I do have the option… I guess. To use either the Sony HDR FX1 (which I utterly dislike and also does the girl that will handle the photography) or the Panasonic DVX100 which I like. I don’t know much about the 4:3 mode on the DVX100 thouhg.

“If you’re just going to make an image of a “landscape on fire”, then cachee it into the little visor-window with a mask, it will look pretty unrealistic without distortion.
I think that’s going to be the main challenge in selling the reflection. ”
That’s exactly my point. What I intend to do is.
1. Not only crop the image into the visor shape but also distort it heavily using warp effects and/or some lens effects from Tinderbox for instance. I do agree with you. Realism will come in the first place from the correctness of the distorsion, I totally agree. -
Oh, and yes. I will shoot 4:3. I’m gonna have lots of closeups as I said, panoramic would not help too much. Besides I think that shooting 16:9 is *generally* a nonsense as it means throwing away some image space from the already small PAL (in my case) frame.

Well, I’ll try to come up with some pictures of the helmet as soon as I can. Now, head movements will not be too violent. There might be some rather long shots with the pilots face / visor. Basically I also though of.. well… superimposing the landscape layer, and masking it to fit the shape of the visor. What I’m more concerned with, are the blending mode and opacity settings but I think this is an issue of trial and error.

Well, thank you guys. Feedback was far more detailed and encouraging than I expected.
Many thanks again,

did i answer the film (telecine) zoom/pan & scan question?
Yes, quite satisfactory. Thank you. 🙂 -
Dump them, or else, when you’ll be retired, with a nice hose and wife in your house and pina colladas, watching the beautiful sunset, you’ll suddenly receive a phonecall from god knows what young secretary claiming she doesn’t like that cut at minute 5:30 (they will only have VHS or DVD so they’ll not be able to provide acurate timecode):)) .
Seriouslly now. This… “… many decision makers” stuff sounds pretty scary to me.” You could charge them by the hour tho’. -
“So far I’m not getting much promising info on this…but I haven’t forgotten.”
Well… I’ll also try to look around for answers too. And also stress my editing system see if I find out anything that might give us a clue.
Regards,
