Re: Eclair Cameras: gate 1:1

[CJ Schepperstop <cjs@sound.net>]

Can you make a hard matte to put in the filter slot?  It will be close to
the film and may give a sharp edge.  Test it.  You'll need a matte on the
focus screen, too, which should be matched to the matte in the filter slot.

Are you going to project a print?  Or go to telecine?  A hard matte can be
made in telecine or NLE or linear editor very easily.
