Anamorphic Lenses - Everything you need to know (feat Tito Ferradans)

👉🏼 English Subtitles are available.
I just found a cheap Anamorphic lens and i am now thinking about shooting anamorphic footage in my next videos.
But the world of anamorphic lenses is very difficult to understand, so i asked some help to Tito when he was visiting Paris, we sat down for a quick interview and some questions about Anamorphic shooting

thanks for making anamorphic even more hard to find ... -.-

[haarieke]

Great to see Tito and Mathieu together!

Shooting Anamorphic needs some patience but than every shot has something magic!

[Spookspek]

2:54 "...and provide greater service to mankind!" That escalated quickly... I wish we still worked and advertised with this frame of mind!

[syahmirga]

damn this guy just said "we see the world more horizontally then vertically" and now im shook lmao

[Flakka-]

You have such high quality content Mathieu. You and Sean Tucker are the only photo channels I watch anymore. The best of the best!

[HomeroAGonzalez]

Mathieu, Always Learning, Always Teaching, Always Sharing, Always introducing us to terrific people. Thank you!!

I am not sure I understand. What is the difference between anamorphic and ultra wide angle cropped to same aspect ratio? Anamorphic stretches image to the sides, so people look stretched and smaller? Could this effect be simulated digitally on a wide angle of same field of view?

[erodotou]

We need our Tito back! We should definitely sponsor him so his time is worthwhile!

World war two Tankers... rhats when Anamorphic lenses first were used.
Tankers needed a wider field of view to identify enemy tanks.

World war two. Not world war one...
During world war two there were tank battles. (Tank vs. Tank)

World war one there were no tank battles the tanks had a different mission...

I like the anamorphic effect it makes the film projects really look cinematic.
Even if it's a cellphone video its still very cool..
I got an anamorphic lens 1.33 for my cell phone it has the blue flares effect and man its relly cool to shoot at night or sunsets or early mornings...
Great stuff....
So many great cinemascope movies.
Halloween (John carpenter)
Apocalypse now (Francis Ford coppola)
Gone with the wind ... D'django (Quintin Tarantino)

The Anamorphic Lens: What better tool to make the *JJ Abrams Horizontal lens flares! Horizontal lens flares _everywhere!!!_

[EugenioTrainer]

Nice to see Tito in your channel, I have a few anamorphic lenses and I love it
Great video

[Alorand]

So what's the one lens Tito settled on? Anyone read his blog?

[videoclipsdude]

Exceptionally good and informative clip sourcing from personal experience! Really enjoyed. Thanks

[alanbesedin]

Exellent video! Nothing but love for Tito!

I noticed only 2 big benefits. First question that comes to mind is why not just shoot wider with a wider lens. Answer is pretty simple. Say you are shooting a closeup at 135mm and really like the compression and everything else that makes the look, but you would want a wider frame at the same compression and perspective. That’s where anamorphic comes to the rescue. Shooting at 135mm anamorphic gives the same compression and perspective of 135mm at a much wider field of view (lets say at 60mm, not doing the math here). Thus, a 60mm normal lens vs a 135mm anamorphic will be 2 different worlds.
2nd. The bokeh and flare. Bokeh’s more vertical. As with bokeh science, if you use any shape gobo made of paper or cardboard in front of your lens, your bokeh will turn into that shape. Pretty self explanatory where the vertical bokeh comes from when you look at the shape of the lens elements, or opening or whatever you choose to call it (just look through the lens). As for the flare, the flare is horizontal. It changes the look from a normal lens. Normal lenses can have various shaped flares but mostly they are either round or oval. However, the flare on an anamorphic lens is a look in itself.

P.S.: these were the conclusions i came up with from this video. If something is wrong, please correct it. If you know more, please mention below in a comment so I and others like me can gain some more knowledge about these lenses. Thank you for reading this.

Wonderful review, full of the needed content, as always.

[PlotlineFilm]

Thank you both for educating and illustrating the history and your experience with using anamorphic lenses. I learned a lot!

[TamilMediaTV]

It's nice to see 2 of my favorites together! I will still say I have purchased that Novoflex 600mm from Matthieu and it's not with him anymore 😜 and with Tito in the past I have asked few doubts which he cleared me up. He is too knowledgeable person in Anamorphic Lens! ✌

[rNn_SD]

This is the best video on the subject. Thank you!

[AtticusColdfield]

God this is such a good video, specially with that wonderful French accent! Fresh breeze in a summer of generic reviews
