1This is an interesting historical recapitulation, but you might want to try and include a more direct conclusion of what this ultimately means with regards to answering the question asked.Napoleon Wilson– Napoleon Wilson2020-02-25 15:57:28 +00:00Commented Feb 25, 2020 at 15:57

@NapoleonWilson - if you can pick out a specific question in there, I'd be interested to know what it is. I'm merely attempting to provide some clarity to a post which indicates some misconceptions about how aspect ratios and cropping works.theMayer– theMayer2020-02-25 16:00:25 +00:00Commented Feb 25, 2020 at 16:00

1This talks about aspect ratios in general, but doesn't answer the question asked in that I was wondering if there are movies filmed using a frame that is larger than all the cropped aspect ratios that would come from it (it appears so, and though not a movie, the Friends example linked in the comments seems to be a good example). Letterboxing isn't' really germane to this question.DA.– DA.2020-02-25 16:02:55 +00:00Commented Feb 25, 2020 at 16:02

1Well, the simple answer is, "yes," but your question was (and still is) confusing. Would you mind clarifying what a good answer would look like? It is, in fact, quite common for movies filmed with IMAX systems to use the native IMAX ratio, which is taller than standard cinema formats, and would be cropped accordingly.theMayer– theMayer2020-02-25 16:04:50 +00:00Commented Feb 25, 2020 at 16:04

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. plot-explanation), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
