Want to see how it works? The video below is of Mythbuster’s Adam Savage visiting film-maker Peter Jackson in New Zealand in 2016. Then they simply shone a light through it. But how did they add the glow? Simple – they used the camera’s very own red filter (R60) which screws on to the back of the lens. The on-screen HAL 900 – the single “eye” in blazing red – was played by one of Nikon’s most extreme lenses, its 8mm f/8 fisheye.
The HAL 9000 lens in Peter Jackson’s prop store (Pic: Adam Savage’s Tested/YouTube) HAL 9000 needed to be all-seeing – the film’s plot hinges on his ability to detect a conversation between two of the crew. He had to find a visual presence for him aswell.Īs the recent exhibition at London’s Design Museum showed, Kubrick was a gifted stills photographer aswell as a film director. Kubrick cast actor Douglas Rain as the voice of HAL, but the voice was only part of the persona. While in charge of a spacecraft whose secret mission – hidden from its unfortunate crew – is to make contact with a possible alien entity, he starts to malfunction. HAL 9000, the eerily calm computer in Stanley Kubrick’s epic science fiction film ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’, was voted the 13th greatest villain in the American Film Institute’s 100 Years… 100 Heroes & Villains.

It is, without doubt, one of the most quietly chilling villains in movie history. Please no posting of your own bikes.KF article top HAL 9000: so that’s what a red filter does… (Pic: Stanley Kubrick Productions/MGM) The Sexiest AM/FR/Enduro Hardtail Thread (Please read the opening post) any bike welcome as long as its dj or street Transition Patrol, Scout, Sentinel, Spur & Suppressor, Giddy Up & SBG Post your bike and discuss here!ĭirt Jump Bikes. Santa Cruz Heckler vs Bullit for 5’4” gal i never said i was filming the whole thing with a fisheye did i you dickheads so shows what you f*cking no. Thank you lucent for being helpful unlike the last few pricks that have commented this. Most fisheye lenses only work when zoomed out all the way, and will not work if you zoom in. Wide angle lenses are more versatile because they will still allow you to use the zoom. 3X-.4X will give you a true fisheye look, anything higher (.5X+) is considered a 'wide angle' lens. If its a 'basic' MiniDV camcorder, it will probably have a standard back thread size (if you dont know what that is, don't even THINK about trying to fabricate a fisheye lens), which makes it pretty easy to find a cheap low end wide angle or fisheye. Take a cue from the trailer to Stoked on Being Pumped and see how you can still film creatively without using a fisheye. In my opinion, skateboard and bmx movies use WAY too much fisheye. Look on ebay and you'll see that you can pick one up for $40.Ģ. Yes, high end fisheyes can cost upwards of $1K, but those are made for high quality camcorders. Sorry to be such a wet towel, but I think you need a more critical approach to making a video.ġ. If you think a need a fisheye lens to film a bmx 'film', put down the camera for a few years and grow up New videos are getting better, but omg pan fisheye shots are uncreative, lack any kind of talent, and are boring to watch.ģ.
#Diy fisheye lens how to#
BMX camera operators have no real idea of purpose, many of them are just idiots who don't know how to film properly. Its not cool to film with a fisheye all the time, as its entirely pointless. You use a fisheye for extremely tight shots. Still, expect to pay good money for one that isn't absolutely shit.Ģ. A wideangle lens is much cheaper, and far more effective and has less distortion. Fisheye lenses are expensive, they have a 180 degree field of view that YOU CANT REPLICATE WITH A f*ckING CARDBOARD HOLE. So just because it's a bmx 'film' it needs to have a fisheye lens.ġ.
and if you had nothing to say that was going to help me why bother posting any comment at all you prat. it is for a bmx film so thats why i need one.
Shame im not making a mtb movie then really. But, where most lenses are tools for very specific purposes a portrait lens is for shooting portraiture, a tilt-shift lens is for taking architectural shots and so on a fisheye lens’ specific purpose isn’t a genre, but simply creativity. I'm sure you'll be able to make a good mtb video without a fisheye. However, like any other lens, a fisheye is a tool. You cannot make a ghetto fish eye lens, you'll have to buy one.Īnd if you plan to buy the cheapest one available.
