Brad your slipping. It is nice to have clean bottom and top frame lines on the screen for a change. John A.

Please read the FAQ regarding thread titles (namely "Teaser Titles") and then edit your post.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 11-06-2004 07:54 PM                        I assume "The Incredibles" CGI was all recorded out directly to a master positive or to duplicate negatives, so all the framelines would be consistent, and without negative splices. A live action feature shot with anamorphic lenses might use a variety of cameras, so the framelines could vary. If the anamorphic negative is spliced, care is needed to avoid the negative splice lines showing at scene changes (as was the case in "Passion of the Christ").  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-06-2004 08:41 PM                     I noticed them -- they are visible on-screen in some theatres.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 11-08-2004 11:03 AM                        What do you mean wide framelines? How could there be wide framelines on a scope picture? If framelines on a scope print are any wider than normal (which is practically none-existant), then theatres that are properly lensed, have properly cut plates and properly masked screens to the scope standard of 2.39, any framelines that are wider than the spec would HAVE to show on the screen. What did they do when they made this movie? Throw away the SMPTE standards and recommended practices? What kind of crap is this?  |  IP: Logged
