Larger than life

Tsunamicore is a film production company. Its use of anamorphic lenses gives the films their hallmark cinematic look. The company’s vintage Ultrascope lenses have seen action on a host of Spaghetti Westerns, most notably Sergio Leone’s iconic 1966 movie The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, starring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach. A distinguishing characteristic of anamorphic lenses is the way they render out-of-focus points of light known as bokeh. Normal lenses produce spherical bokeh while anamorphic lenses have oval bokeh which are now thought of as much a part of the cinematic experience as a bucket of popcorn. Tsunamicore’s logo with its wavy S has nothing to do with films and everything to do with its larger-than-life name.
