Shanghai is a monstrous megapolis of concrete really and not quite what I was expecting. It is FAR rawer than Tokyo or Taipei and a lot of the old cultural relics have been swept away – but it was a very interesting place to visit…

The Cinemorph adapter is a very simple custom built filter for $140 + shipping with a cat’s eye front and flare generator. It is designed not just to simulate the flare of anamorphic lenses but the stretched bokeh. Here, EOSHD tests the adapter against a real $3000 anamorphic lens for widescreen cinematic images…
Interview with James Cameron at IBC 2011 – “Sterographers and 3D convergence pullers are history” It’s interesting that at the highest level of digital cinema hardware two DSLR video trends have become the cornerstone of the new Arri Alexa designs. Downsizing and anamorphic.

New 2nd edition of the EOSHD Anamorphic Shooter’s Guide is now available, click here to read more! I haven’t seen very many documentaries, TV shows or news reportage shot with anamorphic lenses. Some of this work of course isn’t suited to a cinema aesthetic – but some projects would really benefit from it. I have assembled a quick to use anamorphic ENG rig for handheld footage.
With the latest PTools 3.61d there are some new anamorphic shooting and workflow options. Key to this is a big improvement to the 480p MJPEG mode that I first shot with a few weeks ago. The good news is it’s now capable of proper HD video in 4:3 and not just upscaled 480p. It also does the squeeze in-camera so you can edit the clips straight off the card without…
No you are not dreaming! Finally a new anamorphic offering, these are the first images of a modded cine-Iscorama. The lenses are built in England by Alan, a cinematographer. Only 8 exist. Above is the REDSTAN Iscorama 001.
[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/26115801[/vimeo] Learn all about anamorphic shooting – the EOSHD book is now on eBay for just $19.99 The new GH2 hack is in its very early stages but has a helluva cool feature for anamorphic shooting. I thought I’d try it out. One of Vitaliy’s initial patches puts MJPEG video into a 4:3 aspect ratio, the same as 35mm film. I can then use a 2x anamorphic lens to convert…
