GH5 2nd Anamorphic Shot at night Brugge Belgium 8K

[JSFILMZ]

Things i learned from this shoot.

1. Double focus really do suck
2. Buy a sturdier tripod for a slider (couldnt use my slider at all)
3. GH5 is not an extreme lowlight camera
4. Never handhold anamorphic shots unless you have steady hands
5. Encoding 8k is not as easy as i thought.
6. Brugge has some very red/orange lights lol

Doubt that your low light problem comes from the GH 5... I'm posting a quote about optimum F/T stops when shooting anamorphic below

Almost all the problems, the distortions, chromatic abberations, shallow focus, tricky focus-pulling, can be minimized simply by shooting at a decent stop. Anamorphic lenses have what is known as a "curved field of focus" that works similarly to the curved movie screens in some large Cinerama theatres. This is one reason that one needs to expose these lenses at a deeper stop. If one doesn?t, the curved field will not be covered by depth of field and either the edges or centre of the frame will be soft. The other reason is contrast that translates into apparent sharpness. With more contrast, the image appears cleaner and sharper. Anamorphic lenses look best sharpness and contrast wise when stopped at least 2 stops down. T4 or T5.6 are great anamorphic stops. It is not a good idea to expose deeper than a T11 either. Optically, a lens' performance will deteriorate after that.
