Vistavision cine camera.

Vistavision cine camera.

VistaVision is a higher resolution, widescreen variant of the 35 mm motion picture film format which was created by engineers at Paramount Pictures in 1954.

Paramount did not use anamorphic processes such as CinemaScope but refined the quality of its flat widescreen system by orienting the 35 mm negative horizontally in the camera gate and shooting onto a larger area, which yielded a finer-grained projection print. It is often referred to as 'lazy 8' due to the horizontal rather than vertical running of the film through the gate.
