Well, the traditional sign would be the bunched up image, such as a horse's ass being too close to it's head
Maybe it was actually a scope print?

| Post subject: | Showing flat prints through scope lens |
Today I added a scope trailer onto a reel of flat trailers that I have collected. The trailer was at the end of the reel so I watched the 4 trailers before it that are flat through the Anamorphic scope lens and they didn't look at all bad. What is everybody's thoughts on showing flat prints through scope? |

I've never done it, but I'm not sure I'd like it. Wouldn't the image be "fat"? Why would you want to? |

Mike, I didn't notice a "fat" image. They looked fine to me. I have Monster's Inc. trailer and the animated ones look very good. It might be scope but how do you tell just by looking at the film with the naked eye? |

You can view flat prints with a scope lens or scope prints with a flat lens. The actors will looks either taller and thinner or shorter and wider. There is another variation. Turn the scope lens sideways. Far out man. ![[set5_b/set5_b/sifone.gif]](./images/smilies/set5_b/set5_b/sifone.gif "sifone")

If you reverse a scope lens and show it sideways you can lay on your side and view a very small slit. Now, get out the binoculars and you can see the images. How about this: Turn the projector upside down and reflect the light beam through a 45 degree angle mirror. Shasam! Upside down and backwards. Try projecting through an aquarium. Cut a small circle in the wall between your apartment and the neighbor's, then project silent films through it. When the police knock on your door, charge admission and cut more holes. Don't tell the judge you got the idea from this forum. ![[set5_b/set5_b/conehead.gif]](./images/smilies/set5_b/set5_b/conehead.gif "cone head")

When I worked in the theaters, we FIRED any projectionist caught showing films in the wrong aspect ratio. That included showing flat prints with a scope lens or using the wrong aperture plate. |

Only a knucklehead would even post about showing flat prints through a Scope lens. Sure - it looked fine to you Scott. It all makes sense now.

After several lobotomy's like yourself, perhaps we might entertain the idea of performing such vigilant acts of film projection . . . . |

Almost half a hundred years ago I saved my pocket money and bought a 50 ft super 8 silent reel of a Columbia extract from "The First Men in the Moon". The colour was crap even then (very brow/purple)- BUT the image was tall and squashed! I realised a while ago it must have been (unintentionally?) scope. I know it is still somewhere in Melbourne and I would love to find it and project I again as I now have a scope lens and it would be a buzz to see even those few scenes in wide screen. |
