Size & Compostition

Since we are working with a digital camera that is not manufactured for making movies, the size of the images is different when capturing than the size of the images we are going to use. (wow, long sentence ...).

For this movie we are working with a Fuji FinePix S2Pro.
It can capture images at the size of 4256 x 2848 px.
The images that we actually need, so we can print into 35-mm film, should be at the size of 1828 x 988 px.
WRITE THIS DOWN GEEKS!!

It is not only the amount of pixels that is to big it is the proportions of the image.

It is therefore difficult for the photographer/animator to work with the picture they see.
He/she have to imagine it inside the picture they see.
There is some advantage in that. It gives the director a possibility of choosing another framing after the scene is soot, and even make movements.

An example from the latest scene is here.
The director have to mark for the animator the area in the image that will be used.
