 Your page w/ 2.35 aka Cinemascope or Panavision
I came across your page, while trying to send related links to a director I'm working with, and figured that I would let you know that the 2.35:1 aspect ratio is never (in the industry) referred to as "panavision". Panavision is a camera house, they did develop some of the finest ANAMORPHIC lenses in the world, 'Lawrence of Arabia' was the first Panavision Anamorphic feature film. But if you say that the film was shot in "Panavision" it only means that it was shot using panavision's lens and camera bodies. Which can be anything from 4:3 to 2.40, Tv to Features.
Cinemascope is a brand of lens delivering a 2.66:1 aspect ratio, but a true 2.35:1 or 2.40:1 ratio is achieved with ANAMORPHIC lens recording on an Academy 35mm negative, or with Spherical lenses on a Super-35mm negative, and the 2.35 ratio area extracted.
People call it Anamorphic, 2.40, or Scope some times, usually British Dp's.
Don't care if you change it on you site, just figured I'd try and let you know.
