RED One MX//ANAMORPHIC tests

Spent some time recently testing my Lomo squarefront anamorphic lenses on my RED One outside of the standard 4K ANA record mode.

These shots were all captured at the camera's full 4096x2304 resolution.
The exteriors are 24p and cropped to about a 3:1 aspect ratio.
Interiors are un-cropped and conformed from 30p.

I really wish Red had added a 4.5K ANA mode like they added the 4.5K widescreen mode.
That would allow me to see more of these lenses field of view and with anamorphic, that's where a lot of the magic hides; distortion, vignetting, bowing, mmm...





UPDATE: I did a few more tests since it's got a little nicer out.

The following edit plays twice; first un-cropped at 3.56:1 then with a 2.67:1 crop.

GH3 Feature Film Shoot

Still grabs from Adam Christie's feature film debut 'Weak Ends'. This microbudget project was shot fast and furiously at the beginning of June in the beaches area of Toronto. I was the cinematographer and shot the film on the Panasonic GH3 with Lomo spherical lenses mounted with the Hot Rod PL system.

new demo reel!

tis the season for a new demo reel!

GET OUT

My brother made a little horror film in his apartment building and he asked me to create an original score for the piece.

So here it is, my first attempt at a film score!



And here is the film!

Blackmagic Cinema Camera

In the calm after last week's snow storm, we were able to test out the new Blackmagic Cinema Camera.

We used a 35mm nikon and the Kowa/Bell and Howell 2x anamorphic adapter to make this little edit:


BMCC/Anamorphic/ProRes from Ryan Glover on Vimeo.

Shot in Log ProRes and graded in FCP 7.
Music: Grouper 'Heavy Water/I'd Rather be Sleeping'

I really enjoyed using the camera and both the ProRes and RAW files look incredible.
Can't wait to use the m43 unit with my Hot Rod PL adapter on a production!

I have some DNG shots available for download here.
Enjoy!

winterwalk. GH3 test video.

Got a few minutes to play with the Panasonic GH3.

Here's the obligatory anamorphic test video!


winterwalk. GH3 anamorphic. from Ryan Glover on Vimeo.

50Mbps IPB. ISO 200.
35mm Lomo anamorphic. Hot Rod PL.
Standard all -5 (which gives a surprisingly flat image)

I think the camera is a nice update. Solid build.
Seems a little less noisy overall, and 800 and 1600 look nice.
No weird solid line thing at ISOs 800+. Dynamic range feels a little wider.
Not having the lcd/hdmi gamma change when you hit record is great.
For these few reasons alone I'd be much more comfortable using it on set.


And here's two grabs from a 50mm spherical Lomo. 

Recently...

Here's a look at a pair of short films I DPed this fall!
Both were photographed on the GH2 patched with FlowMotion2.02 and Lomo anamorphic lenses.

"Alice" directed by Giles Greenwood.









"Why Did I Laugh?" directed by Howard Gordon.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Hope everyone has been enjoying fall so far!
Here's a cheesy little mood piece in honour of Halloween.

Watch nice and loud...

Here's a few shots from the raw footage before I analogged it up!
Shot with my Lomo anamorphic lenses mounted with the Hot Rod PL.
I used the FlowMotion v2 patch.














And a shot of me dubbing out of FCP:

more GH2 anamorphic

My brother Josh finally got his hands on a Kowa 8z 2x anamorphic adapter. He came over at sunset to try it out with my SmallHD DP6 monitor and I shot these on my GH2 with a Lomo 35mm anamorphic Lens at T4 with a +1 diopter:
