Mathew Rudenberg Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) I was immediately struck by a couple of images in the opening of Godzilla vs Kong. They show a very particular lens flare and a distorted circular bokey reminiscent of a helios. I see online it was shot on Alexa 65 with DNA primes. Are these artifacts typical of DNA primes or was a particular lens was used to create them? Thanks in advance.

Montell Taraschewski Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Hey there Mathew, we achieved a similar effect/look using these special diopters made by vantage in combination with uncoated Zeiss high speeds. https://www.vantagefilm.com/en/tools/vantage-squeeze-diopters Greetings from Germany,Montell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KH Martin Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 My piece at ICG gets into it somewhat, too. Starts on page 50: https://www.icgmagazine.com/web/icg-magazine-april-2021-digital-edition/ I haven't read how much got cut (I went way overlong on the story), but imagine there is still some mention of the Petzval lenses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Moosbrugger Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 They may have been modified by Arri for lower contrast and increased veiling glare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
