Hey guys!
I wanted to share a super-cheap, plugin-free method of getting anamorphic lens flares:
Cheap DIY Anamorphic Lens Flare Filter (http://www.frankladner.com/cheap-diy-anamorphic-lens-flare-filter/)
There are other ways of going about it, such as etching lines across hard plastic or a glass UV filter, but this one is glass-less so you don't run the risk of softening the image.
Granted, it's probably not something you'll want in every shot... but if you DO want it, it's cheap. ;)
