15 Field - 1.77 to 1 Field Guide

Professional Animation Field Guide | 1.77:1 (16:9) Aspect Ratio

Our 1.77:1 Field Guide is the standard layout grid for television and broadcast animation. Matching TV 16:9 aspect ratio perfectly, this is an essential tool for modern 2D animation pipelines.

If your work is intended for television, streaming platforms or internet broadcast, this is the field guide that you need.

How a Field Guide is Used

This transparent guide is used to establish the exact layout for 16:9 format productions, drawn on 15 Field Animation Paper. Supplied pre-punched and ready to use with our 3 Pin Pegbars, the Field Guide is placed over your drawings to check what's meant to be in shot, is in shot!

With the field guide you can precisely orchestrate character action and camera moves, knowing with complete certainty how the artwork will appear on television, voiding any unwanted cropping.

At Chromacolour we recommend our 1.77 to 1 field guide for anyone looking to work at a 16:9 ratio. If however, you want to work on a slightly wider, cinematic format, our 1.85 to 1 field guide is the one to use.
