Capture The Moment - Panasonic Gh5 Anamorphic

[@EddiksonPena]

I come back to this video and the shot at the 1:20 mark never gets old. Gorgeous!

[@alyriatutoring5697]

It brings tears to my eyes when i see modern day camera tests filmed with true artistry such at this. Absolutely marvelous.

[@ichidomo]

Thank you!

[@jvburnes]

Still fantastic. I'm rebuilding my Sankor 16D / Helios pipeline right now. I decided to open the 16D up and apply some telescope flocking material to the inside to avoid the excessive internal reflections. I'll be testing it on the L-mount BM Pyxis which should be fun. It took a little while to find a native M39 to L-mount adapter for the Helios. Most people try to use a cheap screw adapter to M42, but that interferes with your ability to get infinity focus.

[@Ultrostre]

Your camera tests have more depth and life to themselves then most short movies do nowadays. Absolutely wonderful job!

[@ichidomo]

+Jean-Marc Plante that's the best compliment one could get. Thank you Jean-Marc

[@Ultrostre]

I was hesitating between the A6500 and the GH5, and I can say your videos convinced me!

[@DanceStarsNYC]

I love how you take that "digital" look out of your GH5 films!

[@ryansulak]

@Sal Romney how does one look less 'digital'

[@matto29]

Looks exceptional, unsurprisingly. The play of light in this one is pretty sublime.

[@Mikeyorself]

Hey man just saw you on the CRAFTSHO feed. Awesome!!

[@ichidomo]

Wah Wee yes, big fan of Drew and beardman :)

[@Mikeyorself]

Yeah me too. Really happy I found your Channel also. I have a GH5 and watching your Anamorphic work is making me think seriously about purchasing an Anamorphic setup. How practical is it to shoot Anamorphic? Would you shoot a film with it? Also do you have a single focus setup?

[@ichidomo]

Wah Wee all I can say it's VERY addictive, so beware. It's hard to shoot spherical again once you've grown accustomed to scopes.

[@FunnFoto]

1:52 is magic ha ha .. good job. You have me up in the air on if I should go GH5 or Z6.

[@Bigk3695]

The Nikkor H is said to be the Sharpest Nikon lense in existence at the moment. BRAVO‼️🎉🎉

[@jvburnes]

Incredible. 7 years old and still one of the most beautiful anamorphic examples. Tell me you're working for Lucasfilms or Scott Free by now, ichidomo. :)

[@seriouslaundrymovie1957]

This is super inspiring!! I'd be so interested to see you do some narrative film work with this... and see how it handles indoors where you can't necessarily be 10-15 feet away from your subject. Excellent work!! Thank you!

[@MrScarface37]

Very, very, beautiful done.

[@amvjc2]

Pffff wat is dit weer een kunstwerk zeg! Echt super inspirerend. Volgende week ga ik dan eindelijk mijn GH5 kopen (ben er nog steeds niet uit met welke lens). Ga zo door zou ik zeggen ik geniet er heel erg van!

[@pangrac1]

Wow. I love that typical mashed anamorf background. Also that slomo flying hair moment is nice.

[@studioaspirations]

Bravo! Magic frames and music! I watched several times.

[@JeremyY]

The colours in this test look incredible. I'll be asking Santa for a 50mm Nikkor-H! I thought that a 50mm lens might be a bit too cropped it on the GH5, but you've proven me wrong!

[@nathanleon5039]

This is absolutely magnificent

[@poweredbythemotivation]

love your work, i was wondering if i could get more info on this setup and how it was put together?

[@AbigailGonzalezbigui1964]

just beautiful... love the cinematography and the music.

[@Arri.]

So filmic and the atmosphere is just top level

[@cryora]

Imagine if there was like an alien invasion happening in the background that would have been epic

[@giorgiomarangolo]

Hey man, this looks incredible! The best GH5 Anamorphic footage I've seen so far! How did you retune/realign your sankor lens? Did you use any lut for color grading? Keep up the good work, I'm enjoying your videos!

[@zwolleinfo8032]

Good heavens! How did you achieve this so beautifully...

[@poman911]

These vintage anamorphic lenses give a sharp but dreamy background look that brings to mind the French Impressionist paintings. The modern anamorphic lenses (SLR magic/Surui) don't have that sharp but dreamy background look. Hence I bought both the Surui 50mm 1.33x as well as the ISCO Ultra Star Red with the Rapid FVD-16!

