Re: Master and Commander AR

Doesn't make any sense.  You can create the same compositions in Super-35 as
with anamorphic.

You shoot with something like a 20mm spherical in Super-35 and crop
vertically to 2.35 and you'll get more or less the same composition as
something shot with a 40mm anamorphic lens.

If Super-35 seems cramped, it's just because the filmmakers are composing it
to look cramped.  They could compose it to look loose too.
