@StudioBinder made a video about "What is Anamorphic vs Spherical" a week ago. It was full of issues, and here's a correction to all of it! I am in touch with StudioBinder to address the issues in their video (copyright and content) and make everything right.
GEAR I USE
Panasonic S5: bhpho.to/2ERKjt4
Panasonic GH5: bhpho.to/3dSXCWi
Metabones EF to MFT Speed Booster 0.71x: bhpho.to/2Z5NqFI
Contax Zeiss Lenses: bit.ly/contaxZ...
Russian Taking Lenses: bit.ly/ussrLenses
UPDATE: I'm talking to StudioBinder about correcting their video and making sure their future content doesn't repeat past mistakes regarding copyright and fair use - or anamorphics, for that matter. I want to believe people can be better so I'm giving this a shot. :)
Cool, they have a great channel and it would be great to see you guys work together vs. getting your stuff stolen and some whack explanations
They did apologize later and put in the links. I'm glad you guys are sorting the issues out
Just a little imput. The scene from the motorcycles are from john wick 3, not 2. For the next, im not 100% sure of this, since i just heard it. But as i know, they used anamorphic lenses on that scene and even intensified the flares with a schneider true-streak filter.
Still, amazing content, thanks for the knowledge and keep doing what you do, really enjoy your content 🔥
Thank you for the correction. John Wick 2 and 3 were both shot with Master Anamorphics, and used ARRI's streak attachment to boost flares (Master Anamorphics don't flares at all).
@@AnamorphicChannel ah alright, im sorry about that, now i understand what you ment right there :). Thanks for clarifying! Much love
Im a big studio binder fan but i was shocked to learn all of this. Needless to say im a new subscriber now lol
i am studioBinder follower and i watched the entire video thanks to them i managed to see your channel and subscribed
This was constraint streaming diarrhea of information, I loved every second of it. Great job dude! Can I put you on speed dial for any of my next anamorphic endeavors?! Lol.
Hahaha! Thank you! I look forward to that! I've watched a lot of your stuff! Send me an email! ;)
"That's a flare. Not bokeh." Should be said in Terminator voice.
What a missed chance!
They used your clips but the RUclips algorithm has your back and sent me to you after stumbling across the Studio Binder video on a journey down a rabbit hole. Maybe there is some good in the world after all? I had trouble following the Studio Binder video, now I know why. Great response video.
Saw this studiobinder video yesterday and yours was recommended today. RUclips algorithm trying to make the world a better place 😂. Thanks for correcting all this!!
When I saw Studiobinder's video..I immediately knew something was off.. glad you called it out! Cheers mate.
First time I saw this old video. totally supporting your POV Tito!
Thanks for your great clarification. Indeed, there's so much poorly researched stuff here, and people believe it w/o checking for a second source. your channel is so valuable for the anamorphic community. Love it.
Hi. First, great video, so clear and concise. Second, I watched the StudioBinder video earlier today and had issues with it as well and though I have experience with lenses from years with film photography I recently started reading up on anamorphic lenses. But I had to rewind theirs on the ratios/squeeze factor, more / less glass etc parts. Anyway, thanks for your video plus I was stunned that they stole your stuff. Yeah, even in this day and age.
wonderful information......... thx to do this job.
I m blessed find this video... ❤️
Excellent vid. Studiobinder is listening for the sirens right now.
I loved this video. I could tell you were brimming on a heart attack. You love your craft and it shows. Thank you for this content!
Thank youtube recommendation to make me susbcribed to this channel, knowledge first, i saw the video and in some part i had the same questions about what they said.
Thank you. I was impressed with the StudioBinder video but very uncomfortable with the inaccuracies. I understand where they were coming from, and sometimes generalization is better than the, "...we'll be doing another video about that." However, nice to get the straight line from someone else who knows.
I noticed some of Caleb Pike's work in their video too now that I think about it
This guy seems like the type of person that reminds the teacher that they haven't assigned any homework just before the start of a 3-day weekend.
Oh, that was definitely not me as a kid - even though I liked homework... As a teacher, when my students ask if I'm forgetting homework I always tell them to chill out. :P
BUT, I can totally see why you'd get that vibe. hahahaha
amazing video
Thank you!
Well explained
Oh boy! I love a good ol Fashon factual beatdown.
Your knowledge is unparalleled and your channel is impeccable. Keep up the great work!
