Single focus with 1.75 squeeze?  Just shut up & take my money already!  :)

Absolutely gorgeous!     I must try this some time with my A7, however, I only have the 8/19/1.5 so I imagine I'll need a pretty long taking lens.

Fwiw, I got my sony a7 last night & it's a joy to shoot with. My old Nikon 50mm f1.8 ais that I picked up for fifty bucks is a freakin' gem on this thing! "Razor sharp" comes to mind.

Hey guys, got another rant video, this time using two different anamorphics on the BMPC.    Shot in RAW mode, graded with Film Convert in Resolve.   I really like using this workflow... results are very satisfying.

 

Shot with the Panny 14-42.   Focus kept resetting, which is a major pain in the ass.   Next video will be shot on a Switar.

 

 

Anyway, every singer in the world is going to hate me for this :)

 

 

Almost to 12mm. If you crop slightly you can get it working with SLR Magic 12mm T1.6.

 

I haven't tried it yet but might be interesting to see what it looks like on the 14mm F2.5.

 

I also have a Cinegon 16mm F1.4 c-mount lens that should be a good match because of the small elements.

 

 

Yeah, I've got a few Switars & Som Berthiot lenses, my only concern is finding the proper step rings... if you've got any leads/ideas, I'd love to hear them!

Looking forward to it!  It does look sharp as hell, and will definitely be more practical than a dual focus.  I'm curious as to how wide a prime you can go with this on the Pocket :)

Pocket Raw sure does suck...

 

 

Shot Canon for years, including 50d raw. The Pocket blows Canon away, imo. Got a nice Oly 12mm for wide, no issues. Mainly doing music video.

Actually, it was all shot color anamorphic on 50d. We sludged up the "story" shots with b&w, grain & flicker for effect.

... and there's plenty of b&w anamorphic out there too :)

Used hook's lut in resolve, then a little FC after. I directed the color stuff, a buddy directed the zombie shots. I specifically shot mostly close up & intimate with the band to take advantage of that anamorphic space. Lots going on in the de-focused z axis :)

Shot this a few weeks back in 50d ML raw & a Bolex Anamorphic. Wouldn't change it for anything.

At this rate, we'll see full raw video on phones in 5 years.

Can shoot continuous on the 50d when it feels like it. Highly recommend the bmpc

So I grabbed a pocket cam... my next music video will most definitely be shot on it.   It's rock-solid stable & blows the 50d out of the water in terms of low light performance..... and it'll to a full 1080 resolution as well.   I'll get to shooting some anamorphic stuff on it soon, I'm still learning the damn thing :)

Shot this in 3:2 on the 50d running magic lantern raw with the Bolex anamorphic lens.   The 50d was a real pain to work with, the firmware is still fairly unstable & would usually take several tries on each shot to get the camera recording "continuous."   There have been a few firmware updates since this was shot & that seems to have stabilized things a bit, but it's not rock-solid reliable yet, IMO.

 

 

Anyway, the raw video was nice to work with in post:   Tons of latitude & just plain good looking.   The 3:2 aspect worked perfect with the Bolex as it's a 1.5X squeeze.

 

Enjoy!

Fwiw, shooting raw video on my 4 year old 50d blows the doors off anything "current" with h264. That includes my hacked gh2. Andrew is correct: the big Japanese camera manufacturers need to innovate or get the fuck out of the way.

I love the editing & the sfx.  Nice work.  The slow mo is very nice as well.  But some of the wider shots of the guy doing the jump tricks really look like video... that's Panasonic's fault, not yours! :)  Overall, I can say "great job!"  It's way beyond anything I can do...

 

 

 

That drove me nuts too. Turn on "exposure lock" ....I think that's what it's called, anyway.

Finally downloaded the video.   It looks like it's a big step up from the Century.   The sides of the Century really degenerate badly... this seems very clear by comarison.   Bring on the night shots!

 

  From a practical standpoint, it looks promising.   I've been shooting a music video on a hacked 50d/Bolex 1.5 this last weekend, and it really is a pain in the ass.  (it does look great, though.)   That's a three minute video:  Shooting a full length feature with that setup would be a nightmare.    I really look forward to the relase of the SLR adapter.  Even if it is 1.33 :)

This really needs a squeeze factor of 1.5 or 2x. I love the single focus from a practical standpoint though.

What Max said: does it work with Raw recording?

I'm curious if anyone is running an evf with Magic Lantern raw on the 50d. I really miss the articulating screen of the 60d and gh2, and would love to add an evf if possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Excellent. The trailer sold me on the gh2!

Beautiful work!  I love the grade.

 

I'm wondering if you find the ISCO a little too "warpy" in the sides on wide lenses with pans...  I've got one myself & yeah, it's sharp as hell, but I find some weird things going on in the sides with a 35mm taking lens.... then again, it might not be lens distortion but rolling shutter being exaggerated by the horizontal stretch.
