Glad you enjoyed the video! As far as I know, the only way to de-squeeze an anamorphic image on the 535B is to use Arri's official anamorphic viewfinder. It looks almost identical to the viewfinder in the video, but it has a large black dial at the top that allows you to switch between de-squeeze and standard image modes. These are relatively rare though, so if you need one for a project make sure you get it with whatever camera package you are using. I've tried for years to track one down and have had no success.

@@JakeScumaci Thanks for the info! One more question - for the video assist- is it as easy as plugging the SDI out to a SmallHD? Thus enabling anamorphic desqueeze on an onboard monitor perhaps...

@@roberttorres6693 Unfortunately its bit more more complicated than that. If you want to use a newer monitor with the 535B tap (the one in the video) you will most likely need an analog to digital converter acting as a "middle man". This would then allow you to use your monitor to de-squeeze the image. There are a lot of different taps out there though, so depending on your model you may not need said converter.

Glad you enjoyed the video! We've had a few people ask about the tap so we might just have to make a video about it.

Yes please

I agree. It's a great camera system and I love the coaxial magazines and viewfinder. You just need a beefy tripod.

Glad you liked it! I have access to a few more cameras so hopefully we can eventually get some more videos out.

I'm glad the video was helpful! Arri makes/made great cameras, but finding any information other than the manual can be tricky sometimes. I was fortunate enough to have a retired AC go through the camera with me years ago, but we realized not everyone gets that chance so we decided to make the video. Thanks for watching!

Hi! Thanks for watching. The glow masks are so you can change the aspect ratio on the Arriglow function. Arriglow itself is a neat feature that puts up lit red bars in the viewfinder so you can see your frame lines in dark or dim environments (which is very useful for when you cant see the ground glass well). By changing the glow mask you change the aspect ratio of the red bars in the viewfinder. As for the right shutter speed, typically at 24fps you would leave the shutter at 180 degrees. And those block batteries should work fine. The 535b runs with 24-30Vdc @10A (minimum 7A). As long as you fall within those specifications you should be more than good! I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have anymore questions.

Great. I get it.. it's mean glow mask is only a preview aspect ratio in viewfinder.. example 1.85 or 1.77 and 2.35 aspects ratio... that's mean no change film area or like that..?

That's right. It doesn't change the film area. It's just meant to help show your frame lines so you can keep your desired aspect ratio.

Yeah, digital certainly does make things a lot easier. This video would not have been financially possible if we had to shoot it on, say, 16mm film instead of digitally. That being said, I do rather enjoy the workflow and look of film and prefer to use it on narrative projects where feasible. I'm just thankful both formats are still an option.

You will never get so much character like a film camera. It's worth to do more work. So you have more appreciation to what you're filming. Digital cameras have killed the spirit of filming.

​@@evildead3586You'll get over it.

Don't get to obsessed with digital because there's evil behind it.

Thanks for all your help, Kyle! It was fun. Sorry it took 1.5 years, lol.
