If you shot 1.33x on the Atomos you would get an almost perfect 6144x2614 which is 6k Anamorphic 2.35:1 format. Or crop in a little more for true 2.39:1 Scope.

      I just came from MFT anamorphics to APSC on my S1 and whay noticed when i compared them. The APSC has a wider shot but they both have the same minimum focus distance, the MFT crops in but somehow it has more bokeh. So you get less FOV with MFT but more bokeh, and that's only with these Sirui lenses. with a spherical lens we can get closer while using a APSC camera so then the APSC would get better bokeh.
      I was blown away by this, it's really about knowing your tools.

    The original S5 while it does not have open gate and it ofc lacks ALL-I it does have the same anamorphic desqueeze options, the same 4:3 S35 anamorphic mode and the same anamorphic ibis options plus it's below $1000. Pretty insane for the price and especially as the S5's internal image processing pipeline is better than the S5II/X which has the new processing which adds much much more noise reduction and artificial sharpening. ProRes RAW however looks identical between the original and the newer while BRAW is better on the newer models.

I know its not “real” open gate in my camera supposedly, but I get all the same options including 4:3 so I’m not sure what the difference is with that, but i know it always looks awesomely unique and gives me so much more room vertically. Same options to de squeeze anything, ibis, etc. Amazing. I’m shooting a film now using 2 lenses. Sirui 35mm f1.8 and 75mm f1.8, both 1.33 and APSC. The character is the bomb… Great video as always.

    • @LiamMarskog
      @LiamMarskog 3 місяці тому +3

      The difference is the S5II and S5IIX has 6K 3:2 open gate in full frame while the S5 only does DCI 4K 16x9 in full frame so you lose a lot of coverage. For example in cinemascope with a 2x anamorphic lens you would lose about 68% in 16x9 compared to 3:2 open gate so there's a big difference. Basically you lose a lot of the top and bottom of your image like Cam showed in the video but that's only an issue for anamorphic glass that covers full frame, if it does not cover full frame the result will be the same as the S5, S5II and the S5IIX all have the same 4:3 S35 anamorphic mode.

    9:22 is my biggest gripe with switching to the black magic full frame 6k. Yes it has all the desqueeze but to get 1.5 you have to shoot at 6k full frame and no other stretch will be avaliable at that resolution but I found I LOVE shooting at 4k super 35 4:3 on the camera with the blazar Remus because the texture shooting at that resolution feels the most like film. BUTTTTT the only option you are given in camera in super 35 mode is 1.8. So Im looking at a funky image in the monitor and have to go into the fusion tab in resolve to fix the desqueeze.
    (Wich is a easy fix. Add a Resize node. Click "Change pixel aspect" and change 1.8 to 1.5 and VIOLA!)
    I am really HOPEING when the pyxis comes out the 6k full frame will get a firm ware update that lets us pick any stretch factor at any resolution.

    10:05, welp where is that pesky 1.6 desqueeze then? ; ) Great video as usual! Lumix needs that 1.6
    (I am being a picky asshat)
    We have so much nowadays, and i love my Lumix s5iix... I'm just hesitant on WHICH anamorphic to buy.
    In fine arts I dabbled with video, and now really want to make short films. That anamorphic look .. oh bb.
    Blazar is tempting me a little more than Sirui rn...

    Amazing!
    So if you have a f.e. R5C and want to shoot 2x anamorphic then it is better to use s35 lenses on fullframe mode because you will mostly cut the vignette (instead of cutting valuable lens characteristic content).
    I think this is another great topic for a yt video. Because we barely have cam body w/ opengate, also literally we have no camera body w/ 60fps no crop opengate.
    So s35 lens on 16:9 fullframe is a great alternative.
    I think this topic should be covered more deeply, and I am pretty sure no one covered this in youtube🎉

    I have an S9 but I feel "afraid" of shooting anamorphic...even though I possess the knowledge to pull it off and the experience. I'm 35 years old, I'm getting tired of not giving it a try because of limiting mentality....so I would love to know if a cheap-to-decent anamorphic lens exists? One that I could buy just to play and not feel guilty at the purchase price? Ty

    I'm thinking of getting the S5IIx, when using 6k open gate, you are limited to 420, has that ever been an issue for you, Cam? I would really prefer 422, but maybe it's not actually a big deal? My other question is, you have to shoot internally right to get 6k Open Gate, what codecs are available, I was curious about shooting BRaw, but you are limited to 4k?

    • @cammackey
      @cammackey  3 місяці тому +2

      Majority of my videos for the past 6 months have been shot on 3:2 4:2:0 ;) So you tell me!
      I don’t think most people are actually doing technical enough color grading to really see the difference between 4:2:0 and 4:2:2. There’s def a difference if you’re someone who does super technical grading. And I think open gate is only available internally

    The S1H does the same since 2020 and has an OLPF. But I‘m using 5.4K on it which is almost Fullframe Open Gate (3:2). It helps reducing vignette on certain anamorphics. I just wish this mode would work for 50/60p too and the rolling shutter would be a bit less, so I could turn off stabilization more often. Sometimes you want the shakes.
    Love your grade & lighting!

    I honestly regret buying my blackmagic 6k full frame and not an s5iix. Blackmagic immediately dropping the price after buying it has really made me loose faith in the brand and the lack of de-squeeze options in a camera that's marketed as something good for anamorphic is depressing. Such a simple thing to add in firmware but nope -_-

    I still think a used S1H is better with its stellar OLPF, especially considering none of the anamorphics use the big new feature of the S5IIX: Autofocus. The S1H still has full VLog and all the Open Gate goodness.