Great video
Excellent
loved every second of this ... this is the correct info
Beautifully researched, explained and illustrated. Go get 'em!
Ahh! Thank you for this video! Both their RUclips channel and their software seem to often miss the mark. It was nice to see you highlight it.
There is nothing that upsets me more on a RUclips, than "experts" spreading misinformation. So glad you were able to take their misleading video off RUclips. Great job!
GF: Tito, I did the dishes yesterday... it’s YOUR turn! 🤗

Why do ppl rush it to post videos? Don't they go thru some validation process - editorial? I believed StudioBinder's tutorial but now realized you can't just trust them. Thanks for the clarification. (I knew lots of their clips weren't theirs but from the web, but adding a little credit in the corner somewhere is the only right thing to do).
I have a question, why doesn't this have more views? Seriously. I am so happy I found this channel.
Thank you! I wonder about this every day. :(
When i discover this channel i learn alot about anamorphic lens❤️
For now for cheap one i will buy a mobile phone anamorphic lens because my phone is my main csmera.
I'm only half way through and already laughed out loud two times all by myself like an idiot
This is the kind of comment that makes my day!
thank you!
Schooling a big studio from the comfort of your room. Here is a sub
Big Knowledge! Yesssss
Duuuude GREAT Content and tone!!!! you should be "softer and "rougher" with everyone who misinform our kids!!! HEHEHE. Knowledge is very miss valued these days!!! Cheers from Brasil!
We love you channel Tito! Let's collaborate on something. Not sure what, but still. I am located in Los Angeles, so if you want to take a trip some day and create an ultimate anamorphic test, I'll be able to set up a local rental house to help with everything! Much love!💛
The best! Love The explanation
Nice work clapping back Tito, I'm actually surprised the video was taken down relatively quickly haha. It really bugged me that there was a lot of good production value in their video with the graphics, editing, and VO, but that they made so many 'generalizations' and relatively untrue statements (and I'm not even an anamorphic specialist). And of course the amount of footage they pulled from other content creators without credit was genuinely alarming. They seem a good company overall and I'm not sure who's managing their YT content; but this seemed like an obvious case of them taking advantage of the fact that most of the clips they were yoinking were from smaller creators, so that they could just get away with it. Here's to all the supporters who made noise in that comment section 🙌
Hopefully these misconception response videos won't be a regular thing, but after this, I wouldn't be surprised!
This remembers me in school trying to be smarter than my teacher😄
Wow. Thank you so much for this! Valuable information here. I'll be going through all your videos for more. 👌👍
Nice video. Thx
Wow. I'd never heard of Studio Binder until now. I just subscribed to their channel. They have some good content.
Their film theory stuff is pretty decent. The technical, not so much!
@@AnamorphicChannel Fun fact. Studiobinder has 17 videos with more views than your most viewed video. LOL.
@@foothillfilms6179 because views are WAY more important than accuracy...
/s
@@paulhilbink3844 I wonder if creating accurate, informative, creative and fun content gets more views than dissecting and bashing someone else's content? Hmmm???
@@foothillfilms6179 accurate? informative? like using someone else's footage without their permission, and not knowing the difference between ratios and decimals when talking about squeeze factors? you sir, have a different definition of 'accurate' and 'informative' than I do...
Man, I just did a chat about the Sirui lens set on my own channel last week, and am now glad I told people to check out this channel, cause this video definitely corrects one or two things I said myself. YIKES! Thanks for always setting us straight!!
“Then your trying on my nerves”🤣😂 Great video..
I've been watching tons of videos and I think you're the guy to ask: What would be the widest, best anamorphic apsc lense for the Sony FX30, around 1500 UAD? The only lens I currently own is the Sony 11mm photo lens, but I love the cinema, flarey look. Thank you in advance, brother
Probably Sirui's widest full frame offering at the moment! 35mm 1.6x squeeze! :D
@Anamorphic on a Budget Thank you. I didn't know if that one was gonna be wider than the apsc 24mm 1.33, but I'd rather ask pros. Awesome channel, brother. 🤜🤛
Still trying to figure out,.. is there an anamorphic lens for my Nikon D5500??😶
It seems the only Nikon addressed is the Nikon Z. 🤔
Figured,.. if "anyone" knows,.. it has to be you! Please. A little help for this old man?
What are your thoughts on mediadevision video tho?
I really like StudioBinder, but I love this more. Keep debunking.
