anamorphic...and even helicopters

[Guest]

any rules of thumb for shooting anamorphic?

I have a shoot this weekend (out of a commercial helicopter) at night with no time for prep test (producer is crazy)

can anyone drop me some knowledge....

i would sincerely appreciate it.

cheers.

Re: anamorphic...and even helicopters

Don't zoom in all the way -- stay at Z90 or below.

Try to get as deep an f-stop as you can -- turn the ND filters off if you can. If you have the choice of f/2.8 with ND1 in, and f/16 with no ND, go for the F/16.
