2x anamorphic on 3 perf 35mm, what are some examples of it?

[Edith blazek]

So to my dismay, no one has 4 perf movements for the arricam lt. So besides the 2019 film Luce, what are some projects that use 2x anamorphic lenses on 3 perf 35mm film?

Bump

[Chris Burke]

if you are stuck with 3 perf, could you use 1.5x anamorphics?

are you only looking at local rental houses? I'd expect panavision to have 4 perf movements. some boutique rental houses in LA like standard camera or old fast glass should have 4 perf. I'd think arri rental would too. if its an owned camera, Andree at AM Camera might be able to help hunt something down.

To purchase I mean (there are now, at the time there weren't, not even from Andree), and I'm in Baltimore, not LA

Alright, ignoring whether one should or shouldn't shoot 2x with 3 perf, besides the movie I mentioned Luce (shot by Larkin Seiple), what are some projects that you know of either shot by someone else or you have shot yourself that utilized 2x anamorphic lenses with 3 perf 35mm film?

[Edith blazek]

Okay I'm pretty sure someone else in the history of cinema has thought of using 2x anamorphic on 3 perf film before or at least after larkin seiple, can someone point to that?

There have been some TV shows that have shot 2X anamorphic on a digital camera for 16:9 HD. "Fear of the Walking Dead" comes to mind. Not the same thing I know. 

I think you can imagine the issue of 2X on 3-perf, that it's just a smaller negative area compared to 4-perf 35mm anamorphic so you'd expect a bit more grain and softness, and a bit more depth of field because you'd be using slightly shorter focal lengths.

Perhaps you chop off 1/4th off a 4perf 2x anamorphic film and see if you like it? Or is that not what you mean?

I haven't had the opportunity to shoot 3 perf anamorphic, but I'm sure it'll look fantastic and all things considered you'll only be cropping in a little bit. You'll really enjoy the extra run time. I am curious what you'll do for your ground glass.
