Go pro anamorphic used on concept trailer 

Small proof of concept piece that may be of interest.
Using BMPCC, Eos 5D3 with magic lantern and GH4&5.

i see now, thanks  again for  taking the time

Well, with a 2X stretch you will use 1290x1080pixels vs 1920x803 letterboxed. That's 1.3mp vs 2mp. A 1.33 strech anamorphic lens is another story, I think that would look better.

sorry im missing something, but why wouldn't we be using 1920x1080 pixels stretched out by the lens?

I tried this with a 720p 16:9 projector. The image quality was terrible, but fun. There are several problems but the main reason is that in digital projectors you have pixels with visible screendoor, even with a 1080p dlp projector you can see them (unless you project a very small image or sit far away). This isn't too problematic, but when you stretch the image 2X, you are stretching the PIXELS, so actually you will see the same resolution (unless you crop, then you will have less) because you are looking at the same pixels. But the percieved resolution will be less because the density of pixels has gone down, and the vertical pixel gaps will be much more evident.

thanks for info Aurucaria appreciated .

But i thought we would be gaining about 30 percent resolution by not having to add the black bars on a 239 aspect image HD image?

But see your point about the visible pixels cheers.

With respect to video produced anamorphically would there not be a resolution advantage to actually projecting the squeezed image with a projector fitted with "desqueeze" anamorphic adapter?

A full 1080p HD image (no black bars) vertical plane compressed/squeezezd   i.e the way it used to be done with film.

Q. Would this actually work? 

Q2 has anyone any experience with attaching anamorphic  adopters  to a consumer 1080 HD digital projector

Hi Xavier, it is a form of  "invisible cut "editing, there was a brilliant article on the technique on nofilmschool last month. Real eye opener. I hadn't realized myself but its an incredibly sophisticated technique of very carefully matching shots that are visually similar or connected. In particular the motion and  speed of motion of  the cut shots is vital. its very time consuming to get right apparently.

im not getting much wider than 40mm with bolex so for superwide using a isco 2000, this is going to nikon ai, 28mm with slight vignetting wide open,

Using this set up aswell. this anamorphic is just  incredible,

Getting some amazing stuff paired with the voitglander 40mm ultron pancake, very light/compact set up that we are flying on the varavon birdycam.

this thread and this blog have become to dumb to tolerate, im out

For what its worth.

I am also Incredibly dissapointed to read Andrew Reids continued defence of bullying and assault in the workplace.

Q. can samsung NX1 autofocus through a shoot through anamorphic  adapter?

New Face  recognition autofocus  looks  incredible  for  narrative film making.

i dont have NX1 to test but was  wondering if  anymore new  if  the autofocus would possibly , isco 2000 for example.?

Hi Ed,

Saw these various negative comments and the even more bizarre responses on nofilmschool.

I think this video is both, an inspiring and very useful example of  what can be  done with this new camera and very successful piece of work. I think this passionate  direct voice over works brilliantly. 

Congratulations and Thanks for taking the time to share.

​Well Tito current project very under wraps for moment but if your interested at all my previous work , simple google search  "procter photography "

best s

​

Thanks  Tito,

I kinda got it,but as  i said  it was more friendly advice for J Barlow about how is project presented. (Bolex Moller particularly interesting project, hope that one comes off.)

On an unrelated note  wanted tot thank you personally for all your work on this forum, has helped me so much in the development of my own project. I thought your film was excellent and am genuinely interested to see what work you are going to do next.

cordialement

sorry No dont see any sketch in your pdf?

i wasn't actually asking for an explanation how rectilux works, i kind of guess what it is,  was  just trying to offer some friendly advice.

As of now looking at the links to websites and multiple posts its very confused and wordy. 

good luck anyways

Hello John

Been following this thread for some time looks really exciting hope you pull it off.

One point for what its worth its actually incredibly confusing what your product is, both here and on your website.

I know a reasonable amount about anamorphic adapters and own or have owned most of the key ones. But I am not 100 percent sure what this exactly is.

a simple sketch/ image of how  this  would all connect to a camera to shoot would help enormously.

These new products do look amazing and im definitely interested in buying.

But the previous comment that claims john Barlow closed a thread about a competitor is really shocking.

Is it possible to have more information from all parties concerned ?

hi i have  owned  both these lenses in last 12 months. plus  the letus.

The slr works great very easy to use but doenst really add  so much  of  the anamorphic  look. BUT  it  works  great.

it is i think important  for  changing aspect ratio as opposed to pillar boxing which loses quite  a bit  of  pixels information.

The bolex  i  still have  is  absolutely extraordinary, something complettely  different and  minature ( i also have  an iscorama) the  trick is  to  get  one  with a  collar  so  you  dont  need a clamp,  you  then have  a minature  movie  making machine, with GH3/4 speedbooster i paired  it  with  the voitgmander  ultron 40mm to great effect.

I personally  think  the 1.3X anamorphic lenses  aren t  worth  all  the effort (and theres  a lot with dual focus anamorphic) even  though 1.5x is  technically  to much  of   a stretch.  

all just  my personal  opinion.

FWIW

Had a lot of  success with program "cliphouse"

it has  speeded up our ML workflow.

Its most important feature is to preview  your clips very quickly (not instantly but pretty quick) giving you on set playback.

we have a laptop with connected card reader, we dont offload card just use it to connect files to program for playback.

Also we found it can process/export your video file in the aspect ratios you decide.

relisted due to idiot non paying ebayer

It costs 1400. I've given up on the idea as it increases vignette and the metal housing doesn't really make it safer since dropping it will be even worse due to the extra weight. The only improvement for me would be the focus throw.

 

They said they are turning them around in under 30 days now though!

there turning them around in under 30 days ? wow  thats  amazing thanks  for  that

Hi thought this may be of interest as I read  some were put off by long turn around times.

Just recieved back from Van Diemen our iscorama with their standard mod

Not counting delivery both ways (Paris London),  1 week.