[@bavofreestyles]

Which one do you enjoy using the most? I am still undecided on whether I should go the anamorphic adapter route or just buy a Sirui.

[@poman911]

@@bavofreestyles I prefer the ISCO but it's only for static set up. hard to focus but beautiful images. No Sirui for me. I use mostly the 50GM f1.2 now.

[@stevofoo]

Gorgeous! Nicely done.

[@AfoteyAnnum]

The shot at the 1:01 mark though! #CinematographyGoals

[@AutismFamilyChannel]

Question: You mention the "taking lens" being a Nikkor-H. I thought the Sankor did the photography. From what I understand a Twin-lens reflex camera uses 2 lenses (one for the viewfinder, and the taking lens for the picture). Can you clarify how this works on the GH5? Thanks.

[@AutismFamilyChannel]

Never mind, I found a setup rig for the GH5 and it basically used an adapter so it changes the definition a bit because technically both lenses are taking the image, but the Nikkor-H is the one mounted to the body (lens mount). Hope I got that right.

[@kenwebbsite]

Did you use the desqueeze in camera function? Is that set up for 2x only? I tried it with the 1.33 SLR magic and the desqueeze looks funny.

[@aarongotch2955]

Dude this is AMAZING!!!

[@cidcid4207]

Is it posible you tell us which sankor are you using? 16C, 16D,16F, 16H? Or maybe the gold Sankor anamo-Prime | 2x Stretch Anamorphic Lens Cinemascope M? Thank you in advance. Great job, by the way!

[@ichidomo]

Thank you! I’m using the 16F here.

[@cidcid4207]

@@ichidomo Cheers mate! you earn a subscriber! I was thinking the gold sankor was best of all of them, but probably there is not much of a diferent from the others. Saving money to get probably the 16f. Thank you so much, you made my day. :)

Absolutely gorgeous

[@ichidomo]

Thank you Gus!

[@Cristovao117]

Amazing footage man! Which one was the taking lens used?

[@robertolucasmiralles761]

Amazing shots. I would like to test anamorphic on my GH5 but i dont know about the setup and the lenses. Could you explain your gear / setup please?

[@ichidomo]

Roberto Lucas Miralles. Thank you. The world of anamorphics is quite immense. I'd suggest to head up to Tito Ferradans channel and see some of the options available. My gear is as described above, sankor 16F to a nikkor lens to a speedbooster. But there are many options and routes.

[@DobanLucian]

It looks incredible what you did here. Incredibly !!! I have shot with gh5 so far, with 35mm x1.33 lenses ( sirui ) Now I switched to the Panasonic S5, and an option for anamorphic would be the lens from Sirui, 50mm t.2 9. But, it will never look like your film, with this Sirui lens. What option do I have to have the same effect as you, but on full frame? Can you help me please ? I congratulate you for what you have done here. This is no longer a film, it is art.

[@DobanLucian]

Mate ... I can't stop watching what you've done here :) I'm still looking for alternatives, to see what setup or lens I can use. I found something, Great Joy 50mm T2.9 x1.8. I will do some more research, but I really like the way your image looks. How could I do the same? (on full frame)

[@ichidomo]

Thanks for your compliment. This was shot some time ago already. I do own the S1H now for the past 2 years but haven’t been uploading any personal stuff for quite some time. This was shot with a sankor 16F, no variable diopter, so I just stayed within focus range. I used a speedbooster so the sensor was equivalent to a 4:3 with 18mm height (13mm sensor divided by metabones 0.71x speedbooster). You can get a similar look on the s5 in c4k with a 2x lens and a 50mm taking lens. I’m not a fan of the great joy to be honest but I have been deep in anamorphic for some time so I can’t live with the look it delivers. For ease of use and readyness it’s a great start to get your toes into anamorphic shooting without the headache of DIY rigs. That said I still prefer the look of certain scopes combined with certain taking lenses. I’ll upload something soon shot with the S1H and a new setup I have been trying. If you want to dive deep into anamorphic head over to our facebook > anamorphic shooters. All the best!

[@DobanLucian]

@@ichidomo Thank you very much for the answer! Yes, I got the pleasant taste of anamorphic lenses, I'm a beginner in this, I don't know much informations, but what I know for sure is that no lens, such as Sirui, or great joy, can bring out the same feeling as the combination made by you. But somehow I'm afraid, because I don't know what it means and how to make the combinations of lenses, etc., to be able to produce a good quality (practically, not to make mistakes). I joined the group on Facebook, I also answered questions there. Thanks for the opportunity, I'll be there to learn how to do things like you. Thank you !

