Hello Greg,
Thanks for a very interesting post on aspect ratio and letterboxing. I, for one,
would very much like to learn more about this topic, so please do send info on
how to get the publications you mentioned(they are journals, I assume?).
I also have a question, I'm quoting from your post:
"Someone mentioned microphones coming into shots on films that were shot full
frame for 1.85 projection."
What is the meaning of "full frame" in this context? My understanding is that
films shot for widescreen are filmed with anamorphic lenses which squeeze the
image onto 35mm film and that, during projection, the image is unsqueezed,
but that you still get what was seen by the camera. Am I wrong here? Is there
some masking of the image before it is printed?

PS. I couldn`t understand your e-mail address, or I'd have replied personally.
