0:13 Tito pulls focus with his mind.
I saw some great looking shots in "Evil Dead Rise" yesterday, and I wanted to know how they did it! I'm pretty sure they used something like this! It's amazing
"Blow out" from BDP! what a superb one!
He used it quite a lot. It became his signature shot, but it was used long before him.
What the heck, I ordered on yesterday and this pops up on my feed today 😊
I found a few inexpensive ones online some time ago, but I like the ability of these to move the split off the center point.
There was a split diopter shot Toy Story 4 which was super effective and cool to see in CG
which one?
Oh man! Idea overload!!! Great episode
Great technical and creative use of these optics.
There is also the option of tilt/swing lenses. It's usually a feature of photography lenses in large format view cameras or special Tilt/Shift lenses meant for architecture photography or macro setups with bellows etc. It allows you to have an apparently tilted focus plane.
You can even get tilt adapters when you have extra image circle to use.
There is even a set of Cine lenses by Schneider Kreuznach that allows for some tilt/swing and they seem affordable used - so might not be great.
As for using these kind of tricks with anamorphic lenses or adapters? i have no idea as I have never seen it.
There’s fantastic use of this in All The Presidents Men.
That's just awesome
Another great video. This makes me think, I have access to a wet saw. I wonder if I could just cut a cheap +1 diopter in half? Although Cine Packs are reasonably priced although I don't see where they state the sizes. Would they cover the FVD16B and the FVD35A? Thanks again for the anamorphic content, Cheers
It’s 79mm. It covers the fvd16b. That’s what I use it for.
Hello! doeas this works with classic lenses too? Does the split lens have a magnifier? how do you create that amazing double focus with a single focus lens? thanks
Works for any lens!!
Jaws has 3 or 4 split field shots.
I recently purchased one before someone showed me a cool effect it gave for photography (not cinematography). Is it uncommon to use with still photo? Do you recommend any videos on techniques to watch? Thank you!
It's not uncommon, although what you're probably looking for is not exactly what this video is describing! I'm not sure any videos go super in detail about what you can achieve, but some give good ideas! Cinepacks' website has some process and results in there! cinepacks.store/products/cinepacks-split-filter
Just wondering, why not close the aperture and increase the lighting instead?
Sometimes you can't do one, sometimes you can't do the other, and, sometimes you still want shallow DOF on both sides!
Got my sub. Great presentation

My notebook has a collection of concepts for split field and slit field diopter use in specific compositions. When you have a concept, jot it down!
I wouldn't say "unnatural". Since in real life we have freedom to choose what to focus on. And like, unfortunately we still haven't achieved a vibrating lens set that oscillates it's focus from nearest to infinite a couple thousands times per second under milions of frames per second, the only thing to achieve this, used to be computer graphics. Well, at least before game makers start flirting with cinema, and destroying the image with motion blur generated by radial and gaussian filter instead of by high frame rate and faking object defocusing. What, in computational world, really IS unnatural!
This are some of the things you don’t need.
I actually am going to need this specifically for a scene in a short I'm shooting in september.
