Gaith said:^ Did you read the link, hombre? Those aren't simple crops; they're pieced-together collages of shots where the camera panned from a fixed point. Judging by the number of close-ups the show employed on any ol' random screencap page, I'm pretty sure any artificial video cropping would be disastrous. ;-)
Same technique is being used in the new Lost In Space HD transfers, which really look amazing.Captain Khajiit said:I said reframing because there are more ways to reframe than just to crop. To clarify, I doubt that it's possible to give TOS as wide a ratio as is seen in those images, and that kind of technique would not work for many scenes for anything beyond a static image. However, I'm fairly sure that the show could look very good in widescreen. This post makes for interesting reading. There's also the fact that the new CGI shots were made in widescreen to consider.
