Hello, I?m planning on shooting a film with anamorphic lenses for a 2:35 finish, and I want to be prepared as best as possible. Now, I?ve read many of the post on shooting with anamorphic lenses, but I still need some help clearing up a few things. Where doing a lot of run and gun shooting, so I will be using the on board monitor on the Red for my operating. What would be the best way to view an un - squeezed image on the on board monitor that will allow me to get a sense of the composition? I?ll be talking to my DP later today, so I might have a few more questions. But so far this is one of our main issues. Thanks John

Thanks for the responses, The effect I?m looking for is more of a motion blur effect, not so much the staccato look of using a 45 degree shutter. In order to achieve this, is there a particular shutter angle I should use to create varying degrees of motion blur? Also I might be using the Arri 2c for some shots in the film. Can the shutter in this camera be adjusted for the effect? Thanks, John

Hello, I?m shooting a feature and I?m interested in using a strobe effect similar to the one that you get by shooting at frame rates such as 16 or 12 fps. This effect has been used by Robert Richardson in much of his work, particularly JFK and Januz Kaminski in Private Ryan. I know this is usually done by optically re-printing frames, but my project is going to be finished on HD. Is it possible to achieve this effect in telecine? Also besides changing the frame rate on the camera is there anything else that I should modify? Thanks John
