  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Sylves, A cinematographic poem shot on Red Epic 5K Scope !

Some people throw ANA adapters on the front of spherical lenses maybe that is the case...otherwise "Scope" is just a widescreen crop
 
Thanks Andrew.

Yeah you are right. I wrote cinemascope on the poster but it is widescreen as I wrote upon the lenses list.

A question:

for instance, in "The Social Network", Fincher used the Red one MX and the Zeiss master primes and optimo angenieux.
They are not anamorphic lenses, but the film is in 2.35. So it is a real cinemascope or a widescreen crop ?

Thanks.

I will share other pictures soon... ;)

The Social Network was not filmed in Cinemascope... it was Super 35mm cropped for widescreen presentation

It was also printed to film for anamorphic release in it's projection.




Your post is correct, your poster is incorrect.

SCOPE can be slang for 2:35x1 widescreen presentation

Cinemascope is - From Wiki - an anamorphic lens series used for shooting wide screen movies from 1953 to 1967

There were lots of variations...My lenses (Lomos) shoot in Sovscope (a form of CinemaScope from the U.S.S.R.)



All that to say...I understand your meaning in putting it on the poster and I wouldn't change it.
 
I agree that one can refer to a film that is printed on film for anamorphic projection as a scope print, but I don't believe 'scope is an appropriate term for spherical photography. I mean, if I shoot a movie in 1080p but crop it to 1.44:1 is it IMAX? Oh wait, people actually do that...

Then again, Technovision is anamorphic and techniscope is a spherical 2-perf process. So who the hell knows.
 
Yeah, "scope" has become just a term for 2.39:1 (as opposed to "flat" for 1.85:1). As far as I remember, this is even enshrined in the DCI standards, where "scope" means an image that's 2048x858 with square pixels, while "flat" is 1998x1080 square pixel. So, in short, get used to it. :)
 
Comments will be appreciate (negative or positive, i am open minded of course) !

Thanks !
