I saw this over on vx.net, it actually is a really clever way of doing this

It is also a good alternative to scripting and also ALOT easily

This is actually really awesome.Good work man!

Wow, this is really well done
Thanks so much for this. I'm sure it will be helpful for many people in the future, including myself In fact, I never thought of a wide screen effect before, and now I can think of a ton of things that I could use it for.
Thanks again!

Wow, I have to say I'm amazed I have not seen this before. I think this is a very simple and clever way to bring a little bit more to a game's cutscenes. Nice work!

That is a nice tip acctually.
Also; if you don't have the widescreen effect on the whole game and only on cutscenes or so, you could make it even more awesome by having two images that start to show outside of the screen and then have them move in slowly. I did that and it looked awesome!

Nice little tutorial, I was doing this before in RPG maker 2003, and was going to post a tutorial on it, but someone beat me to it, nice work! It really does at "coolness" to your cutscenes

Thanks for this tutorial. It really helps.
