Man you guys continue to level up this content and information!!!

[@johncox5839]

This is quite the compliment. Game recognize game.

[@jonathanhornby111]

I love how your videos are incredibly well researched. You help us make the most of our system while saving us from a lot of learning pains.

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Thank you so much for this comment! You summarized my mission statement here and it means a lot to see it without saying it! :)

[@jimmoss9584]

Are you sure about the variable data amounts per pixel? As an EE that doesn't really sound right. It is more likely that the per pixel data content is fixed.

[@mosswareproaudio6328]

Yeah, I am not buying either. I don't think he realizes what he is saying here. The camera would need to read the max bitrate then adjusts the data rate to that. Keep in mind that this can change due to heat and a few other things. He is not perfect, but I like his videos. Clearly he is not an engineer.

[@HeroesReforged]

G’damn, this was SUCH a good video. I’ve always been pretty frustrated with cameras only replicating the Super35 sensor size for video and the constant sensor cropping. I would love a true 4-perf sensor size to have the flexibility of using a variety of ana lenses. This guide has been so helpful.

[@buddyfx7026]

Bro your production quality has increased so much! Man as always I'm so grateful for what you've done. Thank you so much!

[@joyoffilming9500]

Again, a superb explanatory anamorphic video by the 'professor of anamorphic'. I really love your vodeos ans all the passion you put into anamorphic.

[@MxMattieRose]

One point for SMALLER sensors is that on DIY setups, the extra crop allows for wider taking lenses before you vignette. So while a Mir 37mm paired with a Kowa 16H, for instance, might not be very usable on my S1, it should clear the shorter Blackmagic sensor or micro 4/3.

[@trevorpinnocky]

I'm behind on these. I needs to catch up. Nicely done as always.

[@Praxiszooms]

thank you! Always great! You are the specialist for our anamorphic needs :D. Best here on youtube!

[@izzieb]

This series is great. These videos always tempt me to buy an anamorphic lens or adapter. Having said that, I have barely used my new camera and lens combo for video as it is (Panasonic S5 and Panasonic 24-70).

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Hahaha! Just use what you have for a bit! :D

[@izzieb]

@@AnamorphicOnABudget That's the plan! I'll probably spend my money elsewhere. Just a question, i know you use S series cameras - have you used Prores Raw or Blackmagic Raw, or do you use the internal codecs?

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

I haven't shot raw on them. I'm very happy with V-log 10bit. :)

[@EricGibaud]

Wonderful! Thank you! Now more questions LOL: I have the new Lumix S5II and I pair it with Sirui anamorphic 35mm and 100mm 1.6X - if I calculated ok…. If I record in 6K, I should select the 6K that gives the highest vertical resolution, the 3:2 instead of 17:9. Right? - if I place marker frame, according to my calculation the 2:39:1 if the one to chose. - do you prefer a 6K 4:2:0 or a 4K 4:2:2? Am I right? Thank you very much!!!

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

You're absolutely correct! 6K 3:2. Frame marker set to 2.39:1! It depends on the squeeze factor. For some things I'll use 6K, for others 4K. :)

[@EricGibaud]

@@AnamorphicOnABudget 😁😁😁 thank you 😀😀

[@MarkAfterDark]

Already have a GH5 and will be upgrading to a S1H because of everything listed 📸

[@VFXforfilm]

I never knew blade runners model VFX shots were 65mm spherical (spherical flares) While the live action film shots were 35 was anamorphic (anamorphic flares). BTW awesome presentation, taking everything to a whole nother level man.

[@sky.london]

Thank you, looking forward to the other eps on this mod.

I am dying for a Fujifilm XH2s 6.2 K no crop 3:2 open gate and Panasonic S5IIX 4:3 OG equivalent update on these numbers

[@Arquimedes_Aram]

Awesome... thanks for the course it's soooo complete 😀!!

[@johanankarback6821]

Great video! This is really good information. I have a question that´s somewhat related to this topic. It might be a stupid question but I´m asking it anyway :) Almost all movies are "widescreen" but not all have the anamorphic look with flares, oval bokeh and so on. Do they use ordinary lenses and just crop to the format they wan't in postproduction?

