VashiMorphic40 applied to Canon 5DMKii / Nikon 28mm lensġ. I am proud to share with you my free After Effects Plugin Template… VashiMorphic40. It was the ONLY lens used on Roman Polanski’s Chinatown and used 95% of the time on Wes Anderson’s films Rushmore and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. The Anamorphic lens that I chose as the holy grail to emulate is the Panavision Primo 40mm Anamorphic. This workflow has been optimized for cameras that capture 16:9 footage and for lenses between 28mm to 35mm (Full frame equivalent). If you drop your footage into the timeline…you will have access to 3 options that help you achieve the magical look without resorting to additional adaptors or lenses. Getting your hands on Anamorphic lenses is very difficult for the low budget filmmaker… so I created my own After Effects project template that replicates the look and feel of the Anamorphic format.

VashiMorphic40 replicates the lens curvature of a 40mm Anamorphic lensįilms shot in the Anamorphic format include: Jaws, The Royal Tenenbaums, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Pulp Fiction, Die Hard, The Parallax View and countless others.
