Mei Lewis Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 The chubby main cop is pretty funny. He's clearly standing on a box in some scenes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought season 2 from amazon.com and it seriously rocks!!!!! Just wondering if anyone else here likes the show??? It was a great show. I thought the camera work was better in the beginning. It was much more dynamic than the final seasons. A lot of people thought it was too shaky so the producers had them tone it down in the end. It made me appreciate the "shakeycam."

simon lomax Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 The shield was a great show, up there with the wire, sopranos and deadwood, i believe that it, or some of the shield was shot on 16mm according to the season 1 special features. There's some strange issues with the format too because when ive bought the region 1 dvds the early seasons at least were all 4:3 and i remember the creator explaining why he did that but the same shows on region 2 have always been 16:9. So i don't know who's getting a cropped image them or us (uk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antti Näyhä Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Apparently it was composed for 4:3 while protecting a wider 16:9 image. The region 2 DVD is not cropped; you can think of it as a "horizontal open matte" transfer that shows some more image on the sides. See this HTF thread for further info and screenshots.

Premium Member Vincent Sweeney Posted May 9, 2010 Premium Member Share Posted May 9, 2010 The Shield is all Super 16mm. Grain was often exaggerated on purpose. I recall reading that much of it was shot on 7299 "HD scan" stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
