spider man aspect ratio
Hey guys,
All you bitching about the aspect ratios need to calm down. You got it for free, shut up and buy a ticket and see the whole thing in digital surround sound and the correct aspect ratio. the AR isn't squeezed to 1.85:1- it's squeezed to 1.66:1 because it's encoded in PAL- European pal tv's are 1.66:1 as NTSC tv's are 1.33:1, hence the difference. The OAR of this film was 1.85:1, and it was, like most 1.85 movies, shot open matte, so a 1.33 frame would be exposed to be used fully on the eventual vhs home video release. The black things you are seeing at the top of the frame on a full frame shot are parts of the camera matte box, which was probably there to block a lens flare. Just because the aspect ratio changes for special effects doesn't mean that the the svcd was sourced from two different places, and just because you can see boom mics DOES NOT mean it is a workprint. Boom mics appear all the time in theatrical releases of major movies. Also, i would expect a lot better contrast from a workprint. This was a telesync that was probably made in a theater during a private showing or something. It was probably made using a good digital video camera using a direct stereo sound input and the matte on the projector was removed so that the full frame image could be projected in 1.33:1 or 1.66:1 section of the screen. If the changing ratio pisses you off so much matte it yourself with tmpeg or something, but the fact remains that this is NOT a screener or a workprint, it is a telesync. The hulk trailer before the movie is a dead giveaway that it is not a workprint, let alone the overall quality of the "transfer". Yes, this is a damn good telesync, but not good enough to be a screener.
