Guest Sandpalm79 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Whevenever the screen pans on these celestials it makes some weird fish eye effect or something? Like the screen looks warped.. why is this? Is this because its 2:35:1 and no one has a screen that can display that ratio properly and its all condensed? saw it a lot in five elements ninjas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Sifu Posted November 22, 2007 Member Share Posted November 22, 2007 Of course! That's the classic Shawscope effect, they do that to have a wider panoramic scope to pick up wideshot fights! That's always been one of Shaws staples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sandpalm79 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 but why did I never notice until celestials? Is this something that would have been noticeable in the theaters? or would it have been normal then and just fish eye lookin for us cause we're condensing it? Any info be great!

Guest Le Péril Jaune Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I read somewhere that cinema screens in those days were slightly curved, therefore the effect wasn't noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you why, Le Péril Jaune may be right, but the reason it's looks diffrently on the new DVDs is because the VHS and old DVDs used to be cropped to have a crappy full-screen presentation. Now that they're in remastered widescreen you get what was originally cut off on both ends! Good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kungfuzombie Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 It's my guess that shooting in those indoor locations meant that they couldn't always back the camera up as far as they wanted and so they had to use extra wide angle slightly fisheyed lenses. You never see that in the actual outdoor shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Vampire Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I recently noticed this and thought it was something to do with my having just gotten an LCD tv & upconverting DVD player... and not setting it right. So it's not just me eh? I didn't see this effect at all on my old 13 inch CRT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
