Please checkout the RU-vid channel Chris Filmmaker he is french and is very good with his Panasonic GH5 and Blackmagic 4K camera. And also checkout a film titled Shanghai, Scarlett and Me it's on RU-vid
I knew in my head that there are still capable cinematographers on this planet. One more reason to conserve this blue marvel. Thanks Tom - although you cannot help it being so good ;-)
Congratulations Tom. The frames look gorgeous. Currently trying the same set up with a Canon nFD 50mm 1.4. Your capacity to dual focus is amazing mate. Far out. Well done.
Hi! Checking out your comment after a year. I brought the same nfd lens and im thinking of buying the isco. May I know How has your experience been? Also if possible could you also upload some footage of what you shot? Specifically with that large 1.4 apeture?
@@SatyamSaxenaLethalVenom Forgive the late reply, just saw the comment. I have an ISCO RED. I found the ISCO sharp when paired with the nFD 50/1.4. I would shoot the NFD starting at f2 for best results. I'll report back if I find some footage. = )
this is amazing, it's like cinema, great job, I used to have GH4, now I'm thinking about buying GH5 soon, your video convinced me even more to do it. Fantastic footage!
Incredibly beautiful work! I like how this solution is a little more messy and soft on the edges than some of the higher end options out there. It really makes me think twice about using a SIRUI lens when I could probably get a setup like this going for a little less.
Thank you! No, everything in this edit was dual-focus. I do have a Rapido front variable diopter 16A, but it makes the rig a lot bigger/heavier and causes vignetting, so I didn't use it during this trip. Using it with an 85mm taking lens fixes the vignetting.
It’s not hard but it takes a bit of extra time. You have to guess the distance to your subject, then turn each lens to the right distance marking. Then zoom in digitally on your camera and fine tune by eye. It works fine if you have time and your subjects are not moving a lot. If you need to be fast, or if you need to rack focus during the shot, you’ll need a variable diopter, which I use in some of my later anamorphic videos.
Beautiful!! Great choice of music as well! How was the double focus with the Isco? I am currently looking into buying my first projection lens but the double focus sounds like a nightmare, especially while street shooting but you seemed to manage well!
Hi! Love your shoot! Where can i find an ready similar isco ultra star 2x to attach to my old canon 50 mm fd? I have the GH5. Live in Sweden. Best regards Joachim
Hi Tom. I`m currently doing a introduction video to Anamorphic adapters. I am wondering if I can use some of your footage here. Duration is about 10 secs?
V-Log L profile. I responded to a similar question so I’ll copy that response here: Within the overall grade there’s two that I use at different points for specific reasons. The first is FilmConvert’s Kodak 5207 Vision3 emulation, which I like to use instead of Panasonic’s proprietary V-Log to Rec709 LUT because the V-Log has a magenta shift that’s annoying to correct for. The second is Juan Melara’s Linny recreation, which I used in LUT form because this was an old project that I was working on in FCPX and it lacks the color tools to make those adjustments without a LUT. Now I use Resolve though, so I just do it with various nodes and that’s nice because it allows more fine-tuning.
4K Anamorphic. Its technically 3.3k (3328 x 2496) but I guess they call it 4K since the megapixel count is similar to DCI 4K due to the taller image size.
Isco Ultra Star HD plus. It flares less easily than the others, which I personally like. But if you are after anamorphic flares, this is not the lens you want.
@@TomBolles Thank you very much for the infos. The image is so amazing that flares are no more necessary... Is this a 55mm, or 52.5, or 32.5 or 75mm? I'm trying to find one but there are so many versions...
Tom Bolles do you have an Instagram where I can privately message you. And on what editing platform do you use to edit this film. And also would I be able to get a similar colour if I was to use the Panasonic Gh5s. And can I buy this lut from you.

Over distortion, doesn't seem to serve a purpose every time in framing. Over contrast neither. The Isco MC (ur 50mm, 1.8 taking lens) is near distortion free, but if u add the anamorphic element + x0.64 metabones u'l get out of the design enveloppe and kill the anamorphic pleasure... If u need more fied u'd rather try a x 1.5 crop sensor instead M4/3. People have to remember these lenses are design to cover at least S35, and in some case full frame, over 105mm for the taking lenses.
