re: Scheduled forum downtime Fri. 19 July 2019

Re: How does a filmmaker decide which aspect ratio to shoot in?

For a serious and in-depth examination of "how they did it" with a chapter devoted to its cinematography, I strongly recommend this book: The Making of Citizen Kane...

Re: How does a filmmaker decide which aspect ratio to shoot in?

Re: How does a filmmaker decide which aspect ratio to shoot in?

As a prime example, you've included the trailer for THX 1138 -- bravo, sir. I applaud you. Well done.

At one point there's a new pilot having a hard time coming aboard; he misses several approaches in a row. We're seeing this from the flight operations control room up in the island and one of the...
