Fisheye effect

The filmer follows close and the bowl walls sweep into one big arc. Widescreen skate footage shot through an extreme fisheye lens, the late 1990s skate video look, the frame bent into a barrel with dark rounded corners. A concrete skatepark bowl on a sunny afternoon. The filmer follows right behind a skater in her twenties in a plain white t-shirt and baggy khaki trousers as she carves around the deep end and pumps up the wall, the lens a foot from her board, the bowl's curved walls and the sky bending into a sweeping arc around her. Warm sun, hard shadows, soft standard-definition colour. No readable text, no logos, no brand marks.

Sticks swing at the lens while the garage and cymbals bend around the kit. Widescreen footage through an extreme fisheye lens in a cramped garage band rehearsal at night, the frame bent into a barrel with dark rounded corners. The camera is clamped to a cymbal stand just above the drummer's left shoulder, looking down past his hands at the snare and hi-hat, the garage behind curving around the edges. A drummer in his twenties in a plain grey t-shirt plays a fast fill, his sticks and forearms swelling huge as they swing toward the lens, the cymbals bending into curves. A guitarist in a plain black t-shirt nods along behind him. Plain white drum heads with no print. Warm tungsten string lights, sweaty energy, slightly soft camcorder colour. No readable text, no logos, no brand marks.

A 90s music video beat: he leans in and his spread hand balloons in the lens. Vertical 1990s music video footage shot through an extreme fisheye lens, low angle, the lens close to the performer, the whole frame bent into a barrel with dark rounded corners. A pedestrian tunnel at night lit by flickering fluorescent tubes. A man in his late twenties in an oversized shiny black puffer jacket and a plain black beanie walks toward the camera with swagger, then leans right into the lens with one hand spread wide toward it, so his palm balloons huge, gesturing with energy, mouth moving, while the tunnel walls curve around him. Saturated colour, slight camcorder softness, hard contrast. No readable text, no logos, no brand marks.

The filmer rolls beside the board and the plaza bends around the trick. Vertical skate footage shot through an extreme fisheye lens, the late 1990s skate video look: the whole frame bends into a barrel, straight lines curve hard toward the edges, and the corners fall off into a soft dark circular vignette. Daytime at a concrete plaza with low ledges and a five-stair set. The filmer skates right beside the subject, the lens a foot from the board, low to the ground. A young adult skater in a loose plain grey hoodie and baggy jeans rolls toward the stairs, pops an ollie and flies down the five stairs; the board and his shoes balloon huge in the near frame while the plaza and sky curve away behind him. He lands and rolls past the lens. Slightly soft standard-definition camcorder colour, warm afternoon sun, hard shadows. No readable text, no logos, no brand marks.

Her face stays big in the middle while the street bends past at golden hour. Vertical handheld footage through an extreme fisheye lens on a short pole held at arm's length, the frame bent into a barrel with dark rounded corners. A young woman in a cream knit sweater with a plain canvas tote bag walks toward the camera along a busy city sidewalk at golden hour, smiling and talking into the lens. Her face stays large in the centre while the buildings, lamp posts and passers-by bend and curve outward around the edges and sweep past. Warm low sun, a soft lens flare, natural skin. No readable text, no logos, no brand marks, no readable signs.

A rider launches off a dirt jump and the wheels sweep through the near frame. Widescreen action footage through an extreme fisheye lens, the late 1990s action sports video look, the frame bent into a barrel with dark rounded corners. A dirt jump trail in a pine wood on a bright day. The camera sits low beside the lip of a jump as a BMX rider in a plain black helmet and grey t-shirt launches over it, the bike's wheels sweeping huge through the near frame as he flies overhead against a bending blue sky and trees. Dust kicks up. Real dirt, hard sun. No readable text, no logos, no brand marks.

A wet nose fills the middle of the frame while the room curves away. Vertical footage shot through an extreme fisheye lens held right at floor level in a sunny living room, the frame bent into a barrel, the corners falling off into a dark circular vignette. A curious brown and white beagle trots up to the camera and pushes its wet nose right into the lens, the nose ballooning huge in the centre of frame while its ears and body shrink away behind it and the sofa and window curve around the edges. It sniffs, licks its nose and tilts its head. Warm afternoon window light, real fur texture, slightly soft camcorder colour. No readable text, no logos, no brand marks.

Four friends press in at once and their grins balloon in the middle. Widescreen footage through an extreme fisheye lens at a house party in a lived-in living room at night, the frame bent into a barrel with dark rounded corners. Four young adult friends crowd toward the camera at once, laughing, pressing their faces close to the lens so their noses and grins balloon in the centre while the room, the warm lamps and the ceiling bend around the edges.

A tabby peers in, its eyes swell huge, then it bats a paw at the lens. Vertical footage through an extreme fisheye lens on a kitchen floor, the frame bent into a barrel with dark rounded corners.
