A mountain walk - Anamorphic lens test

[@CommanderBLY77]

This demotivates me. I can't understand how a masterpiece like this doesn't get more views. There is so much great stuff out there that never gets seen by a large amount of the public eye. On one hand it's still cool that it exists for the people that watch it here :) on the other hand it's sad because you could be more famous with what you do. Keep it up and let's hope you'll get there someday :)

[@NicolasGaillard]

I posted it 1h ago. Who knows, maybe it will end up on the KZbin front page ? (Plot twist: probably not) Thank you for the kind words :)

[@CommanderBLY77]

Ye true, but I didn't just talk about this piece of art, also your other videos :) You deserve way more views imo

[@BranBillington]

Hey, it showed up in my feed, that has to count for something

[@thespfgirl]

Most art is for the future. Think of how many artists have their works hanging on the walls of museums and mansions decades or centuries after they died penniless and unknown. Of the artists who are appreciated during their lifetime, they've all mastered showmanship and self-promotion -- an artform all its own.

[@gabrielaeckert6781]

Toasterus Prime totally agree

[@csmimaging]

RIP Black levels

[@rubenosuna8381]

This was an absolute delight to watch. It deserves millions of viewers.

[@NicolasGaillard]

Bengt Yeah I got more subscribers and views in a week than what I got over many years haha ^^ No complains

[@gabrielaeckert6781]

this song and also the video just touches my soul so deeply. it makes my emotions so intense and i feel something unexplainably calm and good, i feel like some kind of nostalgia of something it didnt happened yet... thank you so much for this amazing work and for making me feel these things

That's very nice of you to say, thank you !

Clicked on your profile through a random comment section and just realised I already saw your Team Overkill application :) I think you're fantastic at what you do - keep up the great work!

[@NicolasGaillard]

Where have you seen my comment ? I'm curious :p

[@pamelasalwinski6502]

Nicolas Gaillard Probably Leonard Rääf's latest video. I guess there is a theme between both of these videos :p

[@NicolasGaillard]

Pamela Salwinski Haha yeah maybe

[@xfist2facex]

Well done! This looks a lot like the Pyrenees? Beautiful colour and landscape.

[@NicolasGaillard]

It's in the Alps. In the Ubaye valley precisely

[@enesbuldur6033]

So creative intro! I love it!

[@BrianDiener]

Came out really clean, love the flares!

[@NicolasGaillard]

Who doesn't like anamorphic flares

[@dark-california]

Beautiful .. . .. 👌

[@JacksonAcademy1]

that ASPECT RATIO THO. why is nobody talking about that?!

[@AnatolBogun]

I love how you frame things with my favourite shot at 1:45 with the top down view skating over the bridge. At first I thought this aspect ratio is almost too wide, even way wider than 2.39:1 but it's an interesting challenge and definitely worked extremely well here.

[@NicolasGaillard]

Thanks Anatol !

[@ChristopherShipe]

Dude this is clean! I love the anamorphic look, got a HI-FI 2 not too long ago but am gonna invest in a sinker or baby gonar because it's so bulky. Great work

[@NicolasGaillard]

Thanks man :) That's cool ! Yeah the HiFi2 looks huge ! My sankor is about the right size, it doesn't feel like it's going to rip off the lens mount haha. And it was pretty cheap too, got it for 150€ (not sure why I wasn't subscribed to you yet)

It is Glacial indifference

[@cwalshie]

Would absolutely love to see a tutorial/behind the scenes as to how you made this beautiful piece of cinema. Thank you :)

[@VivekShahFilms]

[@ErikMartini]

Hi Nicolas, I love how you emphasize the sound details! You downloaded that sound effects or you recorded it on your own? What microphone do you use for recording that sound details? Greetings from Italy :)

[@akuaputih6601]

masterpiece!

[@RhayssaBexiga]

Amazing Video !!!

[@N3wyC0gh3ad]

Such a good Vid and I love how much attention you give to sound! Do you record the sound after or during the shot? If during how so with such rich noise when you are really far away?

[@NicolasGaillard]

Every sound was from the internet, except for the skateboard part because it was impossible for me to replicate :)

[@CaliberCreativity]

Despite all the imperfections like cromatic aberration, no sharp edges, and some out of focus footage, this video is really a wonderfull masterpiece. I saw it on my 32:9 screen, so its really fucking super ultra wide and i just loved all the immersiveness that video gave to me. I would love to ask you some info in private.

[@estera.maramis2253]

great video!!

[@SOLSTlCE]

I love this

[@kiritokxic]

majesticccccccccccccccccc

[@belkoadam]

Good mood in the video, pretty good job. Just wondering how long does it took to film it and did postprocessing? thx

[@NicolasGaillard]

I filmed it over a week and edited it in about 5h

[@cricketer3135]

Incredible very cinematic, what is the difference between sankor C and sankor D did you use filter thanks :)

[@NicolasGaillard]

jan film The diameter of the rear is a bit wider on the D, and it has a thread. Appart from that they are identical. And no I didn't use any filters (I tried but the flares looked bad with a ND)

[@nawapatrider8442]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

[@WouterMedia]

Sick work buddy 👍🏼👍🏼

[@DNBaccount]

What program do you use for the flares? Something like video copilot? Awesome shots man! Really inspiring.

