KarimNassar Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I know way too many flares and I don't like the music but some very nice shots and grade: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEo6AdSTVfI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEo6AdSTVfI[/url] Any idea what they shot this on? apparently rockhard did it but no info on gear on the website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickHitRecord Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Looks like Lomo squarefront to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarimNassar Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Lomo squarefront? I don't know much about anamorphics but don't they have access to newer and better ones? I know the Lomos are great but what does hollywood shoot anamorphic with these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickHitRecord Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hollywood uses Panavision and Hawk anamorphic lenses. For indie films, you'll see more Lomo round and squarefronts or sometimes Kowa anamorphics. The next step down are the Iscorama adapters. And then you have Kowa, Moller, Sankor, LA7200 and a couple dozen other lenses which are better suited for budget filmmaking. Zeiss has new anamorphic lenses on the way. Supposedly SLR Magic is developing one for Micro Four Thirds as well. The example above has a 2x crop, a glamorous "washed out" look, and some crazy flaring that is prevalent in Lomos, though these look more purple than what I have seen with mine. But that might be from the color correction. If you're interested in learning more about anamorphic lenses, Andrew's e-book is pretty useful.