7:57 I am really interested in focus falloff (pretty sure it's called something different(:) Some lenses are so sharp that the subject feel like it is being placed on top of a background and others have a "smooth" falloff. What is that characteristic called? Sorry i'm still pretty new to this
That is focus falloff! Hahaha! :D
@ thank you!:D
I‘m binge watching your videos at the moment. What an interesting topic.
Totally get your fascination
Good luck
You did a great job explaining anamorphic as always.
For this video, what camera and lens(s) did you use?
Thank you! We used the Sirui lenses (35 and 50mm) on S Series Panasonic cameras (S1H and S5). :D
Did you use some kind of a mist filter on your center camera?
No, not on this one. :)
I’m glad you did this and studiobinder has a duty of care to make sure their content is on point, as they sell their product as a filmmaker and writing tool. I’m sure there was no malice intended but it’s good to know you’re working with them to keep the information highway flowing with “clean” knowledge.
Watching this video was like having a magic trick explained. While it may be factual, it was also difficult to follow.
I have two anamorphic lenses for two different iPhones. Both are 1.33x but that's where the similarities end. Am more interested in how to shoot wide screen than to understand the physics of the lens.
I really appreciate this feedback. I get carried away into technical stuff.
Love this, thank you for putting this out, it is authentic, educational and insightful.
This is super great domain knowledge channel of anamorphic lenses. And yeah, that's a flare, not bokeh. You are the "master Ana-morphic", said that like in Start Wars.
Funny.. this was one of the 1st anamorphic videos I watched. .. so in definition, Oxford says anamorphic - "denoting or relating to a distorted projection or drawing that appears normal when viewed from a particular point".. so I found your comments on distortion different.. is an anamorphic lens technically distorted until the image is desqueezed? Or is that not what they meant in their vid?
Just came from the reposted/corrected Studiobinder vid. Fascinating to see the changes made, which I assume were directly informed by your correspondence and/or this video.
Yep, yep yep yep! hahahaah :)
Very informative but you obviously have no idea how fair use works. Their work was transformative and not an alternative for your video. You can’t just claim an entire video because you’re mad that they didn’t give you credit for the couple shots they used.
RUclips would beg to differ as they accepted the copyright claim and took the video down. The most recent video they have on the subject is result of a collaboration between us, where we ironed out all the bad concepts they had in the first video. They were using a lot of my material as just "illustration" to their own (erroneous) concepts. Is that fair use?
@@AnamorphicChannel RUclips is not an arbitrator nor will they litigate or mediate on your behalf. That is what court is for. Refer to Ethan Klein's first fair use suit and tell me how your situation differs. RUclips is starting to not entertain copyright claims unless you prove that this is being taken to court within 10 days. I feel your frustration but I'm just saying it would go nowhere in the legal system. It's a good thing that StudioBinder was cooperative and understanding. Legally, they didn't have to do anything.
I love studio binder but this was Great😅 Wow
Can you please make a video about the rathenower rectimascop 80/2x anamorphic lens? Since they arw still really cheap I bought mine for 75 euro's ($89) there isn't alot of information about it.
brilliant video man, you point out the misconceptions and misconstrued features from their video really well.
Are you sure Studiobinder isn't right about all this? I mean, they DO have a British sounding guy doing the voice over, which automatically makes everything sound a bit more believable.
There’s a study that show that people respond to the British accent and deemed it as more intelligent and authoritative!! 🧐That’s why it’s used in many commercials and movies in countries that are non-British accents. The wonders of colonialism!!! 😒
@kerrsteel 🤔 I should have said English, British applies the UK. I do prefer hearing the Scottish accent, even though it’s hard for me to follow!!
@kerrsteel 😬 Exactly!!! Had to look it up on Google!!
I came here after watching their video
Anamorphic Yoda - The force is with him - 👍 🎬 - Thank you for being an excellent resource on anamorphic lenses. (Insert blue flare going through this comment)
I love how you are THE best, most knowledgeable resource about all this and know your stuff so well you can school others who are misinformed that are spreading incorrect info.
I’ve been watching your video presentations for a while now. In short, I think you provide excellent narration and presentation and overall, an excellent delivery. And of course, you are most certainly knowledgeable of the subject matter. As such, I have liked and subscribed!😊
I had a lot of respect for Studio Binder until I watch your video 😩. It's like discovering that your doctor has fake diploma.
