Another splendid instalment, Ollie. 🤗 Out of curiosity, how do you create the blue lines - is it some type of bloom or halation effect within your editing software?
Thanks! The blue flares are thanks to anamorphic lenses. Some people don't like the flares because of how unnatural they can be for certain environments and how they can appear when they're not desired, but I lean more towards liking them than not. I actually don't know the reason as to why streaks happen with these lenses, but it is part of what makes them particularly cinematic - light streaks, wider aspect ratios (meaning wider field of view), and the tendency to have more oval bokehs. I think there's a few more differences that make the images different from standard type lenses. These lenses are probably not as useful for a lot of standard work, but for film-like experiments, they are a lot of fun.
@@OllieOdyssey325 Thank you for the detailed response and explanation of anamorphic lenses. I like the flares. They’re adding to the storytelling in this series. 💙
@@SamanthaEarle If you're ever curious, you can research the different offerings where some have less pronounced flares and even different colors! Blues tend to give a modern/sci-fi feel, while something like orange can work well with a lot of natural light.
Your vids have really tempted me to get an anamorphic of my own! 🤣 This was great as always!🔥
