Thanks! I had Slowmotion Inc in California modify the camera to PL mount and widened the gate to Super 35mm for more resolution. My finder has a 1.78:1 and 2.40:1 ratio markings. I framed the film for 1.78:1 and had Cineworks extract a 1.78:1 image when they performed the HD scan. You can always have markings drawn onto your ground glass which will help you frame for 16x9. Then you just tell the lab to extract 16x9 from your 4:3 image.
looks great. i am thinking about getting a konvas KCP but i only have seen films in 4:3 ratio? how did you manage to mount a cooke s4 lense? did you motify the camera? i am specificly intrested in tech aspec. the konvas 2M is to expensive for me but i dont like 4:3. so i would need to know how i can do that aspect ratio on a KPC please? thank you.
Yes indeed, we combined 3 filters (85B, ND.6, and ProMist) to achieve that reflection effect. The Konvas mattebox only holds two filters - and when I added the third we noticed the reflections on the edges. I really liked the happy accident and felt it enhanced the ethereal quality of the scene.

What on earth is happening around 1:27? Are those reflections off the front filtration?
