What is the real secret to getting cinematic video? A lot of things go into achieving cinematic images, lenses, aperture, frame rate, lighting and more. But in this video I want to talk about what could be described as the cherry on the cake.

I'm talking about diffusion filters and in this case the 7Artisans Black Mist filters. Many YouTubers say diffusion is the secret to their cinematic images.

I was not paid by 7Artisans to make this video. Everything in the video is my own opinion.
