Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted June 29, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted June 29, 2020 In general I would describe it as lockdown-specific production, based on the need to shoot something without, you know, meeting anyone. This made extensive use of close-up lenses as the Sirui 50mm doesn't focus nearly close enough to do most of this without. I presumably owe some sort of swear box a donation on the basis of shooting an arty macro of a plant. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Satsuki Murashige Posted June 29, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted June 29, 2020 Gorgeous color and texture, Phil! The XT4 is quite nice, isn’t it? Did you shoot in F-Log, or did you use a color profile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted June 29, 2020 Author Premium Member Share Posted June 29, 2020 Thanks for all the kind words; I maintain that macro makes everything automatically look good, and slow motion makes everything automatically look good, so if you do both at once you're probably breaking some sort of rule. 13 hours ago, Robin R Probyn said: Nice one ..

Did you shoot in F-Log, or did you use a color profile? I thought it had nice colour. There is noticeable moire on certain patterns, but most of the content of that particular piece is natural objects that don't really provoke it. It was shot in log and I imported the appropriate LUTs into both Resolve and the SmallHD 1703. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Lo Presti Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Lovely images. I bought early into the Fuji X system, for stills, back when they were seriously lagging in the mirrorless video market. It's incredible how far they've come, to the point where they've now pretty much cornered the market. Some of the flares/light leak effects (?) remind me of some experimenting I'd done with "free lensing"; not sure how common a technique it is in a professional setting, but it certainly creates similar interesting effects, while conveniently reducing the minimum focus distance...

Joel Andersson Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Love this! I've heard that the stretch is changing throughout the focus distance. Did you notice that at all? Im seriously considering these anamorphic lenses, would be a nice complementary to my FD glass i believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is almost inevitably some variability of compression in out-of-focus areas with most anamorphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of it is just me waving a flashlight around just out of frame. I shot some generic lens flares against black and composited them. Lots of compositing and layering in that.

Christopher D. Arrington Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Great creativity here, the macro and anamorphic combination really sells it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
