Hasta La Motion!

Hi all,
I admit, i spend most of my time on a pc and NOT behind a camera so forgive me for this question:

When a camera’s lens is replaced with a 28mm, 50mm, or 85mm, can you "zoom’ with them?

For example, what’s the difference if you use a 50mm lens and then zoom all the way in to make it a 100 mm ??

Look at video TIP # 3

Why 28mm, 50, 100, etc when zoom & move could to it?

My submission for Film Fights current contest. Contest is 3:30, you have to show a time of 3:30 in the film.
my first attempt at some sort of action paced film with after effects as well.

take a look at it and tell me what you guys think.

Dear Friends of 3DE!

It turned out that our new lens distortion models, recently introduced with 3DE4 r1b10, are much more powerful than our "vintage" classic one.

To make them even more powerful, in terms of integration into production pipelines, our friends at Weta Digital developed a Nuke node infrastructure which is based on our lens distortion SDK (LDPK).

The cool thing is, they released their work as open source:

Nuke nodes for 3D Equalizer lens distortion plugin kit

In addition, there is a 3DE4 Python script which allows to create a Nuke 3DE distortion node (.nk), compatible to the currently selected camera (incl. dynamic lens distortion):

Export Nuke Distortion Nodes v1.2

Many thanks to Peter Hillman, Wolfgang Niedermeier and Lee Bramwell!

Cheers,

Rolf
