Watch: Black bars close the frame to 2.39:1 widescreen, round background bokeh is stretched into vertical ovals, and a horizontal blue streak runs out of the bright light. All three are the signature of an anamorphic lens.A line-art demo that only illustrates the technique, not finished footage.

The technique comes first, followed by the scene, action, performance and duration. Paste it straight into a video model and swap in your own characters and plot.

Shot on an anamorphic lens, 2.39:1 frame, horizontal blue streaks from bright lights, background bokeh in vertical ovals. A gas station on a rainy night: headlights sweep across the frame and pull a blue streak; a woman in a leather jacket takes off her sunglasses and says, looking off camera, “Get in.” 5 seconds, streaks only from the bright lights, no full-screen glare.

Common pitfalls

The flare smears over the whole screen and buries the subject.
Adding flares without changing the frame shape still looks like phone footage.

Parameter tips

One flare per shot is enough; don't combine with heavy handheld shake.
