BluBonnet · 11-04-2021, 10:45 PM

I see a lot of discussions focusing on aspect ratios. Which one's your fave?

Roonan · 11-04-2021, 10:53 PM

Oar.

IMAX ratio

What ever aspect ratio the director uses.

Alan T · 11-05-2021, 05:02 AM

2.35:1

JediJones77 · 11-05-2021, 05:36 AM

Not voting, because there isn't one right aspect ratio. It might completely depend on the movie you're doing. A romantic comedy mainly starring two people would not need a wide screen, but a movie with a lot of epic battles might.

1.85:1 (or 2.20:1 but i'm definitely not a fan of 2.35:1)

1.78:1 is my favorite but any will do. I do get upset at anything above 1.85:1 if I see a lot of heads getting cut off at the forehead. I call shenanigans on that.

2.35:1 on a big screen. I think it's misused nowadays but that's a whole other topic.

Michael24 · 11-06-2021, 01:55 AM

2.35:1 has always been my favorite.

I like ultra panavision 70 ones!
