ND filter for film look on DSLR
-
Apologies if i have posted this before. I cannot find it with a search
By how much would an ND filter need to stop down to shoot something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5znGcbvBusg” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false; in daylight
Shooting video 25 FPS and 1/50 of a second on a Nikon D3200 with big aperture for shallow dof. For example a cokin ND8 blocks 3 stops . Would that be enough? I know there is more to film look than that but one has to start somewhereI don’t think three stops would be enough. I was taking photos earlier today and it was overcast, at an aperture of f/4 the shutter speed was 1/500 so even a 3 stop reduction isn’t enough to get to 1/50 at f/4 even.
Your best option I reckon is to look at a variable ND filter http://www.hoyafilter.com/hoya/products/ndfilters/variabledensityfilter/” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false; that one claims 1.5 to 9 stops, and there are other manufacturers out there. I haven’t used one myself but have seen a few people shooting video on DSLRs using them, nice and handy to change the number of stops too as light conditions change.
I think that the variable stop filters are commonly used with video tbh. I’d love to get into it but it sounds like having to get even more gear :)

You could also use for stills of waterfalls etc?
