Matthew Greiner Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Hello everyone, In a couple weeks I'll be shooting a short film on Super 16mm film using an Arri SR16. The director and I have agreed to crop the final image to 1.85:1 and I'm wondering how I can go about framing for this aspect ratio in camera. I looked through the viewfinder and, to my knowledge, I don't think there were frame guides for this ratio. Matthew Greiner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Greiner Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 You need to get the right ground glass in the camera! Is ground glass easily swapped out? If so, is this something that can be rented? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Jensen Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Extremely easy. You'll need a pair of Hirshman forceps, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
