If you’re unfamiliar with pixel pitch, it’s the distance between pixels measured from the center of one pixel to the center of the next. Well, maybe one: Don’t have shitty sound. Mix aspect ratios, mix resolutions, mix primes and zooms, mix anamorphic and spherical, mix film and digital. It doesn’t have to be one format throughout the entire process.
