If you're in NYC, check out Jesper Just at the James Cohan Gallery

[color=#000000][font='lucida grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', tahoma, sans-serif][size=3][left]Hey, everyone. I've been gallery hopping in Chelsea today, and I came across a really interesting film/video piece in the James Cohan Gallery. Anyone in NYC should definitely go check it out. I think it is open for another week or so.[/left][/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font='lucida grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', tahoma, sans-serif][size=3][left]Jesper Just has made some short films in anamorphic that have two cameras (and therefore two screens) following the story and scene in tandem. They are projected on opposite walls of a dark room in uncropped 3.55:1, with two projectors for each screen. I must say, I looked for the dividing point between the two projector images that make up a single large image, and it is difficult to find and therefore not distracting at all.[/left][/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font='lucida grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', tahoma, sans-serif][size=3][left]It is a surprisingly immersive experience, requiring you to look back and forth between the two opposite walls. Some of his other films are listed as shot on 35mm, but the 3.55:1 aspect ratio of these images (along with some other things) leads me to believe these were shot on digital.[/left][/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font='lucida grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', tahoma, sans-serif][size=3][left]As a side note, I'd love to hear from anyone who has successfully "merged" projector images for higher than 1920x1080 resolution. I had always assumed that it was theoretically plausible but realistically too finicky to bother pulling off.[/left][/size][/font][/color]

Thanks for the information and link; gives one ideas. NYC is a bit far from my location but I can appreciate what has been accomplished when looking through the exhibition images on the website linked in your post and reading the storyline behind the 13:00 min presentation.

No parallax issues?

Are anamorphic lenses telecentric or can they be persuaded to be with an appropriate attachment?