😂
Sheeeesh... this guy kicked StudioBinder team's ass
LEGEND...go TITO
I learned alot here than studio binder
Perfect. 😉🙏
Hi Tito, again, I see such a great an professional behavior from you. Really impressive how you sort out potential conflicts, trying to turn those into something better than before!
Hi! New subscriber!
I have tried to find videos of someone actually focusing a nanamophic lens but I can't seem to find one...., strange. This would be a logical step for me. I recently bought a 35 NAP 80-110mm (waiting for it to arrive in the mail). I am willing to accept the limitations of this lens but I wonder why nobody has a video, one shot of the focusing and one of the image being captured.
Another point: don't some camera bodies compensate for native lenses for distortion, focus falloff, etc?
Look this one up:ruclips.net/video/yneSk9wdJWw/видео.html
As for camera compensation, that only works for native spherical lenses. I haven't used one of those in years.
@@AnamorphicChannel Holy Mackeral! That was fast!!!!! Thanks . The main thing that i found confusing was that I'd see people just screwing the adapter onto the taking lens and then they would show their videos...., I would then look at my nikon 50mm 1.8 and Helios 44 and see how much the focus ring moved the front of the lens. I can clearly see in your video that there is a gap between the adapter and the taking lens. Many thanks from Toronto, Canada!
Hehe! Canadian too! Glad to help! Shoutout from Vancouver!
That is bokeh, it refers to blurred part of the image while lens flare is light that spreads across image in strokes
did they fix it?
Yes, the version that is currently online has addressed all these notes.
love how much you are setting straight in a composed manner. way to go, Tito!
eu todo feliz com o video do studiobinder até comentei lá, e alguém me recomendou esse canal pra estudar sobre lentes anamórficas, agora entendi quem que manja realmente, haha. muito bom ter as informações corretas, keep up the good work bro!
Po, eu ia mostrar o video do studiobinder pra minha namorada pra ela entender mais sobre, acabou que nem eu tinha entendido (ou melhor, entendi de acordo com informações erradas rs).
So with that said........did you ask to use the Blade Runner footage in your video?
I did! And Mr Scott was kind enough to say "yeah, go ahead and correct those terrible mistakes!". I couldn't believe when I got the email.
Thank you Tito! I enjoyed it a lot - so hilarious and educational at the same time:)
Might as well soon enough patent the use of the word « anamorphic » on RUclips, will be faster than shooting at anyone trying to do a video on that subject… This video could be interesting, but this is too condescending to be pleasant to watch really.
Speaking on the flares: I actually prefer a more controlled flare, at least for narrative or commercial work. I never want the lens style to overwhelm the art, lighting or performances. Music videos are a different story, but for most work I prefer muted flares. That’s why my custom anamorphics use Isco Ultra Star Reds
PREACH!!! 🤘😎
Is that English voice synthetic voice (binder)?
Good question. I think it's a real person, but I don't know!
@@AnamorphicChannel I never knew the miniatures in Blade Runner were 65 Spherical. Thanks for that. ;)
No that’ll be a real voice over artist. I’ve come across several RUclips channels (not film related) that use voice over artists who aren’t connected to the subject. It’s staple work for them.
😳😳 this guy has some serious affection with anamorphic 🤭
No. Prob. Good to us ✌️
Great job❤️
I do!
Best resource for anamorphics in the industry!!! I believe you have your Masters or PhD in the field!! Am I correct??
Nobody:
Studiobinder: *2 : 0 s q u e e z e f a c t o r*
Well that sucks: here I am, watching the StudioBinder vid, thinking "Wow! I actually understand anamorphic lenses! Finally!" only to find out it was complete crap lmao. Thanks for the corrections!
Damn son, straight punked Studio Binder…
Great info! We learn better from seeing mistakes. Cheers...
I feel smarter now
Thank you for addressing this topic swiftly and professionally!
You tell them Tito! Lol class act bro. Awesome and informative video as always.
Thanks so much for a TRUE explanation of anamorphic! Fantastic video as always.
When you brag about a copyright strike against someone (right or wrong) it takes away from your trust.
This channel flares with a certain quality of knowledge!
If less glass will be better, then monocle lens should be a perfect lens :D
I think softer and tougher are good words to describe the softness caused by astigmatism. I’d say you could call that soft and rough at the same time.
They never said that more glass is worse
Thank you for enlighting us about anamorphic, Tito. If everyone had your competence and professionalism before taking the chair and talking bullshit, the world would be a better place.
