NiSi Cine Filter Allure Streak Orange 2mm 4x5.65" – Creates elongated orange horizontal streaks from point light sources

The NiSi Cine Filter Allure Streak Orange produces prominent, horizontal orange streaks from individual point light sources. You can use it to emphasize highlights in a frame or to simulate the streaking effect commonly associated with anamorphic lenses. The filter's internal lines sit 2mm apart to form the streak pattern.

How the streak effect is created

The filter is designed to be used perpendicular to a point light source. Examples of suitable point sources include the sun, a light bulb, or a candle. When placed in front of such a light, the filter creates elongated streaks that extend symmetrically and horizontally from each bright point. This draws visual attention to specific parts of the frame or adds a distinct cinematic look to a scene.

When to use this filter

Use the Allure Streak Orange filter when you need to highlight bright points of contrast in your image. It works best on highlights that have a clear contrast with the surrounding scene. Many cinematographers and photographers choose this filter to achieve an anamorphic-like highlight effect without using anamorphic lenses.

Key features

• Draws attention to a specific part of the frame, or can create a visually dramatic effect
• Allows the effect of anamorphic optics
• Creates orange-colored streaks
• Padded pouch included for storage and transport

Usage tips

Position the filter so it is perpendicular to the chosen point light source to maximize the horizontal streak effect. The filter produces the most noticeable results when the highlight contrasts strongly with the surrounding image. Because the streaks are orange, consider how that tint interacts with your scene’s color balance and overall lighting.
