I was scrolling through facebook and noticed someone had done a fan-made saga trailer.
One of my biggest problems with the prequels is that George decided to shoot 2 and 3 on glorified HD video cameras and they look terrible compared to the other films.
And now they can’t be re-scanned at 4K like film can. Ooops!
To me it’s more the fact that those cameras’ sensors were only 2/3", or less than the area covered by regular 16mm, nevermind regular 35mm.
I’m sure George considered this ahead of AotC, but he probably figured the drop in frame area was worth it just so he could abandon film for digital.
Since shooting digital was such a new thing in general back in 2000, this also meant abandoning the 2x anamorphic lenses used to shoot the OT and TPM on 35mm (aka true CinemaScope) for spherical lenses.
Those are my two biggest problems: the smaller frame size and the lack of anamorphic lenses.
