You’ve got all these locations so perfect
And the cast too
It makes me happy
It really does cheer me up and make my day when I feel like crepe
So thank you so much for doing this
I know it sounds lame or whatever but I really appreciate it x
+ You photographs are beautiful
Wow. What cameras are being used for this? Since I have no experience (yet) with pro cameras Why does the camera film in 4:3 but crop to 2:35:1? BTW If it weren’t for Shaun I wouldn’t have written 3 screenplays, and I wouldn’t want to become a director, and I wouldn’t have wasted 10,000 on a Ag HVX200 and some equipment. Your my hero.
Look’s like they’re shooting 35mm framed for 1:1.85. Almost all 35mm cameras film a 4:3 frame by default (aka ‘Academy’ or 1:1.33 aspect). Depending on how the camera is prepared, the shaded areas above may actually be ‘filmed’ but they’re never intended to be seen (unless the shot needs to be reframed later on, but that tends to be rare).
1:2.35 on 35mm is shot either with anamorphic lenses which ’squeeze’ a 1:2.35 image into the native 4:3 frame (i.e. the ‘Die Hard’ movies), or on ‘Super-35′ which uses a non-anamorphic lens on a larger area of 35mm than Academy. Super-35 can be cropped to 1:2.35, 1:1.85 or 4:3 (’Titanic’, ‘Apollo 13′).
I’m assuming Edgar and Bill chose to shoot 1:1.85 on “Scott Pilgrim” for creative and/or practical reasons - more vertical space, less light required, more compact cameras and versatile lenses, less complicated visual effects etc.
Wow, this is probably one of my favorites you’ve taken. That light and how it’s illuminating the snow makes it all very relaxing, and the owl and the Cera - I like it. Always good to see one of the books close at hand, too. I may want to frame this one, actually.
is that someone started to write ‘faculty’ along the edge of the book, and then given up?!
great, as ever. (and meant to say nice to see you in the video blog.)
i watched the un-tv version of Pride and Prejudice last night. Donald Sutherland as Mr Bennett!! i was surprised. and Penelope Wilton being the lovely aunty.
lol yeah I’m here. As crazy as things are right now I’m still trying to get as much pre-production done that I can with out leaving the house, which is hard. Thanks for looking out.

That’s a very cool shot of Mr. Cera.
More cameras should come with their own owls.
You are early with the photo today!
Awesome photo, it’s nice to see these views of what’s happening. Thanks!
The owl is creeping me out a little bit!

LOL! Michelle we wrote almost exactly the same response to this one!
Love the lighting in this.
And the owl.
And the Pilgrim book.
And the ghostly-swinging-Cera.
Let’s just say I’m quite fond of the whole photo.

The SP Night Owl

“The owls are not what they seem…”
Keeping the pigeons away?

The owl reminds me of Clash of the Titans.
That’s funny, it does!
The date scene from the first book?
I keep staring at that owl expecting its eyes to start moving pretty spooky
Thanks for another cool week of photos, hope you have an ace weekend
