My 3rd music video. bmmcc + anamorphic

[obiectivstudio]

hey to everyone,

just wanted to post the latest music video i shot for the song "Ghosts" by Satellites. Local indie band from Cluj, Romania.
Shot entirely with a vintage 50mm Minolta f2 lens and paired with an old anamorphic projector lens. Micro camera was used at 60 fps and conformed to 24 in post.
Edited and colored in resolve, chromakey done in fusion 8.

Constructive criticism welcomed. thanks

This looks KILLER!

I wish that old anamorphic lens you have could be sharper...but don't we all wish that.

Thanks Stewart! yes, it could be sharper, apparently it has a few sweetspots and i'm still trying to find the right way to shoot it. i guess each projector lens has a few downsides (weight being the first one at ~ 2kg)

Wow this looks terrific. What did u use to connect the minolta lens to camera and then the Minolta to the anamorphic lens? Also did you need to desqeeze in DR? thanks thomas

Thanks alot guys! I used a dumb minolta to mft adapter and the anamorphuc lens i mounted on the rails and got it as close as possible to my camera and minolta lens. I didn't fizically connect the two.

Great looking footage! I have to ask though, since you shot anamorphic, why did you deliver in 16:9?