[@DobanLucian]

Mate ! I managed to buy a schneider mc 2x (in superb condition) + helios 44 2 + jupiter 9 85mm. I am waiting for the package from Rapido to arrive (I bought the whole package, rmj, fmj and vd from them vfd 16a). I can't wait to assemble them and test them! :) Thank you very much. Through your films, you made me want the same thing very much. You motivated me a lot! I also thank you for the fact that you told me to join that group where I learned a lot! ( can you say what song is in this video please ? ) :)

[@impatrickt]

This music is in nocturnal animals.

[@TK42138]

Nice film look - good choice of music. Not sure if some of the verticals were slightly off but only in one or two shots. Perhaps it was slight barrelling caused by the anamorphic. I hasten to add it didn't spoil the film. And I call it a film because that's what it felt like. Are you on the Anamorphic Shooters Facebook page?

[@jvburnes]

Panasonic really needs to use this as demo footage for the GH5. Seriously. Have you tried to sell it to them, Ichidomo?

[@ichidomo]

Thank you. Sadly Panasonic (official Panasonic India division) already ripped/downloaded one of my video's last year and posted it on their official FB page without my knowledge, only found out about it by chance. Still have to contact them about it.

[@jvburnes]

That is a bit sad. Maybe you can parley it into a gig at least. It's a tough business. I'm trying to finish a Star Wars trailer for my demo reel. Actually been trying to get it just right for the last year. At least I've got Mauri Galliano for my DP :) vimeo.com/202398122

[@jvburnes]

I'm pretty sure I could write a spec commercial for Panasonic GH5 directly from this. Just do a little creative editing so the Olympus isn't featured quite so prominently and you have demo reel material. :)

[@smalltownsavouries]

Anamorphic is a new world to me. How do you stack these on your camera? Sankor -> Nikkor -> Metabones? -> Gh5?

ichidomo thanks. Also did you use the anamorphic mode in the GH5, i think it's the 4K photo mode?

[@ichidomo]

Ferhan Khan Photography The 4:3 anamorphic mode was used. Not the photomode.

[@MarkoLos]

Hey man I love your vids just got a sankor 16c.. I also have metabones XL speed booster. Do you recommend using that with a taking lens say 50mm 1.4 then sankor. Would there be any vignetting? Do you turn off the ibis all together or do you use the anamorphic ibis setting. Also if you know a good place where I could learn all this stuff I'd really appreciate it. I'm new to anamorphic .Keep up the awesome work.

[@jvburnes]

Fantastic demo of the Sankor ichidomo. I have the 16D and after watching this I think I'm going to get a CoreDNA single focus for it. What was the taking lens? I posted this on the EosHD anamorphic forums if you haven't already.

[@Crcvmbdfl]

Beautiful video. What is the name of the song?

[@SymonSaysTV]

Nice shots, beautiful location and the colors are wonderful. Slomo adds a lot. Only one thing though, I'm sure you know of the rule of thirds. Therefor i think there is generally too much headroom. It looks like she's drowning in the frame. Then from 2:38 on, framing is perfect. Over all, Good job. The mood is superb! Looking forward for more.

[@ichidomo]

+Symon Says TV Hi Symon thank you. I'm aware of the rule of thirds and certain shots not being in perfect framed harmony. I'm a graphic designer by origin. I was filming almost blind and wide open, no monitor and the gh5 flying on a gimbal, most shots are estimations. For grading and testing purposes I kept some shots in the edit to examine certain characteristics of the lens for own purposes.

[@SymonSaysTV]

Just re-watched it on my computer this time, man those images are nice. It's a dreamlike video. Often images with anamorphic adaptors are soft even on subject, but you seemed to have nailed it perfectly most of the time. I don't know if you were double focussing or working with a rangefinder but it's just perfect. Well you said you were working with a gimbal, so I don't know how you managed to keep focus but anyway. This anamorphic lens is a winning combination for you. The softness in the bokeh is superb! I'm assuming you were shooting in 4x3 with a 2x adapter? Also is this in Switzerland?

[@antoninoamoroso4171]

Absolutely stunning! Love the bokeh and the mood it gives to the images. The best gh5 anamorphic footage I've seen so far. Do you think the Sankor 16F is the best one compared to 16c and 16d?

