SamStJohn Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hi I have a GH2 which im going to hack and put driftwood 176 onto. i do not wish to shoot any narrative based work in 16:9 again. I feel compelled to shoot cinemascope, My last short film was shot on a PD150 with cinemascope 2:35:1, [url=http://vimeo.com/26241712]223[/url] I know that sounds crazy but it sort of worked. i measured out the cinemascope conversion and attached scotch tape to act as a grid. old school. do any of the available hacks allow for the screen to be marked out? or am i back to my calculator? also, at the moment i just have the kit lens, i cannot see me buying anamorphic lens' anytime soon, unless i can get them dirt cheap. so how will shooting on a standard lens like that effect the anamorphic look? thank you in advance for your replies Sam St. John Paragon Pictures [url=http://www.paragonpictures.co.uk]www.paragonpictures.co.uk[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted January 3, 2012 Administrators Share Posted January 3, 2012 If you are using a 2x anamorphic check out the EOSHD GH2 Patch Vault, each patch includes the MJPEG anamorphic patch for 2.66:1 direct out of the camera from 4:3 with a 2x lens. With a 1.33x or 1.5x lens you will be best off in AVCHD 1080p mode with the usual high bitrate hack. For monitoring, image is stretched on camera no matter what mode... I sometimes use an external monitor or EVF which does the stretch in real time while recording, sometimes don't bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
