COUNT DRACULA

Though this is claimed to be an open-matte transfer, the right side is consistently tight all through the running time. I stayed away from examples where the camera or the actors are in motion, and *especially* from examples of 'Franco being Franco' (aggressive zooms, bizarre or 'incompetent' compositions, hand-held shots). These are mostly from completely stationary setups.

The last two are interesting because they're the same shot, going from the wide to a tight on the tomb. Something tells me that Manuel Merino isn't so incompetent a DP that he can't *quite* manage to get the 'engraving' on the screen in two attempts.

Can you tell I have no New Year's plans whatsoever? image