[@NicolasGaillard]

These are real flares...

[@purplebullz5253]

Awesome!!! 🤘🏾

[@NicolasGaillard]

Thanks dude

[@katel9728]

beautiful just beautiful that's all I can say😊

[@garyking4032]

Hi Nicolas - stunning piece of work! A quick question - is the 'milky vignette' that can be seen in some flare shots avoidable? If not in-camera, perhaps in PP with contrast and a mask? I'd love to go down this route, it looks beautiful.

[@NicolasGaillard]

Yes it's possible : kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIHKo2htiJl3brs

[@garyking4032]

Thanks very much. Love your work.

[@JackCrapa]

Awesome video dude! love your style, how did you exported the video in 4k even if the D7200 can only shoot 1080p?

[@NicolasGaillard]

The origninal footage is 1920x1080, but when streched 2x horizontaly it results in 3840x1080, which is 4K if you place it in a 16:9 composition

[@JackCrapa]

cool! thanks for the quick answers dude :)

[@ryanblake1870]

How did you create the title animation sequence?

[@maximilianlindner]

I watched this and was like "Oh great, another rich kid showing off their Red Weapon 8K plus 50 grand in lenses collection." Then I read the description. You Sir, blew my mind!

[@NicolasGaillard]

Max Lindner Thanks a lot, really appreciate it! Vintage anamorphic scopes are the best.

[@danreidography]

I love the old school, cinematic look. Thats something that I'm still learning how to do. Where did you shoot this?

[@NicolasGaillard]

Thank you ! It was shot in the Ubaye valley near Barcelonnette.

[@aylabriscoe706]

I was going to comment saying how this looks a lot like the south of France. Beautiful setting. My sister in law is from a village close to Lourdes.

[@MarcWebster]

Beautiful edit Nicolas :D

[@NicolasGaillard]

Thanks dude :)

[@BdrumMerX14]

Amazing

[@JackToth]

Love it :) I"d recommend the GH4 or GH5 to shoot 4:3 (if your looking for a cheaper camera). For sure looks awesome

[@justafterdark1177]

Amazing. Goes to show how you don't need $50k cinema cameras to film something as gorgeous as this.

[@MatchRoad]

Really nice

[@AliSiddiqui1214]

Sick 🔥

[@pascaljean2333]

did you output 4k with black bars, or just custom anamorphic ratio res?

[@NicolasGaillard]

This is an anamorphic lens, its main point is to produce a native anamorphic ratio

[@pascaljean2333]

@@NicolasGaillard, sure but I was wondering about how KZbin accepts the non native format. Thanks for the reply!

[@NicolasGaillard]

@@pascaljean2333 Oh, I just uploaded whatever ratio it ended up in. I didn't fit it in 16:9

[@pascaljean2333]

@@NicolasGaillard ya, at first when I uploaded my video to youtube I was confused because it was 360p and squeezed. So I uploaded with black bars after, not realizing youtube takes time for 4k :-D Great film by the way!

[@RoccoCaruso]

Could you please give me advice on cinematography or basically shooting shots like those?

[@NicolasGaillard]

That's tough haha. I honestly don't know what to say ! I guess practicing is the best thing you can do, see what works and what doesn't by yourself and gain xp points :)

[@RoccoCaruso]

Nicolas Gaillard Haha cheers mate!

[@slatos3318]

As always, amazing video. Is it just me or do you keep on making those black bars bigger and bigger? ehehe

[@NicolasGaillard]

Haha it's because of the anamorphic lens ! I didn't add any black bars here, it's the original footage ;)

[@slatos3318]

Nicolas Gaillard Oh, that makes sense! I remembered that old video you made where the bar was a little of ahahah

[@NicolasGaillard]

Never forget :'(

[@robinzwanenburg]

nice image, 4:3 mode on the GH5 will be nice with this sense.

[@NicolasGaillard]

Yep ! I'm saving to get it ;)

[@tit-belledonne9566]

Les lentilles anamorphic servent à quoi finalement ? C'est un format vidéo cadré en mode panorama ? En tout cas c'est beau ! Well played (j'imagine que c'est juste toi qui a recadré comme ça mais bon je demande ^^ !)

[@NicolasGaillard]

Titouan Larnicol Alors pas du tout x) c'est un objectif qui compresse l'image horizontalement x2, mais sur la même surface de capteur qu'un objo normal (on va dire 1920x1080). Du coup sur l'ordi je dois décompresser l'image et donc multiplier par 2 la résolution horizontale, je me retrouve donc avec du 3840x1080. D'où le format très allongé. J'ai rien recadré.

[@NicolasGaillard]

Titouan Larnicol Ça c'est pour l'aspect technique, mais y'a aussi l'aspect esthétique. Principalement le bokeh et les flares, mais aussi la distorsion, aberrations etc :)

[@tit-belledonne9566]

Okay je comprends mieux merci ! :) ça explique la hauteur des bandes noirs ;) thank's !
