richg101 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 [attachment=420:7D Trumpetsmall.jpg] This is an image of the coolest looking anamorphic setup I have ever seen. Cinevision 8mm 1.5x anamorphot, helios zebra 44-2 (with matched blue flares to match the horizontal blue flare of the cinevision) and the zacuto evf with 1.5x desqueeze. due to the amount of flare he has fitted a hood and variable nd which is probably a good idea for sunny days. this is how the system looks:- flares:- http://vimeo.com/58577845 http://vimeo.com/59005040 use:- http://vimeo.com/58784632 Hans Punk, Sebastien Farges, Zmu and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Cunningham Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The rainbow diffraction patterns, is that from micro cleaning marks on the lens? It looks really cool and I don't think I've seen that effect quite so pronounced at high flare incidence. Neat. richg101 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richg101 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 The prominence of those patterns is probably more to do with the fact that the light source is a maglite rather than an LED based iphone flash that most people use to test flares. its a rather tight beam which blasts a lot more light down the barrel than a dot of blue light from a iphone:) The lens did have a few cleaning marks on the front element but I dont think it is the major cause. The taking lens has been modified internally and this could be a reason - light bouncing around where it shouldnt be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickHitRecord Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Great stuff, especially the skate video. There's something really special about the look from the 8mm anamorphics. The Lomo square fronts exhibit rainbow diffraction as well, but I've not seen it with any other lens until your example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The taking lens has been modified internally and this could be a reason - light bouncing around where it shouldnt be. Whatever it is or where it's coming from, it's cool. Some of these lenses produce more or less extreme or pleasing flares but they mostly tend to be homogeneous in the coloration of their flares and internal reflections. This one has a nice, unusual mix of both cool and warm tones. I've always liked how some of the Panavision lenses give that nice blue flaring but often put a red ring around a bare light source. This is way more, I don't know, organic. Maybe it's partly the Helios too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Meet the seehorse... came into my mind. Great skate video. The cinevision is very impressive and you very good work on your side. Flares are not the main reason for me to like anamorphic - and too much en vogue (or may be were?) at the moment. Honestly I cannot say what I really like about anamorphic: I am not so much into flares, I don't notice oval bokeh... I just like it -like millions of other people just watching and enjoying without the knowledge how a certain picture is produced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Punk Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I forgot to post this before, here is a few shots from the 'Super' Trumpet setup that Rich fixed up for me!... http://vimeo.com/59880509 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itimjim Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Nice looking footage! Did you use warp stabilisation on the above video? The flares are bouncing around, where as the frame stays quite smooth. Admittedly I'm confused over why the flare doesn't stabilise with the whole frame though...I need coffee.

Your eyes are good....yes, warp stabilise was used as I only had a crappy £19 monopod that day which did not quite work as well as it should. Flares are always a killer for any kind of tracking/stabilise software, as they are semi transparent, shape shifting beasts that have a parallax shift of there own speed/ direction which the tracking algorithms tend to either ignore or latch on to which can create an invalid track/stabilise. This video has the settings whacked stupidly high to have a floaty feel, but yeah...the bouncing flares kind of kill the effect :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
