A guy called Torsten Aslaksen has invented a camera that is able to filter out all the wavelengths that is not desired. Do you wan't a scene with red light only, that can be done. Or maybe a scene with all the wavelengths except for just red, which is also possible. Or all colors between blue and green, while excluding all the others. Instead of using a filter, the camera itself can be the filter.
Some directors, like using a spesific color in some scene, like Guillermo Del Toro which sometimes films a scene as if it was filmed through a lens of amber. Perhaps this could make it easier to shoot similar stuff even under the open sky?
As far as I can tell, the camera (which works in real time) is not originally meant for filming movies, but I can't see why the technology couldn't be fused with a film or video camera.
"The light from a fluorescent tube has certain wavelengths. Thus we can construct a camera that only sees this light, or who sees anything other than that."
