We have been serving the motion-picture, television, and professional still-photo communities since 2001.
We are a sales, rental, and service-driven company, but we are better known for our technical support,
our unique range of hard-to-find filters, and the introduction of the BLUE STREAK  Filter, as well as 
our VARI-COLOR polarizers.            _______________________________________________________________________________

  THE BLUE STREAK FILTER 
is a special-effect filter designed to help camera professionals create the effect of an anamorphic flare.
It is a kin to the clear streak filter which is historically known as a two-point star effect. 
Because of its radiant cobalt color, the Blue streak has become one of the most popular special-effect
filters in today's image-making market.
Its end result is influenced by the size, scope, and intensity of the light source. But many camera professionals have discovered interesting techniques that enable the Blue Streak to tastefully spice-up a scene.

The Blue streak generally comes in 3 strengths: 1mm (ROBUST), 2mm (CONSERVATIVE), 3mm (MILD).
