Music vid shot w/ anamorphic adapter/ Kowa inflight 35 1.5 t2i-5D

[dustwaterwindfire]

I shot this with my inflight kowa 35 1.5x. i think it turned out good. most of it was on the t2i and a small portion of the shots are just cropped 5d. I was really impressed by the way this lens handled barrel distortion compared to 8z I have... the difference between the two in that area is astounding. I plan on using this setup quite often as it was fairly easy to use. check it out.... http://vimeo.com/16335289 password is ceramicindian

Very nicely shot. Is the Kowa a projection lens?

That's gorgeous... and even though all the images are beautiful it would get stagnant after a couple minutes if not for the guys performance, very cool. Love that turquoise sky when the guy has the axe on his shoulder. It's like post modern country scat schizo rap...

so heres my setup. 5d or T2I (5D in pics) on the back for focus is the varivon angle viewfinder. Taking lens is a zeiss pentacon six 80mm 2.8 -screw on adapter (bought from vidlantic) then the kowa inflight 35 1.5X. on the front of that is a machined part (made by a friend) to use for diopter. theres a .5 diopter in the pic. then cheap mattebox with Schneider 4x4 ND inside. thats about it. For my t2i i use the same setup minus the varivon and substitute a nikon 50 1.4 for taking lens.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on the turquoise sky. I think it should be brought more back to blue just becuase of how much nature is around.

Towards the end (the non night shots) your contrast gets really hard on the subject. Not sure if that is intentional but it looks way different.

Wonderful work, even if you don't make any color changes.

Wow - got the old lump in the throat going there.
Very beautiful on a whole bunch of different levels!

thanks for the feedback and compliments.

The performance is stunning.
This coupled with the anamorphic look, flares and color grading made a very strong result.
Different, unique.
