Filmmaking Masterclass: Recreating THE KILLER with Anamorphic DZO PAVO Lenses – Epic Episode #20
With “The Killer” David Fincher created a masterpiece of cinematic storytelling.
In the first act - the Paris hit - Fincher and his team combined three sets in post. They also added typical artefacts like horizontal flares and distortions to give “The Killer” an anamorphic vibe.
To learn and explore, we set out to recreate the climax of the first act of the Killer, BUT to do it for real: One real location and real anamorphic lenses. We even developed a way to do film through a real rifle scope - anamorphic of course.
This was possible as DZO just introduced three new focal lengths to their awesome PAVO lineup of 2x anamorphic lenses, a 135mm, a 180mm, and a 65mm Macro.
This new focal length and the general short minimum focus distance of the PAVO made them the ideal companions to shout our short.
We take you behind the scenes, share our experiences with you, and of course we show you the result:
“The Killers” gives the original a slightly different spin…

I'm 3 minutes into the video and I believe this is the best thing I saw on the internet.
Hey hey hey hey! Wait! What is that "custom gimbal" you casually mentioned at the end. That looks amazing how did you get it? What is it? How does it work?
? you mean the Tilta float? I attached a flowcine mechanical gimbal inverted on the top… it is out of production but don't be to sad…it doesn't work that great.
This is the very first channel I turned on notifications for. Love you guys!
Thanks
Another masterpiece my friend. ps : thumbs up for the Smiths ;-)
Again a masterclass in practical information sharing, along with product highlight and insight to a well done film. Thanks so much for the work you put into this, and for sharing.
Thank you so much for your hard work. It's informative and entertaining in a masterful way. The sheer polish and passion of this channel never ceases to amaze me. Kudos.
There's a credit called "First Surname?"
Yes... thats the name of the Kubrick Members YT profile.... Thank you so much for your support Dimakop. We salute you!
Love the concept!
Glad you do Alex. Thanks for watching!!!
I love Fincher and this movie. He's such a perfectionist about his craft.
Totally... I love that cinematography is such a self revealing art form. All you need to do is look hard. You can lean all of Finchers tricks by just watching.
Is Canon FD 50mm 1.4 S.S.C. here Radioactive? Google said no Canon Forum claim, no test shown. Meanwhile Camerapedia DOESN'T Verify this being not radioactive. Not on the list of radioactive nor not radioactive.
the 50mm f/1.4 ia not thoriated... the 55 /f1.2 aspherical on the other hand is a real bad boy and one of the most radioactive lenses ever.
This is beautiful. Thank you for making this!
Totally our pleasure man... appreciate your kindness. Thanks for watching
Because of your UA-cam post i watched the movie "The Killer". Nice movie and wonderful reenacting of the beginning of the movie . Like always, YOU ROCK !
Thanks man... very happy you enjoy our work... and Finchers, too ;-) nice to have you around!
Niki, das ist der coolste Film überhaupt großes Lob an dich

