    • Thanks for sharing. I felt like this actually made a strong case for the Remus lenses! I found that look to be way more interesting. I'd still miss that 2x stretch though. You did a really nice job here. It's very closely matched! But I think it's the bokeh and the pincushion distortion that sells the effect for me. I think you've made a solid case to me for going with a more vanilla modern anamorphic lens (maybe a 1.8x) and dirtying it up in post. But at that price point, I think I'll rent on a project by project basis. The old school adapters are still inexpensive enough to own. I've discovered in my EOS-M that ML has a 1.175:1 aspect ratio available. With a 2x stretch, that's 2.35! It's very clean. Unfortunately the quality of the HDMI stream from this camera is pretty terrible and difficult to focus with, so I'll see if I can get the same thing from my 5Diii. Also, I spent way too much money ordering all of the parts for Lucas Pfaff's PFocus B anamorphic focuser with the hope that I could successfully assemble it and have a nice universal focuser for any cheap anamorphic adapter. However, I accidentally ordered it to be printed with 100% infill, so I fear that it's going to be a brick. But we'll see, maybe it will surprise me. If I did it again, I would only go this route if I had a 3D printer at home, or a friend who had one. From a cost standpoint, it doesn't make sense to order it from a site like Shapeways. @kyeHave you ever thought about purchasing a cheap 2x adapter? Given what I know of your aesthetic, I think you'd get pulled in!
    • To further elaborate on what I was saying about matching some elements in post, here's an attempt to bring the Sirui closer to the look of the B&H.  It's not perfect but it's definitely closer. I've played with contrast / levels / colours / diffusion.  The only tools used should be available in all NLEs: Lift Gamma Gain wheels Log wheels WB controls Contrast control Curves Added a Gaussian Blur at 36% opacity for the diffusion / halation / glow effect B&H Original: Sirui (graded to match): Sirui Original:
    • Shot on A74 an Helios 44 First spotify data shows that the song is somehow listened to in Japan - so if you know anyone in that area...   
    • Happy Thursday Everyone, I've created some cool new metal texture images and uploaded them onto this page on my site: TXR - METAL - (Tile-able) https://soundimage.org/txr-metal-seamless/ As always, they're 100% free to use with attribution, just like my thousands of other images, music tracks and sounds. Speaking of which, I have... BIG NEWS -- FREE HIGHER-QUALITY OGG TRACKS ARE ON THEIR WAY! For those of you who use my music tracks, specifically my looping ones... Wordpress apparently now supports Ogg music files, so I'm in the process of replacing all my looping Mp3 tracks on my site with even higher-quality Ogg versions! Besides sounding more rich and full, the Ogg versions always loop seamlessly in game engines...(Mp3 files sometimes need to be edited...this is due to the Mp3 encoding process which sometimes discards a tiny bit of audio information at the looping point...very annoying.) Anyhow, I'm very excited to be able to make the higher-quality Ogg versions available to my fellow creatives! Standard tracks (and those that don't have to loop seamlessly) will remain in Mp3 format so video creators can use them... (Premiere doesn't seem to support the Ogg format.) For those of you who want to bulk-download all of my Ogg tracks at once, my Ogg Music packs will still be available. It's taking some time, but I'm making very good progress...hopefully I'll have all my looping game music tracks converted soon. Enjoy!  😄
    • I guess that people must have been complaining to Panasonic that the S9 was too affordable and they really needed the same thing, but more expensive.  😉
