Structure of an Anamorphic Lens - Anamorphic Cookbook - Module 1 Chapter 04

[@juliuscruz8579]

This chapter is like a food nutrition label, boring to those who don’t understand it but pure gold to those who do. This is the good stuff, glass/optics are everything!

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

This might be the only situation where I don't mind the video labeled as boring. hahahaha

[@paradiselost9946]

i found this to be more like sugar coated cardboard. wheres some... angles? and i dont mean the constant change of framing used... some... information on perhaps... aligning a pair of prisms? brewsters angle, prism angle, and alignment angle say, for a given distortion? i got a quick animated diagram, but the rest was useless waffle stating the obvious.

[@wilwilson8146]

You don't know how many times I've googled "whats inside an anamorphic lens" or some variant there of. I

You are more well versed on cinema and anamorphic lens history than most university professors. Bravo!

[@connornyhan]

Just bought a 1st generation Isco Ultrastar, excited to start shooting scope.

[@chrisstlawrence2]

hell yeah

[@VariTimo]

Robert Richardson‘s favorite lenses on the Hateful 8 were prism anamorphics from the Panavision Ultra 70 Apo Panatar set. I have to agree these lenses render just unbelievably gorgeous.

[@hellopsp180]

ty for the info

[@JustinBacle]

Great stuff, as always Tito :)

[@Holtenstein]

This is a fantastic series

[@davidthefat]

Can you go into the difference between the Vazen 28mm design and the 40mm one? Like in the construction that allows for the squeeze factor to not change with focusing on the 28mm

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

I'm doing that in Module 2 Chapter 4! If you're not a member yet, members of the channel are already in Module 2 Chapter 2. :P

[@filmyardart]

Thx so thx so great as always

[@nothingness.emptiness]

Great video and information thank you

Shoutouts to Anamorphic lenses! They hook you down and hold you up!

[@user-ds9uw5nb7y]

I love the set for this video series, but I'm curious how you've got the effect of search-lights moving across everything? Love the work, best wishes!

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Thanks Taylor! I have my sister planted outside the window, holding a CAME-TV Boltzen light and slowly moving it while we were rolling! :P

[@user-ds9uw5nb7y]

@@AnamorphicOnABudget No way!! I was going to joke that something like that was happening but it seemed too funny to be true hahaha, that is amazing if true, truly taking your account name seriously :) Has a great ambient effect to it!

[@GadrielDemartinos]

Who - would hit the thumbs down button on this!? Probably someone who misread and was searching for the "Anarchist Cookbook" review...

[@johncarter2741]

We’re not worthy! Great series sir

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Thank you! :)

[@ZvilgantisKailis]

Some random questions: 1. Who is waving those lights in the background? 2. What lens this video is shot on? 3. How many black cats magnets are behind your back? 4. I still don't know how to build and anamorphic myself.

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Let's do it. 1 - My sister. You can see her face in several of the test shots during this module. She's also a great cinematographer. :) 2 - The wide is the Atlas 40mm and the close up is Atlas 65mm. 3 - One magnet and two photos! 4 - That's not a question, but I'll bite. I'd be surprised if you figured how to build an actual lens just from this, but stick around and you'll learn how to put together your setup

[@mikemcglasson1286]

If the squeeze factor of a lens changes over the course of it's focus range, does that mean I have to desqueeze the image differently through each shot that changes focus? Let's say I'm using the new Sirui 1.6x lens, will I have to change the the X and Y zoom values (Davinci Resolve) every time there is a rack focus?

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Theoretically: yes. In practice, the difference is pretty small, plus it's only for a little bit of time (the duration of the shot), so, most people end up just living with it.

[@SabkoRamRam]

Bro u need to share DIY anamorphic lens by prism glasses 🤓

[@Veptis]

I suppose those variable squeeze anamorphic systems wouldn't work today anymore? having the option to switch between squeeze ratios sounds interesting.

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Maybe they would, but the limitations they introduce, with size and focusing, are really not worth the hassle. :P

[@alfonsojarago]

Just saw they took down the anamarphics in animation video :'( I was about to watch it. So bummed out! Any chance you'll make a non copyright infringing version soon?

[@lucbeloix8348]

0:40 - I think you meant " _Peasants_ " lol

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Close, but no, I really mean "pedestrian" as in "lacking inspiration or excitement; dull."

[@lucbeloix8348]

@@AnamorphicOnABudget It's a play on words, given the top hat and the monocle peasants sounds more appropriate xD

[@djinjis]

Cheato, do you want to buy a set of Lomo lenses?

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

I already own a set of LOMOs. Are you trying to give me another one? Also, "Tito", not "Cheato". ;)
