NiSi Cine Filter Allure Streak Blue 2mm 6x6" — creates prominent horizontal blue streaks
The NiSi Cine Filter Allure Streak Blue 2mm 6x6" produces pronounced, elongated blue streaks that extend horizontally from point light sources. You use it perpendicular to lights such as the sun, a light bulb, or a candle. In practice, this placement creates an effect similar to recording with an anamorphic lens, drawing the viewer's eye toward highlights in the frame.
How the filter works and when to use it
The filter contains closely spaced lines that shape and stretch highlights. When a bright, high-contrast point light is present in the scene, the filter turns that highlight into symmetric, horizontal streaks. Cinematographers and photographers commonly use this effect to emphasize a subject, enhance a mood, or introduce a cinematic highlight without changing lenses.
Because the filter is designed to be used perpendicular to a point light source, it works best when the light stands out from the surrounding image. In other words, scenes with distinct highlights and strong contrast will show the effect most clearly.
Key features and benefits
- Creates elongated, symmetric streaks that extend horizontally from point light sources.
- Produces blue-colored streaks to add a specific color character to highlights.
- Allows an anamorphic-style highlight effect without using anamorphic lenses, enabling similar visual accents in-camera.
- Lines within the filter are placed 2mm apart to produce the streak pattern.

Practical use cases
Use this filter when you want to emphasize highlights in night scenes, interiors with practical lamps, candlelit setups, or any shot that includes small, bright light sources. It is especially useful for filmmakers and photographers who want an anamorphic-like streak effect without swapping to an anamorphic lens.

FAQ
Question: How should I position the NiSi Allure Streak Filter to get the best effect?
Answer: Position the filter perpendicular to the point light source, such as the sun, a light bulb, or a candle. This orientation produces the symmetric horizontal streaks the filter is designed to create. For most noticeable results, use it where the light forms a distinct, high-contrast highlight against the scene.
Question: Will this give the same look as an anamorphic lens?
Answer: The filter allows highlights to appear with an anamorphic-style streak, producing elongated horizontal highlights similar to those from anamorphic optics. It provides that specific highlight effect without requiring an anamorphic lens, although it does not duplicate all characteristics of anamorphic lenses.
Question: What color will the streaks be in my footage or photos?
Answer: The Allure Streak Filter produces blue-colored streaks. The blue tint appears specifically in the elongated highlights created from point light sources.
Question: Is any storage or protection included with the filter?
Answer: Yes, the filter comes with a padded pouch included for storage and transport to protect the filter when it is not in use.
