Movie Making Manual/perf

Previously known as "Techniscope" THX 1138 was shot in Techniscope. Natively 2.35:1 aspect ratio Uses half as much film as 4-perf Is difficult to find cameras and telecine facilities The cut for 4:3 TV is radical because there's no top and bottom to expand into The new, fine-grained stocks make 2-perf very attractive Be very careful about hairs in the gate and lens flare because there's almost no frame line Tough to optically print but it can be done (e.g. Multivision235) Links http://www.multivision235.com.au/ http://www.widescreenmuseum.com/widescreen/wingts1.htm http://www.widescreenmuseum.com/widescreen/whywidefilm-oct1930.htm http://www.cinematography.net/Pages%20DW/2-perf_35mm.htm
