I don’t see what you see

November 20, 2024

When looking at screencaps for Sanditon, it became obvious that there are several ratios floating out there. People with wider versions that don’t cut as much of the content out. This hasn’t been the first time that a photo was sitting at the edge of a screen in some formats, and flat out not available in another. Always weird.

This winter has made me TIRED! Just endlessly exhausted. I don’t know about the rest of you.

I digress.

A nice gold crown and a gray (green?) Regency gown this week.

Lots of really great costumes being submitted. Check back next week for more!

About The AUthor

Katie is the creator of Recycled Movie Costumes, where she’s constantly haunted by the ghosts of costumes past. One day, she had an epiphany: if she had to suffer through these recycled costumes, then so should everyone else! And thus, Recycled Movie Costumes was born.

Contrary to popular belief, Katie does not have a photographic memory, nor does she work in the costume industry. She’s just a girl whose life has slowly spiraled out of control after watching too many costume dramas on Masterpiece Theatre.

Costume Commentary

  1. Not sure about the aspect ratio and how a difference would be justified in these streaming ages. I try to get screencaps from cap-that.com as they’re publicly accessable and one thing I’ve noticed is, that masterpiece streams in higher quality than prime (which usually works the latest period dramas in some substreamer or other) or even physical media pressings (blurays still not being the state of play for the German market – or girly period drama usually being neglected for more ‘boyish’ genres). Anyway, the first season of Sanditon had unaired cut scenes that have been released by Red Planet Pictures and then there were the (highly unfortunate and story-stumping) cuts post premiere for selling the program internationally, working the usual (lamentable) advert ratio (45 ‘ series to 15 ‘ ads in an hour when the original episodes had about 53’ runtime). Same thing with seasons 2 and 3, just this time the British TV versions had been affected as well, not just the international versions.

  2. I loved Sandition, it had good drama and costumes and i am tired too in fall/winter but is holding on doing my reused blogs and working hard at my job….I loves period dramas costumes and tv series and movies

  3. This reminds me that I still haven’t watched Sandition. I just started Ghosts UK and Ghosts US, so maybe after.
    About the different aspect ratios, I wonder whether one might be the UK release and the other US Masterpieces one.

    I’m with you in feeling exhausted this fall/winter. Everything seems so bleak right now. Anyhow I try to find pleasure in the things I enjoy. Like this site 🙂

    • Which do you prefer? Ghosts UK or Ghosts US?  Or are you too early into it to tell?
      I definitely think Masterpiece Theatre has different aspect ratios. I also suspect they cut some scenes as well. I know the format for Downton Abbey was vasty different on both sides of the pond.
      I appreciate your kind words about the site. Always helpful to know that people enjoy it here!

      • I’ve only seen two episode of the US version which were still very close to the UK version but also most definitely Americanized. I enjoy both so far but I decided to go with the UK version first because it only has six episode per season and is already finished, while the US version is still running. I don’t think a US remake was absolutely necessary but from what I’ve seen I liked the changes they’ve made and I’m sure they’ll soon have their own storylines not found in the UK version. I’ll see once I continue past episode 02. My general impression is that the US version is more polished while the UK version is more realistic in its style. I think comparing both side-by-side would be a great case study in how American and European/British tv differ.
