Don't even think about running this at 1.85. The framing is too tight and the cue marks on R1 won't be visible. I'm guessing that this would look best at 1.66 or maybe Academy. In any case, it was overcropped at 1.85.  |  IP: Logged Tao Yue Expert Film Handler Posts: 209 From: Princeton, NJ Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-20-2002 01:45 PM                        Having read your post, I tried screening it in Academy and discovered that it was hard-matted at 1.66. So ran it at 1.66 and still framing looked tight. My question is: Why hard-matted? It was shot on DV and (presumably) will be released at 1.33 for DVD and VHS. It ran mostly in arthouses anyway, so it would've made sense to print the entire image, giving the option of running in Academy or running in 1.66 and framing high. ------------------ Tao Yue MIT '04: Course VI-2, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Projectionist, MIT Lecture Series Committee  |  IP: Logged
