frame a 2:35 from an HD then anamorphise en the shoot

[Delorme Jean-Marie]

hi all

 

for a short we shot 1 year ago, and after winning some prizes and money in festivals we are able to go to a print.

 

the film was shot in the scope ratio 2:35

we planed to shoot on an arri lazer with an anamorphose.

 

so the final print will be in the real 2:35 ratio for projection : scope

 

 

what is your opinion, have you done it before?

max any idea?

i'm quite confident with this route and the people doing it : post house is Mikros image in Paris and the lab is the great Arane lab in Paris (imagecare)

 

thx all let me know

It's done all the time. I've shot a number of HDCAM movies that were filmed-out to 35mm anamorphic: Jackpot, D.E.B.S., When Do We Eat?, The Quiet. Put a framing chart at the head of the project or deliver a letterboxed project so the people doing the film-out know where to crop (though most movies are a center crop anyway.)

 

Just remind them constantly that you want to crop and stretch and record-out to 2.40 35mm anamorphic ('scope'). Have it on the paperwork somewhere.
