It wouldn't be magical, just a sort of kit-bash of existing tech in a new way, and it wouldn't be a new exhibition format or anything, strictly production-side. Just wanted to make sure there wouldn't be any objections. What would the format be like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry fam it's not complicated actually. To break it into super simple terms - it's just a way to do anamorphic widescreen on large format film without the absurdly wide Ben-Hur Ultra Panavision ratio. It'd project to the same screen size and shape as normal "flat" 1.85:1 or "scope" 2.40:1 movies. The difference is the large 65mm film format (in this case larger than typical 65mm, still smaller than IMAX) results in a sharper image and less grain than 35mm or traditional 65mm, while also having the characteristics of anamorphic lenses like oval out-of-focus highlights (bokeh), long streaky lens flares, and shallower depth of field. I'd have all the nitty-gritty technical details and some simulated promo images/sample comparison frames in the formal announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xillix Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 If people were interested enough I could do a separate post/thread trying to explain the common camera/film formats in more detail but in an understandable way. As is probably pretty obvious from me putting those details into all my film posts I'm pretty into the tech side of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I'm not sold on inventing new formats in the game that most of us would have no good frame of reference for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xillix Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Anyway if anybody's interested I went ahead and did that brief overview of film formats and such in a thread: There's a chart at the end to compare frame sizes visually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorschach Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I just thought up a story for Expedition Everest and who the main star will be. Will elaborate more once I get on my laptop later tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Question. I’m not sure how many of you watch 13 Reasons Why, and I don’t, but I recently found a song I’d love to use in an upcoming film. Would it be tacky if I used a song that I didn’t know was in the latest season of it? Fair warning: It’s probably going to be Spark 3.
