Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #widescreen, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I *loved* the theme #music, the #costumes, the #locations. 🤩 And I’m glad to say after rewatching: I still do.

    It wasn’t until recently I learned additional seasons were made years after series 1-6 — starring the inimitable David Suchet, ofc.

    The #tech advancements in titling, #CGI, and the use of #widescreen ratio def enhance the storytelling. And the move from Christie’s short stories to her novels abt the character aided the transition from single-episode arcs to longer-form #tv movies.

  6. Good morning! It's 4am... couldn't sleep anymore. Experimenting a bit with aspect ratios between the TV and the Analogue 3D N64 console. Mario looks a bit too fat in 16:9 widescreen.

  7. My friends and I have made movies most our lives. "Widescreen" was inspired by a Barbra Streisand song, but never got further than a preview reel. 1980s. #super8mm #reg8mm #8mm #homemovies #makingmovies #movies #film #films #widescreen #streisand #barbrastreisand #perform

  8. Kleiner Tipp für alle #KDE und #Widescreen bzw. #Ultrawide User. Mit Meta+T könnt ihr Zonen eueres Desktops festlegen und euch die Arbeitsfläche aufteilen. Analog zu #FancyZones bei den PowerToys aus Redmond. Nur unter KDE ist die Umsetzung gefühlt 3x besser und intuitiver.

    All these hoops are basically obsolete with #gamescope nowadays, because this micro compositor allows to configure any virtual display size that games get to see - and handles upscaling on top.

  14. Thrilled with the redscale images from the 'new to me' Horizon 202 panoramic camera. Yes, there was slight banding on some of the images, and others looked a little funny for redscale, but on the whole they were awesome.

  15. @wyatt I can think of one kind of 2D game that benefits from a widescreen patch. Some platformers use heavy "dual forward focus" in the camera, showing more of the map on the side of the screen that the player is facing to give the player more time to react to hazards. Think Yoshi's Island for SNES, the Sonic games for Game Gear, or Full Quiet for NES. A widescreen patch reduces camera movement when turning around, which could improve accessibility for players with motion sickness.

  20. Always when I see YouTube videos about #cinematography, #aspectratio and how #Cinemascope / #widescreen is a "problem" for framing just the face of a person, because of all the "empty dead room", I just wish that these dudes would watch "The Ipcress File" at some point ...

  21. draft - dear YouTube - who decided that "YouTube shorts" should be vertical. If it's to compete with tiktok then

  22. I recently told my fifteen year old that early DVDs often came with different versions on each side. I told him one side was labelled "fullscreen" and asked him to guess what the other side was.

    The correct answer is of course #Widescreen because 4:3 filled the screen even though it wasn't the full width of the movie.

    #Movies #DVD #AspectRatio.

  23. Our website has been largely unchanged for over a decade, and while we have major updates planned, we're also making little tweaks to improve the current experience.

    From now on, our Games DB will no longer have to be updated manually each year to let the users filter the games by the current year. The cutoff point will adjust dynamically.

    The immediate change seen today is the ability to filter by 2023 and 2024.
