On the flat screen in Panavision 70mm In my mind it may have been filmed with Panavision(TM) lenses, but this film was 1.85:1.  |  IP: Logged Alan Gouger Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 501 From: Bradenton, FL, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 01-24-2007 08:24 PM                        This looks like fun, some great titles.

"Who Framed Rodger Rabbit" is indeed 1.85 but they did incorporate the use 8/35 (VistaVision) probably for the effects shots only. Others here may know more.  |  IP: Logged Caleb Johnstone-Cowan Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 593 From: London, UK Registered: Mar 2006 posted 01-25-2007 10:01 PM                     The weekend before my dissertation is due in... dammit!

Others here may know more. VistaVision was used to photograph all the live action shots that were later combined with animation. So that means about 80% of the film was shot 8 perf. I believe it was the largest use of 8 perf since the last VV film was shot in the 60's... Mark  |  IP: Logged
