Chris Elkerton Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Hi, I just wanted to share my first video shot with an anamorphic adapter. https://vimeo.com/65235134 This was an unplanned shoot which turned into a music video for a good friend of mine. Shot on a 5D mark ii with a Sankor 16-C and a jupiter 85mm taking lens. All hand held with no rig (told you it was unplanned) I wish I had more lenses and a stabiser of some sort but thats how it goes. The content was pretty cool so I thought it needed to be cut together. Sometimes the best things to shoot happen when you least expect it! Cheers, Chris.

Lucian Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 very cool. Did you stabilize in post? looks not too shaky for handheld! Chris Elkerton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Elkerton Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Thanks for comment Luke. The only shot that was stablished was the opening shot which was shot from a taxi and was all over the place. The rest was just as shot. I just used the old strap round the neck trick. I had also had a few beers, maybe that's the secret!? Julian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conTXT Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Looks really nice. I saw a deep DOF (in such low light conditions) without a noticeable noise. Would you share more about the camera settings (esp. ISO) and the lens aperture. Have you experienced any vignetting issues with the Jupiter? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you share more about the camera settings (esp. ISO) and the lens aperture. Have you experienced any vignetting issues with the Jupiter? Thanks in advance! Thanks for watching! I tend to shoot with what are refered to as the "broken ISO's" in low light. For example 160,320,640 etc. I find that you get less noise on the 5D II this way. I did do a bit of noise reduction and levels boosting in After Effects on some shots though. But shooting at 640 ISO it wasnt really too bad. As for the deep depth of field shots; these were created by increasing the distance between the camera and subject rather than stopping the lens down too much. (therefore not having to ramp the ISO up too high) I cant remember the exact settings but I would guess around f2.8 maybe f3.2 at a push. You will get vignetting using this set-up, it becomes more noticable the more you stop the lens down. I found better results (much less vignetting) using my Kowa 8Z with the Jupiter. Wide open on the Sankor its not too bad, but anything past f8 ish and its pretty unusable. Tito Ferradans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
