I'm showing it tomorrow at 3pm, and my key unlocks it at 1pm. The movie info indicates it's in academy and the drive says it's flat. So what I'm wondering is, is it going to look right if I shoot it in flat? By 1pm I'm going to be busy getting ready to sell concessions! (Wow, thanks Swank/Disney! Way to look out for the people showing your product.)  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

The only way to get Academy from that would be to do a pan-and-scan version, which I hope is not what they did. It looks too tight when projected at 1.85 (I tried it). I would hope that the DCP would be a 1.85 frame with the image pillarboxed to 1.66, but who knows.  |  IP: Logged Jack Theakston Master Film Handler Posts: 411 From: New York, USA Registered: Sep 2007 posted 12-07-2012 09:35 PM                     The original pressbook claims the AR is 1.75-1. We're running the Disney/Swank 35mm in April so I'll report back.  |  IP: Logged Melanie Loggins Expert Film Handler Posts: 154 From: Wayne, NE, USA Registered: Aug 2011 posted 12-08-2012 07:47 PM                        Scott was right. It looked and sounded great. Worries for nothing!  |  IP: Logged
