X2 Anamorphic Widescreen 16mm Landscape Tests (2.66:1)

Uploaded by: gyedc
Video Description:
Commissioned UK T.V. 'landscape' (un-graded & un-edited) Test rushes/dailies using a x2 ISHICO Anamorphic lens custom rigged / mounted to a 'standard 16mm' (1.33:1) format camera (Beaulieu R16 - see first image for set-up), resulting in a 2.66:1 widescreen image (shown here digitally un-squeezed). Film stock used was Fuji 400T (8682) 16mm colour negative film(now discontinued), ASA rating at 400 & normal film process (ECN-2). Filmed around London in 2005. All footage shot 25FPS (TK 25FPS) & Single light/pass via a Rank Cintel Mk III to DigiBeta tape. Footage was de-squeezed using Adobe Premiere Pro.
*Note some of the distorted verticals which is due to the anamorphic lens not being rotated correctly...opps!
*The dark vingetting seen in the corners of the final 2/3 shots is due to using a prime lens that is too wide for the actual x2 anamorphic's rear element coverage (in this case a 25mm f0.95 Angeniuex prime was used to establish max shooting angle).
These tests are a similar set-up to Gaspar Noe's 'I Stand Alone' (1998) and Carlos Reygadas' 'Japon' (2002) movies, both of which used a x2 Anamorphic lens adapter in front of standard 16mm camera (Arriflex) for a final 2.66:1 frame composition. Both those films are worth seeking out for anyone with further interest in this format / ratio.
*Again the friendly YouTube video codec has caused some funny compression issues with some of the image - sorry folks!
