The Tiffen 82mm Smoque 1 Filter is a specialized diffusion tool designed to simulate the presence of smoke or haze within a frame. Whether you are looking to create a moody atmosphere or a gritty environment, this filter provides a realistic alternative to theatrical smoke generators like cookies, pellets, or aerosols. It allows cinematographers to achieve a consistent look without the unpredictability of physical smoke.
Using the Smoque filter is particularly advantageous in outdoor settings or locations where wind prevents physical smoke from settling. By supplementing or replacing traditional smoke machines, you can maintain a more comfortable and predictable set environment. This eliminates the release of solid particles into the air, making it a safer choice for talent and crew while ensuring your visual style remains uniform across every take.
Built to professional standards, this filter is manufactured using Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore technology. This process involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and grinding it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. The result is exceptional clarity and color fidelity that meets the demands of high-resolution cinematography.
