An anamorphic lens turns normal phone video into a 16:9, wide screen movie. It makes video appear smoother and then when you get the right light hitting the lens it creates these yummy flares on your footage. We bring a cinema style of video to your phone.
A classic cinematic look is to put black bars on top and bottom of the video. Without anamorphic lens you have to cut off the footage on the top and bottom of the scene. With anamorphic you don’t have to do that. The lens organically captures that wider 2.40:1 aspect ratio.
Horizontal Anamorphic Flares and Artifacts
True anamorphic lenses have unmistakable horizontal lens elements instead of the spherical elements found in most camera lenses. These cylindrical optics and vintage style coatings create unmistakable oval bokeh, unique light artifacts, and horizontal lens flares found in vintage anamorphics.
Not a filmmaker? The perspective of the Anamorphic Lens makes for unique stills with oval bokeh and a wide field of view that’s perfect for landscapes and portraits.
