this is the first YouTube video I cut fully in resolve...

I see a lot of pincushion distortion and inaccurate aspect ratios with footage shot on anamorphic lenses these days. if you do the things I mention in this video you may notice an improvement to elusive cinematic look we all chase. also, wise to put the proper frame line on your camera monitor. hit me up with any questions and join the discord: discord.gg/yfEhQbuR5r

also rotating anamorphic lenses sideways on the camera is kind of cool. try it!

footage in this video was shot on the arri alexa mini LF in open gate, with the great joy 50mm 1.8x anamorphic lens. edited and color graded in davinci resolve
