	THIS IS CINERAMA - Image Gallery
		This advent of something as new and important as Cinerama was in itself a major event in the history of entertainment.
		Cinerama's stereophonic sound is demonstrated with a thousand Scotch bagpipes and, in another portion of the show, with one of the finest symphony orchestras ever brought together.
		One of the dramatic highlights of "This Is Cinerama" is an aerial sequence in which the audience is taken for a breathless ride through the canyons of' Zion National Park in Utah.

		Cinerama’s four proprietary active movie posters are controlled by a powerful video server located on-site, although each poster has the ability to accept streaming video from a remote server.
		Cinerama is one of the first theaters in the world to be completely wired for digital cinema, a remarkable new technology that utilizes powerful video servers and broadband fiber optic connections to feed digitized motion pictures directly to movie projectors.
		Cinerama patrons are completely enveloped in a surround-sound experience, regardless of where they sit in the theater.

	Cinerama Dome (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Cinerama was a wide-screen format of the early 60's, which used three separate 35mm projectors and a vast curved screen to present realistic travelogues.
		The current Cinerama screen occupies perhaps a quarter of the circular wall, bending slightly with the curve of the walls.
		The Cinerama Dome is bordered by Sunset Boulevard, Vine Street and De Longpre and Ivar avenues.

		To appreciate Cinerama's impact, you have to remember that from their infancy, with very few exceptions, movies had been shot and shown in a virtually square format; even the bosom-heaving Technicolor spectacle that was Gone with the Wind had been corseted within a frame whose rigid proportions dated back to Thomas Edison's laboratories.
		That was the void filled by Cinerama, which was so wide it had to be shot by a three yoked-together cameras and shown by three synchronized projectors, their images blended to fill a vast, deeply curved, panoramic screeen that was nearly three times as wide as it was tall.
		As the curtains slowly parted to reveal the reast of the huge, engulfing screen, the film cut to what has been called the most famous point-of-view shot in history, taken by the bulky, three-eyed camera as it was lashed to the front seat of a roller coaster.

		Cinerama officially debuted at New York's Broadway Theater on Sept. 30, 1952, with the travelogue "This Is Cinerama." It was such a sensation that The New York Times gave the film a front-page review, and it went on to be the biggest-grossing motion picture of 1952.
		The first of the MGM Cinerama films was a financial disappointment, but the second -- with its double-digit all-star cast, its three major directors, its buffalo stampedes and train wrecks and the whole history of the American West crammed into 2 1/2 action-packed hours -- was a blockbuster in every sense of the word.
		Indeed, to the true believers of Cinerama, that naive, impractical process of the 1950s was the pinnacle and summation of big-screen filmmaking, and the chance to experience it once again via pristine prints in the only true Cinerama theater left in the world is quite simply a ticket to movie heaven.

		Cinerama guys hate multiplexes, hate small screens, hates sloppy projectionists, hate the fact that sutdios couldn't care less about all this, because they just want to dump pictures into as many theaters as possible and take the money and run.
		He went back to see This Is Cinerama again and again, intrigued as much by the staggering complexities of the three-projector system, which to his mind had a kind of watchwork beauty, as by the film itself.
		In 1963, Cinerama finally made it to third-tier citites such as Dayton with the release of How the West Was Won, the first Cinerama feature with movie stars and one which Harvey, by then a working professional, had the honor of projecting.

	villatheatre.com - What is Cinerama?
		Cinerama used 35mm film, but the frames were six perforations high instead of the usual four and ran at 26 frames per second instead of 24.
		Cinerama's most noticeable flaw were the lines where the three separate images joined together on the screen.
		New Cinerama movies were filmed in Ultra Panavision 70, Ultra Panavision, Super Panavision, Todd-AO, or Technirama and then released with a "rectified" 70mm print that was supposed to reduce the distortion caused by showing a single-projector film on a deeply-curved Cinerama screen.

	Cinerama Adventure (2001)
		But the Cinerama format singlehandedly revived a film industry that was in the process of being overthrown by the arrival of television, directly leading to the development of the now-standard widescreen format, and, many claim, greatly helping the Americans win World War II.
		Cinerama is based on the principle of filling the viewer's entire field of vision, by projecting three parts of the same scene, filmed from slightly different angles, blended together as one image on a gargantuan curved screen.
		Cinerama Adventure charts the global Cinerama craze that ensued after the release of This is Cinerama, and the six other films made in the format (mostly travelogues like South Seas Adventure and Cinerama Holiday) through interviews and old clips.

