Any one have a custom cropmark file to shoot 2.35:1 but with cinemescope shifted to the top of the frame rather than center so that you can output in both cinemescope and 16x9?

They're pretty easy to make.
Is your cameras display 4:3 or 3:2, and what resolution.
Or what model is your camera.

But to the rest of your semi statement.
Why would you want the 'cinemescope' at the top of the 16x9 frame?

Its a 5d mark III.  The problem I'm having is the current crop marks are centered.  I deliver a documentary edit of the ceremony and reception in 16x9, and a feature film in cinemescope.  The problem is that I frame everything for cinemescope and I get too much head room when I cut the documentary edit.  If the crop is on the top, then it will always be framed correctly no matter if you deliver 2.35 or 16x9.  You just shift the image down in post.
