Hey Friends!
Today we're sharing something a little different than our usual wedding film goodness. We just got back from a fantastic road trip all over Northern California and thought you would enjoy following us on our journey. Come watch below!
This was our first time shooting on anamorphic lenses, which has always been a dream of ours.
Put simply, anamorphic creates a cinematic widescreen look with lots of oval bokeh, unique compression, and strong horizontal flaring. It's the standard format for most blockbuster films and is synonymous with the "Hollywood look."
For years anamorphic was so expensive that only top-tier Hollywood productions could have access, and most filmmakers have had to “fake the look” with filters and crops. It’s so exciting to finally see newer, more affordable versions becoming available to all different levels in the industry like us.
Thanks again to our friend Jacob letting us borrow his lens for our road trip to Northern California. Follow us as we go wine tasting in Napa Valley, explore Redwoods National Park near Crescent City, visit the Oregon/California border, hang out at Battery Point Lighthouse, and run around San Francisco.
