We shoot the simulcast a little differently. The screen is 103 feet wide and 31 feet high and so instead of shooting 16 x9 which is the common aspect ratio for TV and computer monitors these days, we are shooting 29 x 9 so it's a little like cinemascope, almost twice as wide.
This photo is 16 x9
This photo is 29 x 9 (between the vertical lines is the area that will be framed). You will notice less info from top to bottom.
This means we have to create a template for the viewfinders/monitors for each of the camera operators. This afternoon we will test the waters to see what the sets and stage looks like.
Test one: Wide shots won't be as wide. Two shots head to toe will be good but 2 shot cowboys (from head to hip) will have to be tighter to avoid jump cuts in 29 x 9 framing.
7:14 pm, 16 minutes to show time , got to go…….
