EOSHD.com presents a comprehensive cookbook for achieving a cinematic anamorphic look to your films.
With this guide you will enter the world of anamorphic lenses. Before beginning, ask yourself – do I want my footage to look like everybody else’s? Would I feel satisfied if my footage was shot with lenses anyone could buy, from a normal online shop? If the answer is ‘no’ – choose anamorphic.
They are an epic factor in the cinematic look – as big as 24p and as much a Hollywood gold standard as 35mm film – in fact anamorphic lenses have been widely used throughout cinema’s history on classics such as Alien, Blade Runner, Logan’s Run, Bond and Apocalypse Now to produce the look and feel of bonafide cinema and they are still widely used today by directors like Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, Inception), Paul T. Anderson (There Will Be Blood), Wes Craven and others.
