To Test the Blazar Remus 85mm I Made a Sci-Fi Short Film

[@davidsfilmmaking]

Duude this is sick! The short film had me on the edge🙌

[@ScottJeschke]

Thanks as always, brother. Appreciate you

[@FilmMastersChannel]

They used a lot of imperfect lens choices in the Obi-Wan series. That gave it that grungy look more inline with Star Wars: A new Hope. Great review btw. Subbed

[@ScottJeschke]

@@FilmMastersChannel thanks so much! Yeah, def a current trend on TV especially

[@v3blaxican]

Side note, as for cleaner anamorphics, I actually use the Surui 35mm Saturn lens for photography now that I use the Blazar's for video

[@ScottJeschke]

@@v3blaxican smart. I had the Sirui 50mm and it was too clean for me, so that makes a lot of sense

[@baxslatton]

Loved the Sci-fi short! I’m really digging all of these prosumer focused cine lenses we have out now. If only my wallet felt the same way😬

[@ScottJeschke]

@@baxslatton thanks so much, man! Haha yeah , I agree. I only make 1-2 big / expensive gear purchases a year so lenses are always so hard to justify... But these blazar ones are so hard to pass up 🤤😅

[@andrewlutes2048]

Admiring your shadow exposure in that bedroom scene.

[@ScottJeschke]

@@andrewlutes2048 thanks, Andrew 🙏

[@Horizons_Roses]

Great, looks like the 80 should have been there from start, seems way better than the 100mm I had. great review ;)

[@zgriffin22]

Making a short to review a piece of equipment is s tier. So much fun.

[@ScottJeschke]

@@zgriffin22 haha thank you, brother 🙏👊

[@ScottJeschke]

Gotta keep those wheels spinning any way I can

[@EdProsser]

Absolutely stunning work Scott - the editing, sound design and obviously the visuals! Super tight - it all gels. Also - the more I see of these lenses in capable hands the more I desire them!

[@ScottJeschke]

@@EdProsser ah, man. Thank you so much, Ed. This means a lot to me coming from you. 🙏. You are going to love these lenses. I'm still blown away that we're spoiled enough in 2024 to have lenses like this for under 1k. It's absolutely wild

[@JeremyBotz]

Love it! I got the Remus set last month, and took it to Seattle with me on a business trip. Manual Focus RnG is a B*$ lol. But I love the set. Thanks for sharing the art of the possible. Can't wait to see the BTS video, so I can steal like an artist. 🤣

[@ScottJeschke]

Thanks so much, Jeremy 🙏

[@DrewWhite-nb9gx]

Your mind works differently

[@ScottJeschke]

@@DrewWhite-nb9gx haha I accept

[@KodyNewton]

Thanks for the review! Lens feels closer to the 100mm in the set than the 65mm. The 65mm is still my fav but I'll love having this one in my arsenal.

[@ScottJeschke]

Thanks, Kody! Yeah, it's a pretty tight lens for sure. Hoping to get my hands on all of them at some point. Bank account allowing haha

[@jondoeslifestuff]

Dude love the image, can't wait for mine to come in. Just a headsup, every b roll shot has a high ringing noise.

[@ScottJeschke]

@@jondoeslifestuff thanks so much, you're gonna love it! Uh oh... Hmm, not hearing it on my end, and most of the clips are muted in my timeline. I did notice one of them. You can hear me mouth breathing LOL. Good ears. Thanks for the heads up! Was a quick turn o. This one 😬😔

[@BonzoKilbourn]

An hour or so ago out of nowhere I thought to myself I wonder if Scott posted anything. Great video. By the way, your overly serious close-up flashlight game is on pint. You should consider being the detective who comes out to see about the aliens.

[@ScottJeschke]

Wow, that's incredible! What timing. And thanks haha. Hard to restrain myself when I have a flashlight and anamorphic lens lol

[@alzibaba]

Awesome job! It's fantastic to see Blazar are continuing to add focal lengths to the Remus line. With the 33 being developed plus now this 85mm, it's like Christmas came early ;-)

[@ScottJeschke]

Thanks so much! Agreed. Excited about these lenses

[@bykevinmack]

Freaking awesome Scott.

[@ScottJeschke]

@@bykevinmack 🙏🙏🙏 thank you so much

[@matt.gillispie]

Man this was great! Looking forward to seeing more like it. Awesome job Scott.

[@ScottJeschke]

@@matt.gillispie thanks so much, brother 🙏 always appreciate the kind feedback

[@schoeferfilm]

Really a good idea to review something with a short movie 👏 we made a short movie with anamorphic lenses too 😅 coming soon 🎥 best cinematic greetings from germany

[@ScottJeschke]

@@schoeferfilm thanks so much! And Likewise :)

[@bertcano]

Super cool dude!

