Movie Making Manual/perf

• Previously known as "Techniscope"
• THX 1138 was shot in Techniscope.
• Natively 2.35:1 aspect ratio
• Uses half as much film as 4-perf
• Is difficult to find cameras and telecine facilities
• The cut for 4:3 TV is radical because there's no top and bottom to expand into
• The new, fine-grained stocks make 2-perf very attractive
• Be very careful about hairs in the gate and lens flare because there's almost no frame line
• Tough to optically print but it can be done (e.g. Multivision235)
