Chasing Amy DVD IS Framed Incorrectly After All…

  • Well, it seems that astute viewers of the Chasing Amy DVD weren’t wrong after all. The sucker DOES have some framing issues and wasn’t, as the package advertises, supervised by DP Dave Klein (hence the errors). Vincent explains:
Well, it turns out that the mis-framing problems on the DVD are *NOT* our beloved D.P. Dave’s fault at all, because he DIDN’T supervise the transfer. As it happens, Scott became aware that Buena Vista was prepping to do a new 16:9 transfer of CHASING AMY, and informed Dave, who then got in touch with BV because he wanted to supervise it like he did the original video transfers (both the pan-and-scan and letterbox) in 1997. Well, he was told by BV that it was too late, the transfer was already done. I’m guessing Criterion was mis-informed when they were given the transfer and told that Dave supervised it- the folks at Criterion are all good people, and this must have been the result of them being given mis-information. It sucks- some shots on the DVD just don’t look right, and because the transfer is credited to Dave, everyone will be thinking it’s his fault. I just wanted to get the word out that it isn’t his fault at all- it’s the fault of whoever did the transfer at Buena Vista Home Video.
