Fish Eye Lens: Difference between revisions

** The same gag is used on Yue in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima|Negima!?]]'', as both were made by the same studio - one of the [[OAV]]s opened a scene with a fish-eye view of Nodoka as she talks to someone, then pulls back to show it was the reflection off Yue's [[Forehead of Doom]].

* The first two ''[[Patlabor]]'' films have this on occasion, usually (but not always) when a character is getting reamed for screwing up.

** Mostly it's done just to [[Leave the Camera Running|show off]], it seems, as many of the shots are completely gratuitous..

** The ''manga'' often uses this for the traditional effect, or a lesser version for particularly intense full-page spreads ([http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/63133/fisheye-highres-kishimoto_masashi-kunai-male-narut this] is probably the best example).

 

== [[Film]] ==

* The film ''[[Hot Shots]]'' had a character afflicted with "Walleye Vision" that made the world appear this way. This was a problem because he was a pilot.

* [[The Computer Is Your Friend|HAL 9000's]] POV shots in ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]''. His infamous glowing red eye was in fact made with a real fisheye lens.

 

== [[Live Action TV]] ==

* When [[Seinfeld|Kramer]] decided to put his peephole in backwards (so people could see in his apartment), we saw him like this.

* This is often used in establishing shots on TLC's Hoarding: Buried Alive, because massive, all consuming piles of stuff apparently aren't freaky enough on their own.
