I really don't get why people (I'm thinking specifically 4bi9 here) use ultra-widescreen formats for ski edits. It seems to me that every shot ends up cutting off a significant part of the subject, and lots of the shots are just composed horribly as such. (See Fig. 1)

Is there some benefit to ultra-wide that outweighs the losses of almost every single shot cutting off a major portion of the subject that I am unaware of? Or are these guys just trying to seem professional and big-time by using the aspect ratio that hollywood movies are in?
