Description:
This rotatable anamorphic-style stripe filter from Walking Way adds a cinematic horizontal blue flare to bright highlights, helping filmmakers and videographers introduce mood and narrative depth to footage. It fits 62 mm threads and allows precise angle adjustment to align the streaks with your composition, making it useful for music videos, commercials and creative short films.
Key Points
The filter reproduces an anamorphic flare effect without the need for costly anamorphic lenses. You can rotate the front ring to control the direction of the blue streak, placing the light flare exactly where it complements the frame. The double-thread design means you can stack other filters on top for diffusion or colour grading experiments, and you can still screw on lens caps while the filter is attached for quick protection between takes.
Build quality focuses on professional use. The optical glass aims to preserve image clarity while adding the streak effect, and the aluminium alloy frame keeps weight low and mounting smooth. Consider that this effect works best with distinct point light sources and may be subtler under diffuse or low-contrast lighting, according to typical use cases. 🎬

Practical Tips
For stronger or more complex flares, stack the stripe filter with a diffusion filter or a mild ND to control exposure while keeping highlights. Rotate the front ring slowly while watching the monitor to find the best alignment with reflections or light sources. If you need a more natural look, reduce exposure on highlights or use softer lights to avoid overly harsh streaks. 🌃
When shooting handheld, be mindful of potential lens flare across the frame and adjust camera angles to prevent unintended flare crossing subjects. For night exteriors or neon-lit interiors the blue streak can enhance atmosphere, but it may be less noticeable in flat daylight scenes. Also, test the filter on a still image first to find the angle and stacking combinations that suit your project. 📷.
