The New Tiffen Smoque Filter

Creates the Look of Smoke,

Without the Hassle

The new Tiffen Smoque filter produces a smoke-like effect without the cost and hassle of a generator or the smoke it produces.

Mechanical smoke generators are often used to add atmospheric haze to a scene. This could be for enhanced real- ism in places where smoke is normally encountered, like a nightclub, or the scene of a fire. Most often, the smoke is added to create a certain "look." The difficulty and cost of using this equip- ment and the fact that it is less desirable to work in a smoke-filled environment make the new Tiffen Smoque filters really valuable as a way to get a similar look without the need for environmen- tally-unfriendly equipment.

Available in 4 grades in professional motion picture, television and screw- in sizes, the new Tiffen Smoque filters can be used to create the look alone, or in addition to a more modest application of real smoke. They allow greater base level consistency especially outdoors in a wind, and you don’t have to wait for it to settle or to be replen- ished, as with real smoke. Make the shot while you make your talent and crew more comfortable with the new Tiffen Smoque filters.

The effect of the lighter grades is subtle, with the higher grades becoming grad- ually more noticeable, all capable of providing a beautiful image.
