This is a guest post by Tito Ferradans, a filmmaker from Brazil who’s based in Vancouver. He is a tech guy, passionate for sci-fi narratives and he runs a Youtube channel about anamorphic lenses. This time, Tito wrote for us about how to “anamorfake” the fairly affordable Rokinon/Samyang 35mm T1.5 Cine Lens. So you want to achieve the anamorphic look or make your footage more “cinematic”, but you’re not ready or you don’t have enough time to figure out anamorphic adapters. You also don’t have enough money for cine anamorphics (who has it?). Lucky for you, I spent the last three years breaking down what makes the anamorphic look into components that can be created separately without any anamorphic glass. That’s my Anamorfake It Until You Make It! guide. More about it later! If you wanna rush in make sure to use the code C5D for 10% off at checkout! In this tutorial, we’ll be modifying the popular Rokinon 35mm T1.5 Cine version. This 35mm is a very versatile lens. It has great minimum focus and features a fast aperture which boosts bokeh for the smart shooter. 35mm is a mandatory focal length in any set, acting like a normal lens on S35 cameras and a mild wide-angle on full-frame. The one I’m using is in EF mount as it’s the most versatile budget mount on the market. In the following steps, we’ll open up the lens, take out some elements and add an oval insert to the aperture mechanism....
