The recently released Lensbaby Movie Maker’s Kit ($2,900) is a complete creative solution for both amateur and professional filmmakers seeking limitless aesthetic and creative shooting options at a variety of focal lengths. Conveniently packaged in a rugged Pelican case, the kit contains two of Lensbaby’s flagship lenses with native PL mounts for use on professional motion picture cameras as well as one Canon EF mount lens for use with Canon’s full line of HD movie-shooting DSLRs.

The interchangeable optics and accessories in the Movie Maker’s Kit include options for soft-focus, wide angle, macro and fisheye shots. Looking to add a little spice or funk to your next indie film? You can mix and match multiple Lensbaby lenses to grab some truly inspired footage.

Scan the Internet for recent examples of Lensbaby video clips and you’re sure to be overwhelmed with the variety of unique and powerful footage created by motion picture artists around the world. The more popular, uploaded examples tend to feature amazing dream sequences, dramatic fading memory scenes and a healthy dose of hipster-y, tilt-shifty goodness.

While the Lensbaby Movie Maker’s Kit excels at opening up shooting possibilities for the creative agency exploring innovative product shots and hip music videos, it has also been adopted by award-winning TV show videographers and Oscar-nominated moviemakers. Lensbaby footage is proudly on display in the mesmerizing feature film, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.

For digital film buffs stuck in a rut or looking for a quick shot of inspiration, the Lensbaby Movie Maker’s Kit could be the perfect remedy. Forcing your eye to see in new ways is a nice little shock to the system to open up new compositions and break free from the norm. It’s also quite freeing and refreshing to create your effects in-camera as opposed to firing up the trusty laptop on site again.

Included in the kit, The Sweet 35, Double Glass, Plastic, and Single Glass optics can be used to create different quality selective focus effects. These optics are great to use when you want to keep one area of the image at a given depth of field in focus while other areas at the same depth of field fall away into a beautiful blur.

The Fisheye, Soft Focus, and Pinhole/Zone plate Optics allow further in-camera creativity only limited by your imagination. Visit the link below for more information on the complete kit and to view some great sample footage.
