What is Anamorphic?
Can someone explain to me what is "anamorphic" and why is it loved by so many filmmakers?
I noticed that La La Land, which was shot on anamorphic, has distortion for straight lines which would normally require ultra-wide lenses (14mm+) to achieve, but Damien used a 40mm lens for this film. Is this a result of anamorphic?
The only thing I know about anamorphic is the lens flare streak.
Thanks for the help!

Essentially they are lenses that feature LESS horizontal magnification of your image compared to vertical magnification. This will squeeze a wider horizontal image to fit the size of your sensor, and then in post production your anamorphic image is de-squeezed to make it much wider than the size of your sensor.
Here's a pretty good explanation from RED cameras...

its a technique of shooting wide picture of lens which gives a panoramic view , was used to view as cinema-scope with aspect ratio : 2 : 1
and was created originally during the 1st world war to military tanks.
