valid Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Screen grabs from a short sci-fi film I'm directing. http://alexeymarfin.com/blue-eyed-me-coming-soon/ Can you can tell apart which shots are real anamorphic shots and which are spherical + pseudo-anamorphic aesthetic done in post? ;-) Any feedback welcome :-) Cosimo murgolo, nahua and Tim McC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Punk Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Stills look great, would be interested in seeing the completed short. I presume that for spherical shots, you are using Frischluft's Lenscare plug-in with an oval iris for defocus? That plugin combined with animated masks can pretty quickly approximate the real anamorphic defocus look. I use that process quite often, with a custom distortion/ CA script for when I'm blending composites together or integrating CG into a scene that is supposedly shot 'in-camera' anamorphic. Looks good, make sure to post a link to the completed film when it's complete :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valid Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Thanks :-) Will keep you updated! Yeah frischluft is great. Also just the default Defocus/ZDefocus nodes in Nuke does the same thing for oval iris. I also simulated subtle anamorphic lens breathing during a focus pull too (just by animating horizontal and vertical stretch). PS Here's a purely in-camera shot (Kowa B&H with a 28mm taking lens) that i used for reference '> Hans Punk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valid Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 PPS I also saw a plugin which could do distorted/swirly bokeh as you got further away from the centre (such as helios 85mm '> ) - which seemed super interesting, but I haven't tested it yet. link: http://hagbarth.net/?p=768 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Which camera/ lenses are you using? how did you color grade too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valid Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Which camera/ lenses are you using? how did you color grade too? Shot on a BMCC with Samyang primes for the spherical stuff (16/2.2 and 35/1.5), and 28mm voigtlander with kowa bell & howell 2X for the anamorphic. Colour-wise it's done in a cineon workflow (converting both rendered sRGB and blackmagic's log-gamma prores to cineon) - then graded with some film emulation luts and a bit of complementary highlight/shadow colour correction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

premini Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 All looks great. With regards to the grading, which tool LUT did you use to convert BMD Film to Cineon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premini Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 btw, my bet is that this one '> and the one with the lady and the fishtank are faux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valid Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 All looks great. With regards to the grading, which tool LUT did you use to convert BMD Film to Cineon? first BMCC to Rec709 lut from blackmagic, and then rec709 to cineon conversion. Ideally I would have some kind of sRGB-to-BMDFilm or rec709-to-BMDFilm lut to avoid the cineon step (and just grade everything together as if it were BMCC footage) - but I haven't found such a thing...

Guest Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Anyways back to the main point of this, The ones that I can tell are not used with an anamorphic lens are the ones that have an unnatural curvature. i saw that tutorial and the "myfish" with the orange light thingy is definitely non anamorphic. Can't tell from some of the wide shots, but for that one specifically, I dont think it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
