Andrew Brinkhaus Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hey guys, I'm working on a show this weekend shooting RED with Todd AO anamorphics (first gen), just curious if anybody has worked with these lenses before. Any tips or advice for general on-set use and handling is appreciated. (Please don't link to Max's thread on anamorphics, I have read it thoroughly.)

Premium Member Adam Frisch FSF Posted November 13, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted November 13, 2008 Funny you should say that. 50 Cent's latest video was shot with Todd-AO's on the Red camera by Claudio Miranda. The Todd's are noticeably softer than most other anamorphics, but they flare uniquely and very heavily. Nice look to those lenses. http://videos.onsmash.com/v/zcybbhaGVaTdhCFP Also check out Claudio's new anamorphic and spherical lens flare tests. They're very informative. http://www.claudiomiranda.com/lenstest/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Rodgar Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) That is some of the most stylized RED footage I have seen. I would like to see the HD version of it, but it looks OK at the laughable you tube compression. Claudio did a good job, and the softness of the ToddAO lenses could really compensate for the sharpness of the video image. The tests are awesome for comparison. Kudos to Claudio!
