‘Framing’ old news reel footage, any ideas?
Hi there I have some old archive footage in SD 4:3 footage that I want to use in an HDV project. I am considering ‘framing’ the footage. So that I don’t have to zoom the footage to fit in a 16:9 frame I’m considering framing it like in the old silent movies with a curved 4:30 frame. Any ideas on how to achieve this (I’m guessing create a template in photoshop), or how to use SD 4:3 Archive in an 16:9 HDV project?
Thanks and all the best

You could also get creative with the framing by placing the footage inside a stock image of a 50’s TV set, or doing a red velvet movie-house curtain reveal, leaving the curtains on the sides to conceal the pillar boxes (and maybe even place some MST3000-like silhouettes of people in front)

Hi James,
If you still have LiveType around, inside there are some good masks available.[Mark Petereit] “leaving the curtains on the sides to conceal the pillar boxes (and maybe even place some MST3000-like silhouettes of people in front)”
And you can even get this “opening curtains with moving silhouettes” from a template on DVDSTP.
