Epic + Lomo anamorphic?

[Ibrahim Abdulkarim]

Hey, wondering if anyone on the forum has combined these together and if so can you please share any thoughts and/or footage

especially shooting 2:35 or anamorphic on epic or scarlet

thanks in advance

Lomos are quite popular and there should be a lot of footage out there of people using these lenses on RED cameras.

I shot this trailer a few weeks ago on the Epic in 5K - 50 fps with Lomo anamorphics, mostly the 75mm & 100mm:

disregard the grain, that was all done in post, these lenses are not super sharp but have an amazing aesthetic. would love to own a set.

Thanks Dominick but where's the link....lol

Here's a music video we directed, shot on Epic with Lomo Roundfront Anamorphics: https://vimeo.com/63368977

Thanks for sharing Jason. I am interested to know more about what I am seeing. Did you shoot exclusively with the Lomos? I see a few very distinctive flare patterns in the piece and was wondering if you could elucidate a bit.


@ 0:15 Which lens was this? Is it the same as @ 0:54?

@1:25 This is very interesting. The oval flare elements are bisected repeatedly and from differing angles. @ 1:41, 1:59, 2:12, 3:15 etc. Is it a post effect, lens or something in front of the lens? Details, please.

I don't recall the specific focal lengths per shot. we did also use several diopters of differing strengths for the ECU's on the 100mm Roundfront Anamorphic.

The bisected line down the center is an artifact that occurs on these roundfronts and on a lot of anamorphics if the light hits just right.

Allrighty. Thanks.

I was referring to the way the oval shapes are sharply cut sometimes in half. The effect is most evident in the flares from each candle.

The flare @4:02 is distinctive, different from the rest. It is evocative of JJ Abrams' Star Trek Panavision flares. Is yours from the Lomos do you know?

The following videos were all shot on Epic with Lomo Square Front Anamorphics. They are a bit older than the Round Fronts, have distinctive square front elements, are very prone to flares and have a really nice organic softness.

Love the look! Of course I had to watch a few times to examine the cinematography as the subjects kept me distracted the first few times
