Geezer Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I always thought the Earl's Court shows were shot on 4:3 cameras. But, have a look at these screenshots from It Might Get Loud Blu Ray. They don't seem to be stretched, so I'm starting to think that the Earl's Court shows were shot on a film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenman Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I'v not watched It Might Get Loud to compair but couldnt they just have cropped off the top/bottom of the 4:3 footage? that was an el cheapo hollywood trick in the early days of widecsreen DVD's just tranfering from video rather than rescanning the film.

You're correct, greenman, that's what they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Confused. Earls Court wasn't shot on film. It was shot on video tape Edited January 17, 2012 by ledzepfilm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Confused. Earls Court wasn't shot on film. It was shot on video tape Yes, it was videotape, but you can still crop the image whether it's film or videotape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledded1 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 And it was filmed for the screens not as a film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
