SCOPE Chapter Two - The anamorphic battle - Cine Lenses, Attachments & Adapters - Epic Episode #16

[@MathieuStern]

Pop Corn, Home projector, a cool drink and am ready to watch this masterpiece

[@EddiksonPena]

Always .. anytime I see Media Division and it’s almost 2 hours i already know what that means. I don’t even try to watch it until I get ready with snacks and all like the true cinematic experience it is!!

[@oetproductions8101]

I am watching this while eating popcorn out of an old Leica R lens. I buy them mint or in very good condition and make little vases out of them or cups. All you gotta do is take the elements out and toss them!

If KZbin views were based on quality, you'd be in the tens of millions. I'm constantly staggered by how fantastic your content is and how low your viewcounts are. At the very least, I love what you do and how you do it.

For real, your channel is crimally under-rated. The best production on youtube. No doubt you spend tons of effort on it and turns out to be a masterpiece.

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks a lot for your kindness... appreciated! It is hard to push the boundaries if less people are interested. Unfortunately, we will have to consider this one a flop

[@EmporiumDigitalStudios]

@@MediaDivision - Dont consider this one a flop. Really this video has reached its goal and target. Its a small niche (anamorphic stuff) and a lot of filmmaker are still ignoring (or afraid) to dive into it. It can be very overwhelming, expensive and scary for many. Now that we here in the company are into it for some years we mostly shoot anamorphic and videos like yours are such a pleasure to watch not only to learn more but also to share knowledge among the community. Please consider what we are saying here. Definitely without a doubt, this video and all you do are extremely supreme. Never give up!. This is totally an Oscar-winning video!

[@MediaDivision]

I am very glad you see it that way, but in the end I have to judge a video by what it does for us... and if that is in relation to what it cost us to do. It is not a success.

[@miguelangelcalderon3315]

Dear Nikolas and team, Just finished part 2 and, as with Part 1, I am absolutely amazed by the production value and overall care that you have put into this piece. The basis of every film is the script, and I can tell this one has been prepared with the utmost dedication and care. You have been able to explain in a clear and concise manner what is often difficult to describe with words. Congratulations!! From what I can tell, there is some disappointment regarding the view count. Despite all the wonderful comments, It’s a bummer, I get it. However, it would a pity to not see a Part 3 or, most importantly, more videos from you guys. If it serves as constructive feedback, I think the length has been a factor, but you probably know that already. Particularly, there were perhaps too many comparisons. I’m a nerd too, and I enjoy side-by-side views, but there is a point that once you reach it, it gets a bit repetitive. (Like with the uncanny valley effect, we’re amazed with the progression, but once you get to a certain point, it’s not enjoyable anymore. Hope you get the metaphor). I got to this point when we reached the adapters section (SLR Magic, etc). Also, I understand the desire of letting others speak (the Atlas guys, Tito and Dick), but the real charm in these videos is you, Nikolas, your wit, your sense of humor, the way you expliain things in a horizontal manner, how you share your opinion. YOU are one of the key aspects that makes the Media Division content FAR better than so many others out there. Cheers from a new member. :)

[@MediaDivision]

Hello Miguel, first and foremost that you very much for your support, We couldn't do what we are doing without the help of our members. Also, thanks you for engaging and making constructive suggestions. Yes, we have to consider this episode a failure in regards to view expectations and relevance in the relevant search criteria, at least if you put it in relation tho the work that went into it. Part 3 will come anyways of course… it will be way nerdier than this one. That is what we are trying to do here… go all the way down the rabbit hole. Our audience decides how deep they want to go, so I expect very low vies on SCOPE 3. If I learned one thing making films… you can't do it right for everyone. What you find repetitive is just not enough for the next person… and the comments reflect that. In the past I tried things because many suggested to do those… with horribly negative effects. "A camel is a horse designed by a committee" is a real thing. In the end I write and produce thing that I find appealing as I am the only critic I can really access and please. I have to bend to other peoples will in so many cases - this is the one project where I can express and answer for just by myself. In part, that is why I do this channel. Thanks again for your input.

Chipping away at this episode through the past week. Thanks to SCOPE chapter 1 and 2 I now know what Anamorphic is and have been able to spot it in some of my favourite films! I am not so sure about wanting to incorporate the anamorphic look into my productions, but I think this has been a vital lesson on Anamorphic filming for me. The presentation of this production is also top notch, just like your other videos. All these comparisons must have been a bit of a pain to shoot, especially for your friend in the knights armour! It is a bit baffling that this episode only got 15k views so far... let's spread this thing around ;) I really appreciate your work Nikolas!

I can't imagine that it would have been easy, but it was certainly inspiring. Truly talented people, all of you!

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks a lot! That shows how little a lens matters in the whole mix of things. Same is true for the camera. You definitely don't need to spend a lot of money to get to a cinematic image. It will always matter more, what happens in front of the camera. The setups for this test are not specifically planned or set up to make lower end setups shine - they are set up in this way as I like how it looks. It is always a good start to put something pretty/interesting on screen, like the robot, the projector, the armour… and use a lot of back lighting.

I'm in tears. You guys rock so much its hard for me to take it all in. (Pause on that) That said, I love the stache dude!!

[@MediaDivision]

Thats cute… thanks man Naaa… lost the second we finished… hate it. Everything for the role! Spread the word please!

[@oetproductions8101]

@@MediaDivision I‘m gonna tell everyone about you guys. Crazy underrated! Just like your stache apparently.

[@adeloyearts205]

Thank God! I've been waiting for this for such a long time! Glad to see you back and thanks for all the information!

[@MediaDivision]

This simply is how long it takes to put something like this together... would need more support to be faster... but I ensure you... I was never "away". With pleasure man...Spread the word, please!

[@PrisonJunkie]

Are you kidding me with this opening? Hilarious curveball. I want a BTS deconstruction of the thought process behind the decision to incorporate Magnum P.I.

[@maximilliannewcombe1719]

it was probably something to do with the moustache

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks Junkie... for me it was kind of obvious with the moustache and that Magnum p.i. was on when Blade Runner came into cinemas. Of course and most of all... both are in the same part of my brain with childhood memories... I think that does it. We have a 1 minute VFX breakdown in the facebook group... if you are interested. I will upload that as a short on Yt later too

2 hours long....brilliant cant wait to watch this. Thats my evening sorted!

[@MediaDivision]

Couldn't make it shorter… enjoy

[@Memory_Gatherers]

I am new to filming in general, my videos are just me walking about with a camera, complete newb stuff. But watching amazing quality film and just how outstanding results can be makes me think with a LOT and I mean a lot of effort that we can achieve some fantastic results. Your channel is excellent, makes me wish I were young enough to go to film school :) - watching your content makes me want to learn how to film better even with my limited canon Dslr gear or my old Sony HVR cam. Brilliant work guys.

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks a lot... if it is any consolation for you... I was over 40 when I started taking filming seriously and I never went to any school regarding the subject. You are not too old, you are not too poor, you might just lack the confidence to jump........ and the strength to get up after that jump went nowhere again and again. You can do it... but be aware that muses are difficult brides. Good luck
