She shoots many of her films using an anamorphic lens, which doubles the width of the frame, allowing her to take in an expanse of sea, say, or a herd of cows, without having to pan.
There was this guy there, Ken Jacobson, who was the first guy I ever saw who used an anamorphic projector to project films one frame at a time.
Wise used a 30mm anamorphic, wide-angle lens Panavision camera that was not technically ready for use and caused distortions.
It's not the first phone-footage film (forerunners include Olive, shot on a Nokia N8 in 2011), but it's certainly the best looking, using prototype anamorphic lens adapters to capture gorgeous widescreen vistas while shooting on the fly in the streets, burger bars and doughnut joints of LA.
The vehicle uses an Applanix POSLV420 GPS/INS unit for ground truth positions and was equipped with a roof-mounted Panasonic AG-HPX171 960x720 anamorphic HD camera, facing rearwards and pointing slightly down at an angle of approximately 20°.
However, it appears that, environmental variables other than temperature may have a scaling effect rather than altering the rate of height development, and are therefore better represented by an anamorphic rather than a common-asymptote family of curves.
In summary, it appears that temperature effects on P. radiata height growth may be better approximated by a family of common-asymptote curves, while the effects of other environmental factors such as nutrition and water availability may be better represented by an anamorphic family of curves.
The original intention was for The Argentine to be shot using anamorphic 16 mm film because, according to the director, it needed "a bit of Bruckheimer but scruffier".
While much of the footage was shot at 50 70 mm focal lengths using anamorphic lenses, 14 mm spherical lenses were used for Borg's-eye-view shots.
Independently produced for release through 20th Century Fox, the film was shot in Todd-AO, a widescreen process that used a 65-millimeter negative to yield an extremely sharp image, uncompromised by the anamorphic squeeze of CinemaScope or the three-projector jitter of Cinerama.
