Which filters do I need?

[Guest]

I am going to buy a chrosziel matte box for my Ag-DVX 100a and I also want to include a set of filters in my wish list...
In your opinion, which filters should I need to achieve the cleanest and most cine-like look?
I am in the process to shoot my first short-film but I need these accessories also for my everyday job... basically Tv spots and corporate videos.
I thank all of you for your help
keep up with the good work!

..well if you want to shoot clean, then you shouldnt really be using any sort of filters, with the exception of a nice polarizing filter, and a selection of nd filters for glare and light control. the dvx looks "cine-like" (in 24p modes)right out of the box, so you dont really have to worry about that

Personally, I shoot clean aside from additional ND's and add adjustments to overall look in post...but that depends on your post setup. my 2 cents

I shoot "clean" 99% of the time. With a matte box, probably the most useful filters are the ND Grads, so you can control sky highlights, etc.

Other filters that are interesting and may provide some of the film look you're looking for would include the black pro-mist, or maybe a warm/soft fx for interviews.
