Anamorphic Shot blur

Flame Flame Questions

Hey Guys,
I’m working on an anamorphic shot.
My background bluru doesn’t match shots defocus blur
supervisor’s note: anamorphic show which means your bokeh should be an aspect of .5 instead of 1. This means it would be an oval not a circle due to aperture of an anamorphic camera.
How can I solve this in Flame?

You can un-check “proportional” in any of the blur nodes and then set height to 2 and width to 1. Then re-click proportional and now dial in the amount to match the plate.

Yeah, just make the vertical twice the horizontal so you get tall ovals in the defocused areas.

Also I think if your source material is tagged as anamorphic with the right pixel aspect ratio, it will use the correct blur aspect ratio values when changing values.

@andy_dill ’s preset for circular defocus (built in to node) is particularly good.
