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 Deeply curved screen for the Cinerama widescreen process. Images are projected from three separate 35mm film projectors to different parts of the screen where they formed a single image. Anamorphic lenses were not used unlike later processes (e.g. single camera 70mm Cinemascope). The process required three cameras as well and only a handful of films were made. Cinerama was one of many innovations in the 1950s to combat the rise of television viewing. Prior to the various wide-screen formats introduced in this era movies were filmed in 4:3 (also.used on old non-widescreen televisions) and the marginally wider Academy/1:1.375 aspect ratio This screen is at the Science and Media Museum in Bradford where Europe's only public Cinerama screen and projection facilities exist. I think the film I am watching here (South Seas Adventure) was digitally projected, but the Media Museum does retain physical film projectors which they use occasionally to show old Cinerama prints.
