Jul 31, 2014 at 12:20 comment added Matt Grum @Andrew true, but the point is there is with stills you can usually upgrade to a larger format / higher resolution sensor when you want a wide image, whereas shooting moving pictures on film this isn't possible (the cost of moving from 35mm to 70mm for a production would be pretty huge). with digital cinema cameras now sporting resolutions of 5K and upward this restriction doesn't exist, if anamorphics are used it is for effect, either for the squished bokeh or lens flare (see any J.J. Abrams film).