[@ryansulak]

[@kin869]

Hi Ichidomo, I heard that the VFR modes on the GH5 have more moire/aliasing at higher framerates (specifically at 180fps). Do you find shooting at 150fps more acceptable? Are there any framerates that you try to avoid because of moire/aliasing? Thanks!

[@LongNguyenDP]

I love you video! which setting in Cine - D you used? Original or Custom setting? Thank you😍😘😍

[@dyvanho3949]

very nice video bro i got a sony a6300 and also i have bought the sankor 16f do i get the same picture as you is i buy the nikkor-h 50mm ?

[@ichidomo]

+Dyvanho The image ratio will be different since for the correct desqueeze ratio with 2x scopes it's best to shoot in 4:3 mode instead of 16:9. Sony a6300 doesn't have a 4K 4:3 anamorphic mode as far as I know. For a correct cinemascope ratio you'll have to crop the sides in 16:9.

[@27hyatt]

Hey, how do I get similar results with 1DX MII?

[@FaunoProduction]

This is wonderful! Do you think its possible to have this look with GH5 + Metabones 0.71 + 50mm 1.8 canon + Sankor 16F ? Thanks!

[@ichidomo]

It's all trial and error, some primes vignette more than others, only advice I can give you is to try it out since I have no experience with the canon FD lens as a taking lens.

[@andreasanna4844]

Amazing!!! Sorry, can I ask you which color settings (luts or everything else) did you used? Thanks a lot and congratulations

[@goproclaimhisname9375]

Hi man! just want to confirm you for this shoot, you only have you gh5 + speedbooster + nikon h 50mm f2 + sankor 16f lens? NO DIOPTER for this shoot? if yes, which one?? Also, do you know the different between this sankor 16f lens and other 16f lens? like singer, kowa 16f lenses? Thank you very much!!!!

[@ichidomo]

Hi Steve Fu. Yes for this shot I used a gh5 > nikon metabones speedbooster> nikkor-h nippon kogaku> sankor 16F > slrmagic variable diopter. I adjusted the set at about 2m distance. I have had another sankor 16F but it had a slightly different coating blue towards magenta. The one used here had more deep blue coatings. Eiki 16F for example has a smaller rear and vignettes more easy. The sankor 16F has a fairly big rear element yet is more compact than let’s say a 16C model.

[@stevofoo]

@@ichidomo Hi man! thank for the information and you time to replying!!! I have done some research, and find out the sankor 16f and eiki 16f are quite similar?

[@matthewspasaro9228]

Love this!

[@metascopefilm]

Hi :) I have a similar setup at the moment (GH5+Canon FD 50mm 1.4+Sankor 16F) and i keep wondering if you cropped the video since there is almost no black vignette apparent and your nikon is around 35mm with the speedbooster and to me that seems far too wide to not have a visible black vignette with the sankor. Would be awesome if you could bring some light into this darkness :D thanks a lot!

[@ichidomo]

Hi, I didn’t crop any parts that are shot in 50fps 4:3. This is all pure 2.66:1 without any crop, not even at 2.39:1. The only crop are the 100fps shots at the end in since it had to be shot in VFR mode in 16:9. I also have a couple 50mm f1.4 lenses, those do tend to vignette a lot more than f1.8/f2 lenses, pancakes or smaller front elements pair better with most scopes. So in short, it depends on your taking lens, and your clamp options.

[@metascopefilm]

Whohooo you aswered :D Just to let you know, I am following you for about two years now and I am a really big fan of you work, especially this video. It just speaks to me in a way I can't explain and I think at least half of the views are just me hitting the replay button and I am not even joking :D I actually wasn't aware of the physics behind more pronounced vignetting at smaller apertures, but I did some research and now I am smarter, thanks to you! :D I'll let you know how the sankor behaves paired with the speedboosted Canon FD 50mm 1.4 if you're interested in that. Cheers!

[@metascopefilm]

Yeah, the 1.4 is vignetting like crazy as you said... I guess I have to start looking for a 1.8/2.0 alternative even though i like the 16F/FD1.4 combination a lot.

[@jamesvfx]

Is there a tutorial or tip on how to tune up the Sankor?

[@TVBlackCloud]

Hey, I've been looking for the Sankor 16f but there are lots of different ones. What model was this?
