  • Creative Question – pillar boxing 4:3 in a 16/9 project

    Posted by Mark Foerster on July 13, 2019 at 3:58 pm

    I have a Apollo doc that I’m cutting – alot of the source footage is 16mm from nasa and I’m currently going to just let it black pillarbox on both sides – wondering about any creative ways to make it different/better (there is the “cell phone vertical video, double layer zoom, of same material behind it technique) which I’m half kidding about.
    Any ideas or just leave the sides black – thanks in advance!

    This also depends on where this will be shown as some broadcasters/distributors might have their own specs on how to deal with 4:3 footage. Some might want to stretch it whereas others might want to let it be.
