Nothing special or scientific here. We were recently asked by a few people “Whats the difference in shooting anamorphic or not”. In some shots the difference is obvious, in other shots…not so much.
Obviously the flares are a big difference, but it also has an overall look and feel that is a bit softer (which is a plus when dealing with these super sharp DSLRs like the 5D Mark II). The other big characteristic, that we’ve seen our entire lives in hollywood movies that use Anamorphics, is the oblong or oval bokeh.
More before and after shots on the way! Let us know if you’d like to see anything specific…
This is a teaser for a short shot entirely with the Sony PMW-F3. It will form part of Sea Pool. http://vimeo.com/channels/seapool A documentary currently in production on the Australian ocean pool culture in Sydney and shot early morning at North Narrabeen on Sydney’s northern beaches.
Lenses were Zeiss 40mm UltraPrime, Super Speeds, & 135mm prime.
I’ve done a subtle preliminary grade using Red Giant’s Magic Bullet Looks but we can already see the footage has great possibilities in the grade.
