Re: Combining 16:9 and 4:3 in one project

It's no big deal to mix them. Many today do.
It can even be used as an elemental design, going from one to the other.
Old school thinking says you can't have mixed aspects or even image sizes that are similar. New school says "why not?" Our ADD world is comfortable with seeing vertical, diagonal, and mix size/shapes in broadcast.
Pitching a second track beneath the 4:3 media that fills the pillar boxes with something interesting is commonly seen. Our typical method of dealing with this is to use the same video, one expanded to fill a widescreen and set to blur, desaturated. It makes for a matching backdrop, and works very well. I've noted ESPN doing this a lot lately with old footage as well.
I'd recommend starting with a wide aspect project so that you're not chopping down your widescreen content, and fill beneath your 4:3 aspect content.
