Anamorphic

I want to shoot the sci-fi movie in cinemascope.  Using an anamorphic lens.  I've been messing around with an old anamorphic lens.  We probably couldn't shoot a feature with this one.  Maybe?  Probably a rental.  Almost every great sci-fi flick was shot with anamorphic lenses.  Most of my favorite movies are shot using anamorphic lenses.

As I research these lenses I've been watching lots of movies from the 70's and noticing all the distinctive anamorphic lens flares. I really love the look of them.

I shot these the other day with an anamorphic lens on a Canon 7D





As I type this I'm watching Nicolas Roag's "The Man Who Fell To Earth" having just watched his "Walkabout" the other night.
