Are there any theatres which still have standing space at the back, so they could sell more tickets than they have seats? I haven't seen any here for many years, probably since the '60s.  |  IP: Logged John T.

They have been running How to Train Your Dragon on it.

I assume it's just one lens, right? Does it switch back and forth betweeen the two aspect ratios with a special element? There is no anamorpisis involved with the T3D lens. Remember, you're dealing with two "half height" 35mm images, so you wind up on screen with aspect ratio that's close to "scope". (In fact, in my theater the scope and T3D aperture plates are pretty much interchangeable. The diffrence is extremely minor) For 'Flat' 3D, they just print the image with black bars on both sides, the same as is commonly done for trailers for FLAT releases that are shown with SCOPE films. There is no change at all in the lens. The only thing I've got to do is to close the screen masking down to the size of the 3D Flat image.  |  IP: Logged
