Introducing WindowCling™ Easy-To-Use Filters For Controlling Windowlight

We’ve all been there. The location has a bunch of windows and the daylight streaming into the scene is too bright. Rosco Cinegel and e-colour+ Neutral Density Filters have been used to address this issue for decades – but now we have a new Easy-To-Use solution: Rosco WindowCling!

 WindowCling is manufactured using an ultra-thin, Hi-Tack polyester that enables it to temporarily attach to glass or plastic windowpanes via static electricity. This makes it a simple solution for modifying the amount of daylight coming through the window. It’s available in three standard neutral densities – ND3 (1-stop), ND6 (2-stops) & ND9 (3 stops) – as well as a unique Day For Night (D/N) layer – and it comes in 60” x 25’ (1.52 x 7.62M) rolls. 

Rosco WindowCling is available in three standard neutral densities and a unique Day For Night layer.

Easy To Apply

Rosco WindowCling is positioned on the window and cut to size using a matte knife.

Rosco WindowCling uses the power of static electricity to adhere to windowpanes. No more need for soapy water or flat, syrupy clear soda products that attract ants. You don’t even need to pre-cut to size before installation. Just clean & buff the windows – position the WindowCling onto the pane – and then use a matte knife to cut the WindowCling to size.

Because the thin WindowCling films are so lightweight, they will cling to windows for days and weeks if left undisturbed. And, because there isn’t any sort of adhesive, the WindowCling filters can be removed just as easily and re-rolled for future use on your next project.

Stackable Window Control

Rosco WindowCling filters are layered to quickly and easily adjust the window light.

 Oftentimes, the brightness level of windowlight changes throughout the day, so filmmakers need a window control solution that they can use to adjust on the fly. In the past, stacking NDs has proven difficult because unwanted color shifts can happen as you add layers of ND. Rosco WindowCling filters have been engineered to cling and layer on top of each other – up to eight stops! This enables filmmakers to quickly and easily adjust their windowlight as the brightness levels change throughout the day. 

A Unique Day For Night Gel Solution

The left side of the window features Rosco WindowCling N.9 filter, while the right side combines the N.9 filter with a "Day For Night" filter, darkening the window to create the appearance of nighttime outside.

WindowCling is available in three standard Neutral Densities – N.3, N.6 & N.9 – but it’s also available in D/N rolls that enable filmmakers to darken the windows to make it look like it’s night outside. This unique Day For Night gel layer not only lowers the overall light level of the window by 2.5 stops – it also adds a tint of steel blue to mimic the coloration of moonlight.

So, the next time you need to transform daylight to moonlight for a Day For Night shoot - simply install the WindowCling D/N Layer onto the window, then stack the appropriate WindowCling ND on top to achieve the desired windowlight level needed for the scene.
