In this cinema hobby when we say "anamorphic" it is about the squeezed picture that need to be streched out using the anaoarphic lens. It gives around 16:9 or 2:1 screening size ratio.

But I open this youtube (about photography):

How to make an Anamorpic lens for $3

It seems he is talking something different.

So what is the anamorphic means?

thanks

When you use an anamorphic lens on a camera out of focus light spots show as ovals, his filter does the same. It just shows he doesn't know what an anamorphic is for. It looks as if he has made a Cinemascope movie by masking and used what he has built to add some distortion to emulate a flaw in the anamorphic system.

You don't get that effect on a really big budget 70mm widescreen movie, even in reduction prints.
