Anamorphic Raw Footage

A Deeper Dive for Wedding Couples

Anamorphic Lenses: a cinematic touch & a pain in the butt.

Anamorphic lenses create a distinctive, widescreen look often associated with cinematic productions. These lenses compress the image horizontally, resulting in a distorted view of the footage. Skilled editors and colorists process or “de-squeeze” this in post-production.

For professionals, using anamorphic lenses has significant benefits, but they require much more nurturing in the editing suite.

Log footage is a color profile used by cameras to capture a wider range of tones, preserving details in both highlights and shadows. This is especially important in wedding videography, where scenes often feature bright sunlight and darker interiors.  

Is Raw Footage Right for You? (probably not)
