Re: Vertical Displays

I shot a multi screen vertical display recently and the best method I advised the client was to shoot in one camera on HDCAM so we could cut out the four segments in standard def during post later. The other option would have been to shoot four SD cameras vertically which would have been a major pain.


The camera shot the actors horizontal and I had the editor provide me a template for lining up the actors into the correct area. I was able to overlay the template over the live action in the field using a great feature in the Leader 5750 HDSDI waveform monitor which allows superimposing freeze frames over live action.


The concept and show worked great.
