saved my Canon elements many times.
Should you still use a polarizer when filming flat? I would assume yes, just making sure.
I wat ask a question can this B+W 52mm XS-Pro HTC Kaesemann Circular Polarizer with
Multi-Resistant Nano Coating be use for go pro hero 7
Which polarizers do you recommend for the Phantom 4 drone?
The technical side:
A polarizer filters monopolarized light. This means it many filters reflactions from every non-metallic surface like water or glass. It also filters the reflaction of the sky on leaves which makes them seem more green. Furthermore it filters the light which is reflected by particles in the sky making the sky seem more blue.
You need to buy a circular polarizer as non-circular polarizers can mess with your autofocus and whitebalance.
You can stack a polarizer with any other polarizer. you can stack to polarizers to make get an adjustable "sunglass" for your camera (for shooting photography in snow for example).
Cool tip 👍
i think you should check out slr magic variable nd mark ii it has polarizer together with the nd
I'm amazed by how this is not more common knowledge. Awesome. Curious to see how a cheaper option looks like
Do polarizers limit your freedom when it comes to color grading? I noticed that in most of your examples it appears to be very saturated and contrasty. It looks great, however, if you are planning on doing some heavy grading would you recommend just using a strong ND?
+Isaac Carlton no they do not impact gradng at all. The polarizer gives certain looks that fit some type of videos and nd works for some.
Very true! Polarizers are the best!
which filter is best for daylight long exposure photography?
ECKSPECIALY
And "Assessories". Does he realize that's backwards?
I think he just has a slight speech impediment.
Yes, I don't mean to make fun of it. I just thought it was interesting that it was backwards. A speech-language pathologist could tell him to try to switch them, since he is clearly capable of both.
Devin, do you use ND filters to get the shutter speed you want?
usually you want to buy one for the biggest diameter lens you have and use step up rings to us it on your smaller lenses
You might forgot a super common filter in in cinematography, a diffusion filter like tiffen pro mist. used nearly in every commercial.
Is it ok to leave it on while filming at night to protect the lens? Doesn't adversely affect the shot?
Cheers, great channel 👍
Would make sense to get 82mm filters and get additional step up rings. That way you are able to use one filter on every lens you got ;)
I bought an ND filter for my 50mm 1.4 to be abble to open in 1.4.
If I want to open in 1.4 with a Polarizer, is it possible too?
Hey Devin, these videos are amazing!
In the future, would you be able to make a video on whether going to film school is worth it, and how to make contacts within the film world?
thanks!
