Behind the Scenes look at the launch party for new Ustream app called "Broadcast For Friends".
Its basically Instagram for live video streaming.

Shot in both 2x Anamophic and regular 16:9 with crop.

Lessons learned:

1. MUST use Tokina Diopter and +1 diopter closer than 5 feet! (was getting too close to the models and they came out blurry!)

2. Can't go completely handheld - MUST use cowboy rig at least. Tripod is best.

3. run-n-gun is hard to focus both anamophic and taking lens

4. almost NO light loss from Kowa :)

A lot of your verticals appear to have a lot to right skew. Sure you've got it mounted perfectly aligned on your taking lens? Nice look either way. It's quite easy to fix the skew in post too. I've done it a tonne of times.
