In recent weeks, there has been 2 different films released at 2:1 aspect in a Flat container.
This results in small letterboxing of the image on a Flat aspect screen.
A number of older independent cinema owners I know are quite concerned and are discussing the possibility of implementing Macros and side Masking to make 2:1 look the way is should.. (To them anyway.. Ie motorised masking moving to exactly the right place.)
DCI does not mandate Masking like the film days as digital masking and lens shift capabilities of digital has largely made that requirement obsolete. However, these older cinema owners consider this unprofessional/lacking in showmanship.
And it does lead to the question. Will this ratio become the norm? If so do we need a new name?
Flat, Scope and TwoOne?
