how's it going guys it's micah from Laplanet Arts
and finally it's April 23rd 2018 and we finally have some good weather it's
actually like 70 degrees now and feeling like the way spring should today's video
I'm gonna show you a bit of a camera hack to do on your phone as well as your
camera or any camera really anything with the lens this will work on if
you've watched any of JJ Abrams movies you will see the classic lens flare look
whether the light streaks across the lens and they're just beautiful and a
lot of people try to imitate it but they can only be truly achieved with an
anamorphic lens now Anamorphic lenses are extremely expensive but there is a
way to imitate and that way is kind of ridiculously
easy all you need is some tape and a fishing line or in this instance clear
transparent string like a Polish string you can get these in the craft section
for jewelry or anything like this but fishing line works too now the important
thing is make sure it's not too thick this is about as thick as I'd want to go
and that's about point 30 millimeters but you can't experiment with different
looks different thicknesses will make a broader Flair so that there is the
smaller the bursting flavor will be once you got that all you got to do is tape
it across the back of your phone across the lengths make sure it says about in
the middle as you can as much in the middle as you can going across the
lenses mine has two I've got the LG G6 they've got some pretty nice cameras on
them and I got the string going directly across it as you can see there's some
pretty cool effects you can get from them
now that works just as easily on your camera as well you can tape it across
the front of the camera but a lot of the times the camera has a look the camera
lens has a little bit of a lip above it which will raise this string above the
lens of love both above the glass a little bit more changing the way it
looks and might not be as good but you can do if you get a thin enough string
is you can take the lens off of your camera and then tape it to the back of
the lens where it needs the sensor that way won't show up as much on the front
and it'll have a much more hidden look while filming you won't see a distortion
in your lens you want to see a distortion in any of the footage except
for the way the light interacts with it which will be a little bit nicer
you may notice it a tiny bit but it won't be dramatic now if you want to
bump things up you can take your footage and stretch it out and create the black
bars at the bottom you can either do that by changing the aspect ratio to
like 18:9 or something close to around there or you can actually just put black
bars at the top and bottom and that's it that's a pretty easy hack it creates a
really cool effect and if really on a budget and don't have the
money to go and buy one anyway and just want that effect then that will more
than do I am working on making a synthetic effect that you can apply
afterwards so say you don't want to string up your lens or doing a rear
hooky thing like that and just want to make a fake lens in after-effects well I
am working on a tutorial for that in the future so that you can have more
specifically if you want a very exact look to it then
you might be able to do it that way but anyway that's it for today's video and I
hope you enjoyed like comment and subscribe and I will definitely be
putting more videos like this out in the future
alright guys I forgot the route before I give you