Crazy is my middle name... and David Finchers first name
OMG, i will never regret to follow you, thank you so much, you inspire me!
So happy to inspire you! The best thing one can possibly do. Thank you for being around
This is my film school. Thank you for this. Learned a lot!
Glad it was helpful! Love to be your prof ;-)
The movie was shot with spherical lenses. Why would you use anamorphic and say it's a "recreation"?
Because they used "Anamorfake" and a comparison is interesting... of course, only for those interested in the subject.
Really awesome. Recreation looks great.
Thanks man.... appreciated!
Really great video top marks for all the super - hard work you guy done - TOP MARKS. But there are better looking films Fincher made before: Seven, Fight Club, Zodiac just to name a few, even Gone Girl was better, but I see this be more popular with younger audience so fair game 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks a lot and it's our pleasure. Nothing against my heroes Darius and Jeff but admittedly, new technology used in interesting ways helped messerschmidt to craft something different that would have been impossible to do on film. "Better" is always a matter of taste and should not be argued. In this context, the cinematography of the Killer is surly more interesting and easier to recreate
Hands down the best channel dealing with filmmaking. The Snatch homage was nice...why this channel has separated itself from the pack. Bravo.
Thanks a lot!!! Appreciate your kindness
I don't get what the big deal is about anamorphic!
I don't get what the big deal about diamonds!
As viewers we associate certain looks with specific types of production because we are used to them through decades of watching films made with them - some technologies are associated with expensive high quality cinema, sometimes despite being hacks. 24 fps and anamorphic are two examples of this. 60fps looks objectively better than 24fps, but our brains tell us it is "cheap video". Anamorphic is a hack to work around limited film size and spherical has a more accurate projection, but our brains tell us anamorphic is "expensive movie". So even after almost two decades of digital filming and now with modern wide sensors most viewers will still instinctively prefer a film with anamorphic artifacts over a film without them - most of them won't even be able to tell you why. Perhaps this will change in a few more decades with a generation of viewers that are used to expensive productions with 60fps, HDR, UHD, spherical lenses and portrait mode frames.
yes to all that … but. let me expand on that. After a decade of the possibility to easily create a "better" image by upping spatial and temporal resolution… and countless attempts to bring that to main stream media, habits have significantly changed. Young audience don't have the same associations any more… some might have never watched interlaced footage on a CRT. This show an advantage of 24fps and less "sharp" image beyond viewing habits … for cinematic purposes of course. The visual mechanics seem to work very different and high FPS and detail sucks the poetry out of the image. The brain seems to switch from memory/dream state into reality mode if stops to fill the holes. With cinemas 24fps we seem to have arrived at an ideal frame rate… to induce that “magic”. Anamorphic seems to do kind of the same trick with spatial quality.
This video is soooo awesome and informative!! Thank you for sharing!
You are very welcome! Thank you for being around

Masterpiece.
Don't now what to say Adrian... we are at awe. Salutes over salutes... so happy to have your support and kindness around this channel.
I got one for sale, is anyone is interested.
A perfect and great breakdown of what goes on behind the scenes, no need to talk down. This production surpasses many cheesy Hollywood productions.
Thanks man... believe me, we are at awe of what Fincher, Messerschmidt and the crew did. So much better than what we did and also original... which makes it quite a bit harder. Very happy you see us at that level... maybe one fine day.
This is incredibly helpful information, it looks significantly better than the original. (Obviously not to disregard the original, its incredible work and the vfx is seamless)
Glad you feel that way.... better?!?! Well, thank you... and of course I strongly disagree. Messerschmidts images take our images home after a party and never call again. No shame in admitting that... with that budget, crew, and an academy award in the pocket they better! ;-)
@@MediaDivision No shame in admiration! I am certain I have a bias for the authentic anamorphic artifacts over simulating them (simply because 90% of my compositing work is simulating anamorphics). I love the way the real rifle scope looks compared to the comped in one, since the original compositors chose to add a lot of stylized distortion to the circle of illumination from the scope. However that is an artistic choice and its purpose in storytelling is fulfilled perfectly. Everything else they did with the scope (internal reflections and whatnot) was really freaking cool.
@@zircron45 Ahhh… that explains it ;-) absolutely agree on the rifle scope there… it is indeed a mix of "too good" and "too bad" for a real scope image… beginning at the crosshair and brightness, to the totally over exaggerated distortions and reflections in the scopes barrel. I haven't seen any internal reflections like that in any scope or lens in general. All good in the context of course, I would have made it a bit more "real" by filming a real cross hair and do a post overlay, and I would have left the stupid motion tracking cross out.
Production values / budget : views ratio 🤔
What do you mean?
@@MediaDivision You deserve more views
Cool work!!😅

