Are you referring to current works? If you want info from farther back there's this list from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Techniscope And from I aM DuBious: http://www.imdb.com/SearchTechnical?PCS:Techniscope But, I don't know how well it covers your Far East question.

Any works current or older, just preferably good :P that anyone knows of really. I've seen the Wikipedia short list as well as the long list of (mostly) italian flicks on imdb, quite a bit much to sort through but haven't really found much of anything.

Jack Moriarty Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 According to David Bordwell, Johnny To and other HK directors shoot on Techniscope Yeah, I've seen that as well, it seems that Bordwell has got his Technovision and Techniscope confused. :| In another article by him as well that complements this one he says Storaro made use of Techniscope according to "link", and page he links clearly says Technovision lol.

Premium Member Max Jacoby Posted November 24, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted November 24, 2008 Indeed he says in another post that the anamorphic lenses used in HK are Techniscope (Cooke) lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he messing up his data or is it like calling all sodas a Coke? Is it a Chinese catch-all word for wide screen? I don't know enough about what's going on over there to have a clue.

Premium Member Max Jacoby Posted November 24, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted November 24, 2008 Oh sorry, my mistake, I meant Technovision, not scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
