Author Topic: Buena-Vista-"Cinerama"-show at CinemaExpo Oliver Pasch Film Handler Posts: 53 From: Europe Registered: Jun 2002 posted 06-27-2004 07:17 AM                    Just having returned from this years CinemaExpo in Amsterdam, i'm still amazed by the way BVI presented their trailers this year: "Cinerama"-style, using three Christie-2K-DLP-projectors on corresponding three screens. Wonderful! I was wondering if anybody has taken a picture of this brilliant presentation (using his digital-camera in his cellphone, which have made it behind the security-lines of the Sunshine-brothers...)?  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 06-27-2004 09:01 AM                    Was the screen curved and did any images join to flow across all three?  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 06-28-2004 12:34 PM                        Hmmmm.....Deee-Cinerama. Is nothing sacred to these people?  |  IP: Logged Oliver Pasch Film Handler Posts: 53 From: Europe Registered: Jun 2002 posted 06-29-2004 05:23 AM                    Not one curved screen but three screens, with a center-screen and two wings on both sides in about 45 degrees angle. Not seamless as well. But: looked wonderful! BVI used this configuration for both multivision-style images and one coherent image on all screens. Looked somewhat like this: http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~cinerama/Diskussions-Forum___Gastebuch/discussion-pics/Wehrhafte_Schweiz__Die.jpg (This image does not show the installation at CinemaExpo!) Well, if you want to call it D-Cinerama...  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 06-29-2004 09:59 AM                     That's not cinerama! That looks more like those cheap displays they have at Best Buy (a TV Wall) to demonstrate their fake HDTVs. =TMP-==  |  IP: Logged Dean Kollet Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 591 From: Florida State University Registered: Jul 2003 posted 06-30-2004 08:44 AM                     their new Phillharmagic show thingie at Magic Kingdom does this...  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 06-30-2004 11:08 AM                        quote: Dean Kollet their new Phillharmagic show thingie at Magic Kingdom does this...