		One lady said that her father was flying into town from the mid-West, not to see her, but to see "Cinerama!" I was still at the theater at 11:00 pm so I was not able to see or tape it.
		Cinerama had such an impact that "THIS IS CINERAMA" was the top grossing film released in 1952, although it played in fewer than 30 theaters.
		Cinerama was too technically challenging to last and just seven films were made in the three-strip format.

		Since Gedge spent the better part of two decades in a band that painted his diverse tastes into a corner musically, it's no surprise that his new work would be just as heartfelt and prolific as that of his former band.
		A fittingly titled group, Cinerama has indulged Gedge's love of film music from John Barry to blaxploitation, as well as the classic songwriting of Bacharach/David and the less dramatic sides of Scott Walker -- a comfy spot between twee and Tindersticks.
		On pace to rival the generally welcomed bin clogging of the Wedding Present, Cinerama released a clutch of multi-format singles in support of their debut LP, as well as a number of intervening releases prior to 2000's Steve Albini-recorded Disco Volante.

		Sound was controlled by the "Cinerama Engineer", who, based on cue sheets for the show, could throw a switch that put channel six on both walls and shifted channel seven to speakers in the rear of the theatre.
		Additionally, Cinerama was boosted by the typical fervor of Michael Todd, but Todd's fervor was subject to an apparent attention deficit problem and he moved on from project to project.

		The film, “This Is Cinerama,” begins with a rather monotonous explanation by journalist/world adventurer Lowell Thomas about the origins of film.
		Sensing that Cinerama’s legacy was in danger of being lost, he began to interview a number of people involved with making Cinerama films and re-constructed history in “Cinerama Adventure.” He’s included a number of clips from the era and clips from actual Cinerama films.
		This is the only way in which to see all three panels that Cinerama is famous for in a fashion that is reminiscent of the original curved screen experience.

	Splendid E-zine reviews: Cinerama
		This Is Cinerama, Cinerama's album of B-sides and two singles that were not released between Va-Va Voom and Disco Volante, is an excellent introduction if you haven't caught up with your CD-buying yet (I can't imagine why you wouldn't own some Cinerama otherwise), or if you're nuttier for Cinerama than your grandmama's fruitcake.
		The group's orchestral bias (aided by strings, flutes, french horns, trumpets, and clarinets) and cerebral lyrics are luxuries, pampering listeners bored by sub-par pop.
		Cinerama has lengthened the single to double its original time, setting Gedge and Sally Murrell's duet to heart-beat pacing.

		He’s proven, first with the Wedding Present and now as the leader of Cinerama, that his B-sides are more killer than filler.
		Cinerama Holiday amasses 14 tracks from the four EPs the British quintet released in conjunction with their sophisti-pop gem Disco Volante (Manifesto, 2000).
		So though Cinerama Holiday isn’t likely to gain him any new fans, it’s a completist’s dream, and it’s consistent enough to serve as an introduction to one of England’s finest songwriters.

	Cinerama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cinerama is the trademarked name for a widescreen process which works by simultaneously projecting images from three synchronized 35 mm projectors onto a huge, deeply-curved screen, subtending 146° of arc, and for the corporation which was formed to market it.
		Cinerama was introduced on 30 September 1952, at the Broadway Theatre in New York.
		Consequently, Cinerama discontinued the three film process, with the exception of a single theater showing at McVickers' Cinerama Theatre in Chicago, Illinois Cinerama's Russian Adventure, an American-Soviet co-production culled from footage of several Soviet films shot in the rival Soviet three-film format known as Kinopanorama in 1966.

		In 2002 after a two-year closure, the Cinerama Dome was reopened as a part of a 14-screen complex called ArcLight Cinemas, a division of Pacific Theatres.

		I'd actually been searching high and low for a copy of Cinerama's "Manhattan" single because it featured a cover of The Smith's "London" on the b-side, but I had no luck.
		The musical theory of making songs for a James Bond film that Gedge prides Cinerama's sound on isn't very apparent until the instrumental "Model Spy." Filled with wah-wah guitar, harpsichord and female vocal harmonies, the song transports you to bed on a yacht with mirrors on the ceiling.
		Again, this may be just a ploy for fans to purchase anything with the Cinerama name on it, but it actually serves much better as a stop-gap, to fill in the holes your Cinerama catalog may be suffering from.
