Thanks so Much Gene and Kari ! Really appreciate the opportunity to discuss Anamorphic lenses with you, and happy to answer any questions from your community and viewers !

I love the irony of having Deakins book on the table in a video talking about anamorphic 🙃

[FelixCervantes]

Of all the YouTubers I follow, Gene seems to get the most respect from Hollywood. Great video!

[CarlPaulsen]

Wow! Talk about customer engagement! I wish these guys all the success in the world. It's great to see real subject matter experts talking about their passion...

When the first re-boot of Star Trek with Chris Pine came out the first action shots of the Bridge of the ship are just beauty.
It lens choice in that part of the movie added so much to the film.
The scene lasted less an a minute but set the pace for the rest of the movie.
From 25 miles north of London, have a great Xmas.
Be lucky stay safe.

One of the best photo videos ever. The Atlas guys are great and inspiring. Potato Jet did a great job with the interview. Thank you.

[timdanyo]

These Atlas guys are the real deal. Artist innovators. Fascinating information!

[benbeattie]

Such genuinely lovely and tremendously knowledgeable chaps! It’s a joy to see such passion and a desire to pass on that wealth of expertise to others.
Thank you so very much Gene for sharing your experience of meeting the faces behind Atlas with us!

These lenses are incredible. My favourite are the Panavision T series but Atlas are looking like the second place contenders. Really great to ‘meet’ the owners.

[SubhasisMukherjee]

A much required discussion on the internet. Potato Jet done an incredible job.

Love this company and their products! My coworkers and I always visit their booth at NAB and collect their merch. Gene, I ran into you this year but I didn’t want to interrupt your interview. Great video!

[richardmendez]

kudos for the table angle with the monitor displaying your guests. never seen this in any youtube video before. small idea thats pushing content quality forward

[donmyers]

Man. I need to figure out where to begin on this one. Gene, you, your crew, Dan and Forrest have completely knocked it out of the park, the country, and the freakin local universe. I am a camera/lens newbie (halfway through LAFS while working as a Sommelier for MFG / Carbone . . . @ 47 years old), and if it weren't for you and Josh Yeo, I don't know where I would be. Dan and Forest's lenses are already spectacular and unique, and the extra attention to education and inviting people to create is humbling and downright teary-eyed inspiring. ( I'm not crying; YOU'RE CRYING!) I am so grateful to live in this era, but that would not be giving the credit and acknowledgment that all of you deserve. Thank you so much for this video and this deep dive into not only anamorphic lenses but our craft of film and lenses. You and Josh have already turned me into more of a SuperNerd than I could have imagined in this aspect, and I'm so happy that I'm apparently not alone. Lol. Please consider expanding a series like this with deep dives and education; I've learned more through you and your introduction to complex material than I would have gotten in 2 years of amateur film school. This and the ARRI episode have been a couple of my favorites, but let's be honest, you pack amazing content into every episode. Thank you again; your commitment to putting something great out for everyone is clear. YOU. FUCKING, ROCK, MAN. Deuces from Dallas.

[Skipsul]

This is very cool. As a business founder myself, I fully appreciate the guts and work of these guys.

[davelawery]

Brilliant, no other words for it. Merry Christmas and stay well 🇬🇧👍

[WilliamBurdine]

WHOA. That was the BEST Video in a while... Great information, Detail and what a couple of GREAT GUYS with such a generous offer!

[wyldflowerfilmwerks]

It was great meeting you at Atlas! My students were also stoked to meet you! Please do more of these deep dives

[cinemaipswich]

I recently took the lens of my Nikonos Underwater camera (50 years old), and modified an adapter ring to mount it on one of my Blackmagic Cameras. It captured an image that I have never seen before. Parralex was completely eliminated. A unique look. I bought an Anamorphic Projector lens from a auction sale of an old Cinema some 40 years ago. It was a prop for all that time. Now I will need to brush up on my trigonometry and mathematics before I even open the box.

I'm shooting with Orions for the first time this week. I am super excited to see how they work.

[OliKember]

So well shot and edited! Thanks for this. Great hang with Atlas.
