Schneider Black Frost 1/8 in 4 × 5.65″ format for matte box is a stylization filter that adds flare to lights, softens colors and reduces contrast while blacks stay deep. It uses a fine black haze and is designed to avoid heavy scatter and veiling. Strength 1/8 is the subtlest strength in the range – the effect is discreet and nearly unnoticeable.
The filter slots into a 4 × 5.65″ matte box and comes with a pouch. It is primarily a mood filter – the effect is strongest with practicals and backlight. The strength of the effect is set by the grade chosen.
