Rob Bannister Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Shot some small tests with the Iscorama on my d800 last week. Shot on D800 with the nikon 50mm 1.4D and Tokina +0.4 diopter and Hoya +1 diopter. I did the edit in premiere, grading in speed grade and second grade in nuke using some custom grading filters I made using filters from on set. My site www.robbannister.com Downloads page http://www.robbannister.com/downloads/ videos CC1 http://vimeo.com/64450588 CC2 http://vimeo.com/64464863 Hopefully I'll have some stuff really worth showing soon.

Tito Ferradans Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Iscoramas really convince you that 'in focus' means 'in focus'! Damn, that's sharp. This machine is beautiful! Don't even know what it does, but these colors made me think it was CGI. :P I prefer the first CC option, since I'm more of a blue guy, than a greenish fellow. hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Bannister Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Thanks for the kind words. The first one is done with a LUT and some CC in speed grade the second one is done in nuke using a Straw filter. When they use filters on set we get them to shout a Macbeth chart and I can neutralize the plates for CG and comp work then we reverse it to apply it back at the end and no one is the wiser. SO Ive combined all of these into a node that you can apply or remove. Works out quite well. I wish my eye didnt always go for warm corrections its something i have to work on.

Rob Bannister Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 oh and to answer your possible question the Select-o-matic is a jukebox that allows you to make up to 100 selections! haha love the sound that comes out of the old speaker. You can see it better on the wide shot to the left. Tito Ferradans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Bannister Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Here are 2 contact sheets so you can see how the files came out of the d800 if anyone was interested. nahua 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony wilson Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 wow never heard of the iscorama selectomatic does that mean you can change compression.1.33-1.5-1.75 and 2x do you press a button to change the squeeze ? superb quality :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Bannister Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Haha thanks Tony, wouldnt that be something. I love this lens but im also excited to see if I can utilize a 2X stretch as well. These anamorphics really make up for the line skipping on these dslrs. Also cant wait to put it on a BMCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Bannister Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Thanks that mean a lot, Im new but I really want to shoot a feature anamorphic so its my way to test out and learn how to frame in 2.35 2.66 Im already fining I need to get an evf with anamorphic desqueeze so Im looking into that. Should search this forum. I didnt post it but here is the last version. Its a little more lifted / faded with some film grain and blooming. http://vimeo.com/64469791 Zmu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucker Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 very nice grading indeed! i like the first one,... but yes it does look like it was CG, haha! the last one, more lifted,... love that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Bannister Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Thanks Im glad you like the vintage one I did. The first one I agree looks like polished reflective cg but I also thing it brings out this kind of porcelain look to the selector arm in the jukebox.

Should search this forum. Interesting to see someone else who is using Iscorama on D800. I've also noticed that nailing the focus is difficult on the D800 display. I'm myself considering getting a SmallHD AC7 monitor. It's an HD resolution monitor at 7", you can enter custom aspect ratios, and there are quite a few options that aid in focusing & getting proper exposure.

Rob Bannister Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 NICE!! Im looking for something like that to do custom scaling and peaking. I was looking at evfs or possibly a monitor but not looking to spend $1000...$500 just seems easier to swallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, I just found out that you can set the wheel center button to zoom in while in live view for better control over focus. It zooms in right where you have moved the focusing square. Very handy for focusing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember my life without it. hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about $300-400 as I recall. EeeCeeGee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, spend the 1k because with evfs and monitors, you absolutely get what you pay for. I have a Kinotehnik and it is the best evf I have ever used. It has all the desqueezes etc and is properly fast. Unlike the TVlogic or Zacuto I don't get a weird seasick disconnect between the real motion and what I'm seeing. It has focus assists but I don't use them because it is easy to tell sharps just from the image. Great looking shots too dude.

Rob Bannister Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks guys, I'll check them out. Its hard to jump on it right now because Ive jumped ship and preordered the Black Magic Pocket camera which has at least peaking for focus. Maybe after I get it I'll look into these options for the desqueezed monitoring. THe evfs/monitors look awesome. Im using the hyperdeck for hdmi recording but man is that thing heavy with the plate on the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
