naming the aspect format for 2:1, is there any standard?

[Kaku Ito]

One of the feature film that I'm associating is undergoing the post production procedure. This was shot in 2k 2:1. The DP wanted to keep this aspect ratio (since 2:1 is some cinematographer's concept that he believes in) so we will print this in 1.85:1 or 16:9 letter boxed.

What do people here think we should call this aspect/format?

RED 2:1? RED size 2:1?

edit--------
ah, found his concept, Univisium.

So should we call this Univisium format?

LOL

I was just about to point that out ...

... and btw, not sure if I'd refer to Vittorio Storaro as just "some cinematographer" ... :whistling:

Sure, call it Univisium. It's catchier than "2:1".

Or maybe "Red Univisium" or "Univisium Red"

Sorry, my ignorance . I'm new to cinema.

We had already called one project as Red 2:1 before, I like how Red comes in as prefix, so we'd go with Red Univisium.

There's an explanation that used to be called Univision, which is easier to remember, why not Univision? Someone has the name rights or something?

Red Univision would be easier to remember.

Univision is a Spanish language TV network in the US.
