I'm a certified Spielberg nut. I love everything he does in its own way and there's nothing better than going to the theater to see his work. It's like church. But better hymns. One thing I don't always notice is the aspect ratio that Spielberg decides to shoot within every one of his films. But someone keeps an eye on it. Todd Vizari is a blogger and FX guru put together this useful infographic breaking down Steven Spielberg's use of aspect ration and his collaboration with cinematographers. Check it out below.How Does Steven Spielberg Use Aspect Ratio? Credit: FX Rant Some cool notes Todd Viziri points out are that: Spielberg began his heralded career with no less than five anamorphic films in a row (The Sugarland Express, Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, 1941, and Raiders of the Lost Ark).After Raiders, 14 out of his next 18 films were shot in 1.85 aspect ratio with spherical lenses.With 1993's Schindler's List, Spielberg began his relationship with cinematographer Janusz Kaminski. Kaminski and Spielberg have now collaborated on 14 films in a rowAll five of Spielberg's recent films have all been photographed in the 2.35 aspect ratio; all but one were shot with spherical lenses (Super35). The lone anamorphic film was Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Todd made this infographic in 2013. So I went to IMDB to see how Spielberg has added to this list.