Yes... those, too. Jeff and Darius are my heroes, but the cinematography of the Killer is is more interesting in this context.
This video is phenomenal - the work you put into this is amazing.
Thank a lot AK... appreciated...... thank you so much for making it possible. The division salutes you!
"The Italian consulate is played by... the Italian consulate." ONLY YOU, dude. Only you would go this extra mile. XD So, I don't say this lightly -- this is the first shot recreation / breakdown I've seen of a Fincher film that I suspect would NOT creep him out or make his sphinctre clench. Clearly you know the general "cadence" of conversation around him and his work is often extremely cringe and misses the more everyman, artful common sense/unpretentious side of his craft. So what you made here is especially impressive. On a technical side, it's just great. I could notice a slower shutter kind of motion cadence and higher noise on some shots but nothing intrusive. What's fantastic too is that it's super interesting seeing how in some cases the actual anamorphic lens version is more "clean" than the "dirtied up" image in post -- a VERY valuable find. This is informative in general. and even though I was looking forward to it, and always have my bar a little higher because it's Media Division -- your attention to the extra details, going to the actual locations, heavily consulting Messerschmidt's plans -- once again, you somehow impressed me even with my high expectations. Bravo monsieur. And also the record, as a director myself, I'm MUCH more critical on stuff like this. Bit of a personal anecdote but I attended the American Film Institute as a Directing Fellow last year and met many cinematography instructors and brilliant students from all over the world -- many of whom have assignments like this in their portfolios among other things. Philosophically, I actually believe 90% of "shot recreation" assignments completely fail and are a waste of time -- because even IF the person recreates the shot perfectly -- the product (and often, the person) always end up losing how the original creators actually arrived at their *decision-making.* They focus on the product, not the process. Or vice versa. This is so good because it so closely approximates it and actively gets inside the decision-making without any "mystical juju" or bullshit (of course: especially common in LA) And one other thing -- I positively adore how you acknowledged the ways it wasn't the original -- very humble but not pedestaling. What I love is that you have the reverence and the cheeky fun but also deviated and weren't overly "precious". Your years in advertising and doing this professionally really show -- but of course -- its your showmanship, as always, which is second to none. And you didn't ever forget to discuss or shout out the different departments and incredible artisans, such as Artemple or the great Ren Klyce (an absolute legend, only now starting to be acknowledged) -- you never missed the forest for the trees. And "stuck to your plan" (hehe). Bullseye. Cheers from LA, Soren.
The part where you're talking to the camera (like at 1:35), what was that shot on? Was it also the Alexa?
No, that is our MAVO LF that we also use for the tele and scope shots… the Alexa doesn't record audio when in RW mode… not worth the effort of Time Code etc. when the MAVO looks great and is also very convenient.
… and thank you so much for your support of course!!!! We salute you!!!
@@MediaDivision Looks fantastic. It's a good lighting setup to study for interviews. Thank you for the info.
@@zohairkhan5755 Thanks… it is a quite simple setup, too. One small LED panel shot through a large pop up diffusion, one tube light for the rim, and the practical in the background. No negative fill or fill light is used. The room is tiny, and you can see the door coming into frame during the lens test section.
@@MediaDivision Thanks!!
Man.... I love your vids... Sincerely, I always get excited when I see a thumbnail for a new one. So much effort put into them. Congrats. Amazing work
Nicolas, that was another first class show! No need to knock it down a peg. Thank you for the Master Class! ❤ Hope some of that wine ended up in your glass. Prosit!!🍷
Cheers man… over the years a lot of that wine when through my liver indeed ;-)

Lord of Cinematography… hahahah … like Wayne & Garth would have said… "we are not worthy". Thaks a lot Bo… appreciated
This channel is soo underrated, you deserve 1 mil. subs guys! Cheers
Thanks man… we are all for it… spread the word. Although, I don't think there are a million higher end people on this platform
I love this channel so much! The production quality is always top-notch!
Thanks a lot man… appreciated. Always trying to put out something worth your time!
Your channel puts a crazy amount of hard work into these videos. From matching the shots indistinguishably from source films to the technical prowess and recreation of everything down to camera movements/lighting. All these things are not seen on UA-cam at this level of expertise. I have watched and follow countless filmmaking based channels and most of them don't even come close even with a seemingly high quality of production. What an outstanding channel with subscriber counts that should at least be 10x what it currently is.
Thanks a lot man… really appreciate your kind words. I guess that catering to the high end makes kind of lonely in the sub department. I can't complain though, it is where my passion is.
Phenomenal per usual fellas
Thanks a lot! Appreciated!!
Oh you're back <3
Never gone… just can't put out something like this every month… every second month is not to shabby, right?
I actually watched this movie today so that I can watch this spoiler free 😂
Nice… thats the spirit. THE KILLER is a bit on an acquired taste… the more often you watch it, the better it gets! Hope you enjoy