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Thank you! Not a stupid question at all. Yeah, almost all movies are cropped to conform to a specific aspect ratio. It's kind of what you see with the Jurassic Park example in this episode. On the next one we'll look at cropmarks, which are a key tool to make sure your framing is correct and fitting to your final aspect ratio! :)

[@johanankarback6821]

@@AnamorphicOnABudget Thanks for the answer. You learn something new every day :)

[@pauloemilio9841]

Great job!

[@WillBinks]

Always a fan of full frame looks however the problem with the extra height is although it’s useable for scope diy for 85mm and longer, at the wide end you’d still have to crop sadly as even a kowa bh/16h only barely works with 16:9 anamorphic mode of a 50-55mm lens:(. I think the only ‘budget’ full frame anamorphics are Vazen and they’re still 8k each :(

[@liveacousticsound]

What about the Sigma fp sensor at 3:2 compared to 16:9 or 4:3?. Also, who uses film any more, which is what you referred to as a reference? Sigma fp uses a full frame sensor, so how does this factor into what you are saying? Sorry, I am new to all this!

[@soberinho]

Bro, I understand the fact that Panasonic played a big role in contributing, but it would be needed to mention that you speak about pixels more than the actual phisical size cropping as it looks on the animations ;) Makes a big difference when comparing bigger sensor sizes (not resolution related). Either way - nice episode. I have a feeling that though it should be placed somewhere in the begining of all the modules. It is quite some information for all the beginers rather than experienced viewers ;) Keep on rocking, cheers!

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Thanks! Not sure I understand your point about pixels vs physical size. I'm very much talking about physical size and used physical size here. Pixel resolution is a "consequence" on most cases. Do you want to elaborate?

[@soberinho]

@@AnamorphicOnABudget Its more of a how you presented that crop in visualisations. You cut the top and sides off when speaking about 16x9 ratio crpped to 4x3 on other than panasonic sensors. That seemed visually wrong, unless visuals did not follow the script, but were just for "easy understanding" purposes. Example: 10:34 on your video. Of course that is true in a way, but it seems that you compare 16x9 sensors that you can't really find aywhere ;) A typical 16x9 sensor would have a APSC size vs the 4x3 of GH5's ;) Even an APSC cropped to 4:3 would still have a bigger sensor dimensions than a 4:3 native opengate gh5. Aint it true?

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

That's the core difference. When using other sensors, you are effectively cropping the sides when shooting 4:3, but on the GH5, GH5S, GH5II, you get more vertical size. An APS-C sensor has ever so slightly more height (1mm), and you waste a lot of your bitrate on stuff that doesn't matter (sides of the frame), lowering the 1mm advantage. Panasonic's S series also does a better crop into a full frame sensor for anamorphic than shooting APS-C on any camera and cropping to 4:3. Last, when you put a speedbooster on the GH5, you get a much taller sensor than APS-C on video mode (18.3mm vs 14mm). I hope this clears it up.

[@soberinho]

@@AnamorphicOnABudget yup, more-less I get the point you are trying to get across ;)

[@jaaypeso]

Loved this video and series! But i'm still a little confused. Does the Panasonic S1H just basically do the crop from a 16:9 full frame sensor in camera, with the only advantage being you save time in post production? Or are there actual differences in the height of the information that is being captured. I guess my question is could I theoretically get the same result on any full frame sensor that I crop in post. I'm not referrring to the GH5 which has the m4/3 sensor, but the S1H and S5 which have full frame sensors just like sony, canon, etc.

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Thank you! No, you couldn't get the same result cropping any other full frame sensor in post. The S1H actually adds about 4mm of height to the image in open gate mode. :)

[@MrRaychard123]

Hi would you recommend using the 6k anamorphic settings on a GH5 with a 35 1.8 Sirui?

[@zak_ray]

I normally look at the image circle to figure out if a lens will cover a given sensor mode. But with anamorphic, the circle is more like an oval. Do you know what anamorphic manufactures mean when they say "image circle"? Is it a diagonal measurement?

[@MountUpMedia]

Okay so to sum it up, shooting 6:5 on Red Gemini 5k is pointless, if so, what should be my crop marks if I gave a 2x scope and finishing on 2:4.1?

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

If using a 2x scope for 2.4:1 delivery, you should record with 6:5 aspect ratio. If another recording mode uses more sensor height than the default 6:5, just use that mode instead and apply 6:5 cropmarks. :)

[@mikemcglasson1286]

These videos are awesome! If I may point out a tiny issue though. You say "megabits", but the screen says "MB/s". The big "B" is for bytes.
