i have proper white balance….I want to adjust the color temperature by different amounts…a few hundred to a few thousand degrees and am looking for an easy way to do this….

the softness of the frame was explained to me by the sales person…I was thinking of cropping that out in editing…

as for the problem of the focal lengths….could I just put in a different matte for different focal lengths? Or maybe one of those companies will make me an adjustable matte for aspect ratio….

the reason I have been talking about using the mattes is that this is what my cinematography professor told me a while ago…and she says she was a well respected camera servicing tech for a large rental house….and was highly sought after as an AC for her skills at manipulating and servicing film cameras.

I think she might be full it….lol

been doing some research and found some companies online that make custom focusing screens for different aspects ratios and mattes for the matte box….

Thanks…I’m learning more about this as I go….I’ve always wanted to shoot in other then the standard option rations because:

16X9 and 1.85:1 offer a too narrow screen that doesn’t capture as much of the background as I want and makes me “block” two actors who appear on the same screen closer then what I want.

While 2.35 captures too much of the background and is more for (in my opinion) shooting majestic landscapes or on large extravagant sets (I wish I had the money to shoot on those type of sets!).

I want something inbetween. I’d like to be able too experiement with ratios between 2.0 and 2.15 to 1. This seems like the optimal for me.

Going back to the discussion on how to change the aspect ratio, I just was talking to someone at Calumet and they gave me a link to companies that makes custom matte boxes for what I want and another company that makes custom focusing screens for the view finders….I’ll probably go with the cheaper one when I get price quotes….

just to clarify the above post…I mean a hardmatte for the matte box…

and I’ve heard you can change the settings for aspect ratio in the camera?
Is this true?…haven’t found the place where I can do that….

Thanks Todd, you are the only person I’ve ever met who knows about Univisium….lol

I’m using digital cameras…so sorry for the confusion…I was thinking of a hardmatte for the matte box….don’t know where to buy one or how to make one….I called B&H and they didn’t have a clue….I’m going to be shooting with a Canon 7D that I’m going to borrowing and never shot with before…I was never aware that there could be settings inside video cameras that would change the aspect ratio to exactly what I wanted but I’ll check into it….

Does this audio problem with the T2i also apply to the 5D or 7D?
