: Vincent, I was wondering where you acquired all your knowledge about film... all the technical stuff and whatnot. Did you go to film school? If not, was it from books? If so, which ones, etc...?
: Thanks,

It was years and years of reading books, magazines like THE PERFECT VISION, watching movies, reading tech manuals, listening to audio commentaries, etc. etc. etc. No film school at all.
BTW, if anybody here is really interested in learning about aspect ratios, check out the site I've linked below which is pretty much the most comprehensive website I've ever seen when it comes to film formats, etc. Check out the "letterboxing madness" section too while you're at it.
