matting Viewfinder to 2:35:1

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had any advice on matting the LCD screen inside the viewfinder for a 2:35 frame?

Thanks,
Mike

I actually started doing that this summer and what I did was cut some thin strips of bright green masking tape. Then I popped in a tape of some footage with 2:35:1 letterboxing and taped off the guides. Works pretty well.
