Panavision - Anamorphic Lenses with UNLIMITED budget 

the Primo 24..275 is considered one of the greatest lenses ever created

Sadly not available in the UK :(

C Series = the pinnacle

@@mrotaveriaStar Wars!

They are completely different tools. They overlap in the sense that they're both anamorphics, and they're all lenses. But that's about it. There's a lot to a name. :P

I gotta put at least one thing wrong in important videos to create some engagement! Hahaha, just kidding. Thanks for the correction, my friend! :)

So the newer Panavision anamorphic lenses can be used with other cameras?

@@photomotion What does this have to do with my comment? But yes.

@@photomotion Technically, any Panavision lens can be used with any camera, as long as Panavision is approving of it. Because then they can change mounts on the camera. :P

Very good point.

Ayyy! No way! It's awesome that you're here! :D

Small world!!

The patents did expire and there are currently 2 non panavision lens series with the focusing method, the Caldwell chameleon 1.8x anamorphic, and the xelmus Apollo 2x anamorphic lenses, the apollos you can get for roughly $16k per lens and the chameleons for roughly $30k per lens

Vamo que vamo Brasil! Aqui eh Salvador, Bahia! :D

@@AnamorphicOnABudget Que legal! ótimo conteúdo, Parabéns!

@@paulinharm Obrigado! :D

The Alexa has to have its mount replaced to a PV mount so the lenses can go on it!

There are, but that's more of a "when you show up with millions of dollars in budget, we might make an exception". Not for the average person trying to rent them out.

@@AnamorphicOnABudget not going to lie, I was under the assumption that about near everyone that showed up for panavision lenses did so with millions of dollars lol. And I know they are the solid choice for 35(and 16)mm cameras which is another place I see a ton of their lenses pop up in credits. Just don't see their digital cameras popping up much in cinematography Oscar noms. Much less often than the lenses at least.

Very very true. Oscar nominations are the millions and millions of dollars cases though. hahaha. There's a lot of people filming with Panavision gear for commercials, TV shows, shorts, and other smaller features.

Yep, it was. I still don't get what's the giveaway. It seems to be very specific hearing circumstances. hahaha

@@AnamorphicOnABudget don't worry I've been using it myself in a professional environment and that's the only reason I picked it up 😂. I've realised it doesn't do well when something is said relatively quiet to the rest of a sentence or when something doesn't come through with super strong pronunciation, which leads to the AI over-correcting and pronouncing areas that don't really need to. It's definitely not a problem with your speech so don't worry about that. One thing I found to be useful is using a strong denoise pass available in whichever software you're using with white noise areas completely silent, then stack it with the AI denoise and play with the levels. Starting at 50/50 (eg. -8db/-8db) then pushing towards to AI track as much as possible without it being noticable. Realise it sounds like a lot of work but it actually only takes a couple seconds to do one you have the audio tracks in front of you. (Totally forgive you for using the software btw, I'm an editor by trade and don't care much for perfect audio so definitely does the job).

@@tomcattermole1844 "denoise pass" Do you mean a noise gate or a notch EQ?

@@editingsecrets Nothing like that, just whatever is available. I use Adobe Auditions 'Noise Reduction' and occasionally 'DeNoise' in Premiere. They both do the same thing with different levels of accuracy. All I'm referring to is something that will do a basic job of audio correction without too much work/distortion so that when played at the same time as the AI audio it sounds a little bit more natural.

@@tomcattermole1844 Got it, thanks.

If Panavision gives you a blessing (read: if you're renting millions of dollars from them), probably. But not on an average case.

@Anamorphic on a Budget Yeah I have no intentions of renting a Panovision lens. But I did look it up and yes you can adapt Panovision lenses to Canon EF and RF but the adapters are very expensive as well.

Not a great example for this video in particular, but I've been using the Rode GO for the last three years or so.

The Panavision look? A lot of the final look comes from lighting, atmosphere, and color correction. Most youtube folks will cheese the lighting (myself included most times)! hahaha

90% of cinematography is ***lighting*** Obviously lenses and cameras are important to make a movie look "not like a home video," but using better lenses does not magically make footage look better. I've only been out of film school for a couple years, and using the same cameras and lenses as before, it's staggering to see how much better my footage looks after slowly improving my lighting skills. Unfortunately, getting a "cinematic look" doesn't seem to be as easy as "use better lenses;" rather I think it's the result of a lifetime of constant practice perfecting your craft, and mostly focusing on the most important thing: lighting!

I did. If you read the other comments you'll see what's up. The environment was super loud and I was speaking quietly, so the original sound was barely comprehensible.

They used a variety of sets. hahahaah

I know, right? Just like ARRI and their $100,000 camera packages.

​@@JonPaisI mean, does Arri put power ports under their cameras?

@@zebius4157 I mean, does ARRI make cameras anyone can afford? Don’t be a fool.

Apple is for the prosumer market, not the professional market, as per your own comment, working with businesses would put panavision as being professional

​@@JonPais no but is that your bar for a company being apple like? To me, the bar for a company to be apple like is to be in the liminal space between consumer and professional aka the prosumer market while being unaffordable at the same time., Arri is by all accounts professional, same as Sony, they market to the market as such, theyre not in the prosumer market like red, black magic, or well, sony. Things are not black and white between the consumer and professional, and I'd argue that for a large portion of it's market that not even apple is professional

I don't think that's their vibe!

I think they technically did before they went rental only, in the form of the superama for 16mm film lenses that intentionally doubles as a projection scope, targeted at amateur filmmakers at the time

Imagine a Panavision set of anamorphics competing with Suiri in the $1000/lens segment of the market😂

There was probably a lot of hall in the room filmed this in

You're both correct! The original audio was terrible, and the Adobe thingy got me to a place where I was okay with it.

@@AnamorphicOnABudget ah makes sense!

@@AnamorphicOnABudget To be fair panavision vancouver has never been an audio friendly place. Prepping there for a few days can give you a mean headache.

Debatable with lenses, especially since most DPs choose lenses based on their aesthetic characteristics as opposed to just their optical quality.

bad recording + fixing with AI. :(

There was no voice before the Adobe thing. It was ALL noise. A rental house is not a great place to record voice. :P

@@AnamorphicOnABudget sheesh. Well glad that you used Adobe podcast then

Heyo! I can't find that message! Send me an email, please!
