Petter Englund Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hello everyone! I'm currently in pre-production for a short set for principal photography by the end of the summer. We've decided to shoot anamorphic and had a chance to try the Hawk C-series today at our local rental house. Unfortunately, we won't be able to try the V-lites right now as they are away until just a couple of days before we start. I found the C-series to have a classic anamorphic look --- pretty low contrast, flary but not extremely, a bit soft until around T5,6. To those of you who have shot on both of these sets -- how would you describe the look/characteristics of the V-lites compared to the C-series? Sharper? More contrast? Bokeh? The C-series rent for about half the amount of the V-lites, but I guess that mostly has to do with the fact that the C's are older. Right? Any shared thoughts and/or experiences etc would be very much appreciated! Godspeed, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Zyskind Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hi Petter, I love the C Series Hawks. As you say classic anamorphic look. Mechanically they can be a little tricky as the front rotates but that doesn't bother me. You can have a look at The Two Faces of January which I shot on the C series Hawks. Cheers, Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
