As many of us had our lifestyles changed due to the dangerous Corona Virus outbreak worldwide I hope this video can inspire and take your mind off of it for a little while. My prayers, thoughts and concern are for your wellbeing. Stay safe and healthy.
I am officially addicted to anamorphic but unfortunately cannot afford the $3,000-$100,000 to purchase a modern anamorphic lenses such as Vazen, Atlas Orion or Arri Master Anamorphics so I am on the path of using and adapting vintage anamorphic scopes that were originally designed for projectors.
This review is the behind the scenes of the testing that I do to select the proper scope and taking lens combinations. The footage at the end was not sharpened and there was no noise reduction applied just basic curves, contrast and saturation to give you an idea of how the setup works in real life, also it was all shot handheld. and some shots are not in total focus LOL.
