Default PDF Help

I work with AutoCAD. I just created this diagram to help you understand this issue:

http://www.cleocrazy.com/disingenuou...1.85vs1.78.pdf

The image on the top represents how much picture you're missing if a studio opts to force a 1.85:1 movie to fill your widescreen television. The Fountain is an example of this.

The image on the bottom represents how a movie SHOULD look if it's letterboxed correctly at 1.85:1 on a widescreen TV. Ice Age 2: The Meltdown is an example of this.

Hope this helps! Outta here. )
