Recommended Posts

Need some help regarding the correct or appropriate proceedure for importing and designating aspect ratio of ananmorphic footage in PP CS6 and/or Avid MC6.

I have various anamorphic attachments: 1.5x, 1.75x, 2x. I am using a Canon DSLR. PAL.

Is there a thread somewhere which discusses this matter?

Thanks for your help...........and patience :ph34r:

Two particular lenses I own are not designated 1.75x, but when working with still images in Photoshop, a percentage stretch of 175% horizontal renders a circle round, so I'm assuming the lenses are 1.75x?

One of the lenses is an ISCO Animex, the other is discussed in the following thread (link below):

My lens is the same as [i]dahlfors; [/i]but I'm using Redstan.com clamps.

I placed some initial information regarding the ISCO Animex on Flickr:

No footage as yet. Have only recenly received my clamps for the Animex. I could not find much information on the net, so placed some images of the lens on Flickr for reference yesterday. I'll start a new thread when I've taken some video.

The Animex is a projection optic focus fixed around 8-14ft purely for 8mm and 16mm film projection (thanks Alan). Using a 0.4 diopter appears to provide the best result when using this lens. I've also been advised additional diopters would work well with the Animex for close-up work.

The lens is mentioned briefly in this post by Martin Baumgarten:
[url="http://www.cinematography.com/index.php?showtopic=44966"]http://www.cinematog...showtopic=44966[/url] (Search page for 'Animex')

I've been [i]rattling the doors[/i] of the Australian Widescreen Association but no one seems to be home.

I received the ISCO Animex from a movie buff along with some other lenses. At first, the Animex had me 'stumped' (cricket term meaning out of my 'crease' or 'zone') until I put the 0.4 diopter on it which provided some interesting results and an indication of the 'zone' and qualities of the lens.


*Later note:
I've sorted out the matter indicated in my initial post regarding working with anamorphic footage in PP CS6 and Avid Media Composer 6.01. I'll work on the finer details later.
