Hi, I'm having a digital master made from 16mm film shot in the '50s. From what I understand, since it was shot on 16mm, it is natively 4:3 ratio. The film will then be put out on dvd. My question however has to do with mixing the original film with documentary footage about the film and filmmaker. This footage I have shot at 1080/24p. I have been told different opinions how to best telecine this footage for editing purposes. One is to have it anamorphically done, and then I can rescale it in FCP so it will match the HD footage that I've additionally shot for the documentary. A diff. person has said I should have it telecined at HD quality, but at its native 4:3, so that there is no risk of the original image being distorted, and that I should just live w/ the pillar box. I hope this makes sense. Any suggestions greatly appreciated! Matt