[@ScottJeschke]

@@bertcano thank you my friend 🙏🙏

[@NoSuRReNDeR001]

I have 100mm in PL - blue flare and Red Gemini or R5 8k -- Love it - STOP it down duh... but its great at t4

[@ScottJeschke]

@@NoSuRReNDeR001 yeah, dude. Can't wait to get my hands on some of the blue flare models. My 45mm has been backordered since May 13

[@welchworks]

Also out of this world: That COLOR GRADE! ✨👀

[@ScottJeschke]

@@welchworks thank you so much! It's a film emulation that I made from scratch, and will be making publicly available soon. It does pretty much all the heavy lifting with very little grade

[@JustWhatINeed83]

Is your LUT available yet? Great video and thx for the inspiration!

[@ScottJeschke]

@@JustWhatINeed83 not yet! But I'm trying to get it out in the next few weeks :)

[@JustWhatINeed83]

Great thx

[@discotechwreck]

This was so much fun to watch! Great short and review 👌🏽

[@ScottJeschke]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it :)

[@v3blaxican]

I pre ordered the original set when they were announced, and I may pick up this new 85mm eventually, but I am more excited for when the 33mm comes out. The 45mm is amazing, but I also have the Sirui Saturn 35mm, and the Remus 33mm would give about the same field of view (around 22mm) with it's 1.5x squeeze vs the 1.6x of the Sirui, while also going down to T1.6. I can wait for the 85mm since I have the 65mm and 100mm, plus for video, I rarely go tighter than a 50-55mm field of view equivalent, unless for specific shots, which the Remus 85mm is right at the edge of that. But, as always, amazing video!

[@ScottJeschke]

@@v3blaxican totally! I'm typically a wider range guy too. I do like long lenses but they kind of require a bigger canvas/ more space. I've had the 45 backordered for ages. It's killing me.

[@imdrecordings]

Did you need an adapter to mount it to your camera? Thanks for posting this and cool short

[@ScottJeschke]

@@imdrecordings Thanks so much! Yeah, I used a PL to E adapter. They have emount, but I figured if I get an adapter, I can keep investing in PL lenses and use them on different cameras if I need to. Since it's not on a focus, I don't really need the e mount

[@SumonBose]

Bro! Love it

[@ScottJeschke]

Thanks brother! Good seeing you here

[@ContraflowPictures]

Full frame?

[@ScottJeschke]

@@ContraflowPictures yep

[@KyleCorwith]

Nicely done, man!

[@ScottJeschke]

@@KyleCorwith thanks, brother 🙏

[@MarkForrer]

Which spherical lens did you use? That stuff looks lovely!

[@ScottJeschke]

Thanks, Mark! A cheap Canon 70-300 for the eclipse, a viltrox 16mm f1.8 for the shot of the saucer, and a Rokinon af 35mm F1.8 for the other "IMAX" shots.

[@ScottJeschke]

Oh and also a viltrox 50mm f1.8 for the closeup push in shot on my face during the saucer storm

[@HeyQuinton]

Awesome video my man - just FYI - your HLG lut link is broken - just in case people are trying to buy it

[@ScottJeschke]

Oh shoot, thanks for the heads up! Just fixed it. And thanks for the kind feedback

[@bykevinmack]

Do you sell your Film Emulation LUT for Sony Slog3 for FX3? I use FCPX.

[@ScottJeschke]

@@bykevinmack not yet. But very soon!

[@bykevinmack]

@@ScottJeschke Looking forward to it.

[@RyanBartonGrimley]

This was RAD!

[@ScottJeschke]

@@RyanBartonGrimley thank you so much, man 🙏🙏🙏

[@RyanBartonGrimley]

@@ScottJeschke Of course! Was this the blue flair version?

[@ScottJeschke]

@@RyanBartonGrimley no. Silver! Wish it was the blue flare one

[@iamfraserk]

Awesome 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@ScottJeschke]

@@iamfraserk thank you so much 🙏🙏👊

[@manners316]

Fantastic review - great work and some great shots too. Getting a sub from me.

[@ScottJeschke]

Thank you! Welcome to the channel

[@TexpatOTG]

Where is all this anamorphic content being shown? Maybe I am missing out on something.

[@ScottJeschke]

@@TexpatOTG what do you mean? In this video or in general?

[@TexpatOTG]

@@ScottJeschke In general, what is the footage being used for? It appears quite expensive to setup for it. I haven't ever seen anamorphic content except at a theatre. Why so much interest among KZbinrs whose content is mostly watched on a smartphone?

[@ScottJeschke]

@@TexpatOTG it's used a ton in commercials these days, and narrative projects. For general creator content less so, but I'd say it's on the rise with more affordable options. A lot of people use them for "cinematic" travel videos now too

[@TexpatOTG]

@@ScottJeschke Thanks! Was really curious about it. Looks as if cost of entry was probably a big factor in creating more interest. Good show!

[@ScottJeschke]

@@TexpatOTG yep. Absolutely. 5 years ago, the cheapest anamorphic was probably about $6,000. It's crazy how far they've come down in price. And you are so welcome! Thanks for watching :)

[@joedaddy415]

you got probed!

[@ScottJeschke]

👀🙈😅

it looks amazing ! Blazar has to stop or i will never have money again :D maybe my boss should directly send my wage to blazar it would make things simply easier :D

[@mheyman]

Heyy im the second viewer! Excited to watch this video!

[@ScottJeschke]

Excited for you to see it!
