Join me on my merry trek of old ruins, cinemas, railways and things that just catch my attention around Yorkshire and the UK. John.
View this post on Instagram I watched How the West Was Won (1962) today shown using the original three-strip Cinerama system. Cinerama used three 35mm cameras mounted side-by-side to film (hence the joins) and three projectors to display the movie on a heavily curved screen (146°). This was the last movie filmed with the orginal cumbersome and expensive format, although further 'Cinerama' movies were made and shown into the early '70s but they were filmed and projected using simpler single 70mm camera and projector systems using anamorphic lenses. There are only a handful of cinemas remaining in the world which can show three panel Cinerama films. A post shared by John | Exploration and history (@merrytrek) on Oct 13, 2018 at 11:27am PDT
