  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Gemini - 2X Anamorphic - Low Light

Amazing story and edit

Hey guys! Here's the latest film I got to DP/Edit for Father's Day. Sometimes, it's hard bringing old footage to life, but I think we found a creative way to bring back the memories that were made many moons ago.

Shot on the amazing RED Gemini in 2x 5K 6"5 Anamorphic mode! Gosh I'm loving this thing. Mainly lit by practicals at only 1600 ISO. This thing is crazy good. HUGE upgrade from Weapon Helium IMO for my needs.

Happy Early Father's Day Dads!

Great work Chris! Quick question, I've just got a 2x Anamorphic lens. When I shoot with Gemini in 5k 6:5 mode 2x mode, what do I set my resolution in FCPX? It says the file res is 3600x3000 but when I set that resolution in FCPX it looks terrible...Any help would be great.

You need to de-squeeze the footage once inside of FCPX. First, you can create a custom timeline with the resolution of 7200x3000 (3600 x 2 - for 2x anamorphic lens). You then, adjust the width of the clips to 200% (2x anamorphic lens) within the timeline. That should properly desqueeze the footage within FCPX. Hope that helps.
 
Chris... I watched it twice in a row, this is really an emotional piece... Of course because of the story but also thanks to the way you shot it and that idea with the projector, edit is beautiful.
More than well done, you can be proud.
