It is the last part of our series about anamorphic lenses in cinema… and shooting anamorphic yourself for that extra sweet cinematic look. SCOPE Chapter Three is all about putting together an anamorphic setup that works for you… with many experiments, tips, tricks and modding guides. We will be explore Bokeh Design, compare vary diopters and look into how to achieve close focus on a budget. We are going to experiments with anamorphic zooms that will give you those Tarantino crash zooms, explain how to enhance anamorphic flares, for example by adding glass or removing the coating from elements… and we will modd existing lenses to more practical setups. If you are new to the scope series we definitely recommend to start at chapter one to get into the subject with history and formats, why anamorphic was resurrected, explain different anamorphic designs, and venture through the fashion and poetry of SCOPE formats. Chapter two is our anamorphic test and comparison episode. The battlefield for everything anamorphic vintage to new – from cine lens to cheap adapter.
