Grabs from M2....hmmm

OK heres some shots with 80mm which is far closer to the focus I am looking for. Tad motion blur on the first - hard to keep a kid still, not talking about her hand.

Nice of you to say but there was no effort put into the cc, just used the FCP 3 way cc and added a couple of standard filters.

Well I have been working like a demon to get this right - I need it to be ready to shoot with it by next week (with a HVX) - but the effort is paying off and Im feeling much more confident of getting my critical focal points.

Honestly, I don't mind it. If your audience is watching your movie and they notice and pick out stuff like that than you have some serious problems with your movie :) Now if they're watching the movie and paying attention to the story and loving the visuals like they're suppose to be, who cares if the bokeh has radial edged blurs :0

Totally agreed Marlon. It's not like I've been watching scenes from your film and going "ack, look at that slight radial blur from the M2"!

It's just when we post stills and get all picky a$$ about things that little comments like mine crop up.

We all know it's the craft of the storyteller in the end, (and you certainly are crafty ;))but most of us here who participate are interested in technical perfection and of course being aware of the good and bad, particularly of this brave new cinematic world of 35mm adapters.
 
Agreed also. I had a pure technical approach to this radial blur thingy. Though I think it's nice to discuss the technical side when people post test grabs.
 
Another thing to mention, you see these radial blurs much more commonly when there is something like foliage in the background - lots of fine edges out of focus. Similar interior shots, or less trees etc and its hard to see it at all.
 
Yeah Hiro, run back through my posts, theres a link from how another guy did it. I basically followed the instructions.

Firstly of course make sure you have the A1 correctly focused on the gg.
 
Well heres another image - and yes I am now quite sure I can get sharp selective focus on any given subject which is great - no more worries and I can actually start using something I spent a fair bit of money on thats been just a space waster since November.

This is a strange pic insofar as its of a rug. But I wanted to try and get focus on the small strands sticking out - seems pretty good to me. Sorry big image (1080) in uncompressed tif format. Next test shot will be text on a lit page.
