producing various optically distorted images
of or relating to the gradual evolution of different types of organism
Unequally scaled in vertical and horizontal dimensions
In the motion picture industry this term denotes a type of lens that changes the shape of the image that is formed on the film plane This system was brought into prominence as the Cinemascope widescreen system, which used lenses that had a horizontal angle of view that was twice the verical angle This formed a sqeezed image on the film which was later stretched out by a matched lens on the projector The aspect ratio on the original negative was 1 18: 1 and this was stretched at a 2: 1 ratio in Cinemascope to result in a widescreen aspect ratio of 2 35: 1 on the projected image Panavision began as an anamorphic projector lens manufacturer, and is now the premier supplier of anamorphic lenses for cinematography
pertaining to gradual evolution from one type of organism to another
A method of getting wide-screen images from normal 35 mm film In the shooting, a special lens is used which squeezes the image A matching lens reverses the process for projection If you were to look at a frame of anamorphic film without "unsqueezing" it (such images would be called "squeezed") it would look like the image on a balloon after the air has been let out of it
pertaining to a kind of distorting optical system; "an anamorphic lense"
term referring to any wide-screen process or format in which the horizontal field is compressed during shooting and uncompressed (restored to normal width/height) during projection Also see Panavision, Academy Ratio
used to describe the widescreen picture size on some DVD-Video discs and Digital TV transmissions An anamporphic picture is a widescreen picture size that has been 'squashed' at each side (horizontally) during filming or recording so that it fits into a non-widescreen 4: 3 frame When an anamorphic picture is displayed on a widescreen television, the TV will expand the picture horizontally to restore the original widescreen picture size Viewing an anamorphic movie on a 4: 3 television will mean the picture appears squashed with tall, thin actors
A process that stores images with different horizontal and vertical magnifications for later display through a reversed procedure Generally, the image is squeezed inward from the sides in relation to the height If a picture of a circle is captured anamorphically and the raw image is viewed, the circle will appear tall and skinny - not round When presented, some device must readjust these different horizontal and vertical magnifications back to normal The advantage of anamorphic process is that it allows storing wide aspect ratio pictures on a recording medium originally designed for a generally more square aspect ratio
The camera/projector lens system which "squeezes" an image (usually to a 2: 1 ratio) onto film during shooting, and unsqueezes it during projection The viewed image has an aspect ratio twice as wide as what was recorded on film - If the image on the print is 1 2: 1, the screen aspect ratio will be 2 4: 1 See also CinemaScope, flat and ’scope
A lens that squeezes a wide picture into a frame of film in a camera and then unsqueezes it in the projector 4 11
