  • CINERAMA: the First Really Big Show
    CCINEN RRAMAM : The First Really Big Show DIVING HEAD FIRST INTO THE 1950s:: AN OVERVIEW by Nick Zegarac Above left: eager audience line ups like this one for the “Seven Wonders of the World” debut at the Cinerama Theater in New York were short lived by the end of the 1950s. All in all, only seven feature films were actually produced in 3-strip Cinerama, though scores more were advertised as being shot in the process. Above right: corrected three frame reproduction of the Cypress Water Skiers in ‘This is Cinerama’. Left: Fred Waller, Cinerama’s chief architect. Below: Lowell Thomas; “ladies and gentlemen, this is Cinerama!” Arguably, Cinerama was the most engaging widescreen presentation format put forth during the 1950s. From a visual standpoint it was the most enveloping. The cumbersome three camera set up and three projector system had been conceptualized, designed and patented by Fred Waller and his associates at Paramount as early as the 1930s. However, Hollywood was not quite ready, and certainly not eager, to “revolutionize” motion picture projection during the financially strapped depression and war years…and who could blame them? The standardized 1:33:1(almost square) aspect ratio had sufficed since the invention of 35mm celluloid film stock. Even more to the point, the studios saw little reason to invest heavily in yet another technology. The induction of sound recording in 1929 and mounting costs for producing films in the newly patented 3-strip Technicolor process had both proved expensive and crippling adjuncts to the fluidity that silent B&W nitrate filming had perfected.

    MARK FREEMAN Encyclopedia of Science, Technology and Society http://www.factsonfile.com/newfacts/FactsDetail.asp?PageValue=B ooks&SIDText=0816031231&LeftID=0 WIDESCREEN The scale of motion picture projection depends upon the inter- relationship of several factors: the size and aspect ratio of the screen; the gauge of the film; the type of lenses used for filming and projection; and the number of synchronized projectors used. These choices are in turn determined by engineering, marketing and aesthetic considerations. Aspect ratio is the width of the screen divided by the height. The classic standard aspect ratio was expressed as 1.33:1. Today most movies are screened as 1.85:1 or 2.35:1 (widescreen). Films shot in these ratios are cropped for television, which retains the classic ratio of 1.33:1. This cropping is accomplished either by removing a third of the image at the sides of the frame, or by "panning and scanning." In this process a technician determines which portion of a given frame should be included. "Letterboxing" creates a band of black above and below the televised film image. This allows the composition as originally photographed to be screened in video. The larger the film negative, the more resolution. Large film gauges allow greater resolution over a given size of projected image. In the 1890's film sizes varied from 12mm to as many as 80mm, before accepting Edison's 35mm standard. Today films continue to be screened in a variety of guages including Super 8mm, 16mm and Super 16mm, 35mm, 70mm and IMAX. Cinema and the fairground share a common history in the search for technologically based spectacles and attractions.

  • Cinerama to Digital Cinema: from the Zenith to the Decline Written by Enric Mas ( ) January 11, 2016
    Enric Mas nitsenblanc.cat Cinerama to digital cinema: from the zenith to the decline Written by Enric Mas ( http://nitsenblanc.cat ) January 11, 2016 I try to imagine what the audience felt when they first saw a movie in Cinerama... but I cannot. I wonder, did they feel the same as I did when I saw a projection in 70 mm IMAX for the first time? Some clues tell me the answer is no. Howard Rust, of the International Cinerama Society, gave me an initial clue: “I was talking to a chap the other day who’d just been to see IMAX. ‘Sensational’, he said. ‘But, you know… it still doesn’t give you the same pins and needles up and down the back of your spin that Cinerama does’ ”. 1 What is its secret? Why is every film seen in Cinerama a unique event that is remembered for decades? We have another clue in a man who had worked with D.W. Griffith in That Royle Girl (1925), who produced and directed technically innovative short films, where black performers appeared, a rarity at the time, including the first appearance of Billie Holiday (Symphony in Black: A Rhapsody of Negro Life , 1935). He created a new imaging system (Vitarama) for the World’s Fair in New York (1939), joining 11 projectors of 16 mm, which reached a vertical image of 75 degrees high and 130 degrees wide, 2,3 developments which led to the most advanced artillery simulator in the world, which was used to train future aircraft gunners in World War II.

  • Film Essay for "This Is Cinerama"
    This Is Cinerama By Kyle Westphal “The pictures you are now going to see have no plot. They have no stars. This is not a stage play, nor is it a feature picture not a travelogue nor a symphonic concert or an opera—but it is a combination of all of them.” So intones Lowell Thomas before introduc- ing America to a ‘major event in the history of entertainment’ in the eponymous “This Is Cinerama.” Let’s be clear: this is a hyperbol- ic film, striving for the awe and majesty of a baseball game, a fireworks show, and the virgin birth all rolled into one, delivered with Cinerama gave audiences the feeling they were riding the roller coaster the insistent hectoring of a hypnotically ef- at Rockaway’s Playland.

  • Lowell Thomas Jr., 1923
    AAC Publications Lowell Thomas Jr., 1923 – 2016 Lowell Thomas Jr., an Honorary Lifetime Member of the Mountaineering Club of Alaska and longtime AAC member, passed away in Anchorage on October 1. His long life was filled with extraordinary adventures and accomplishments. He was born in London, England, where his father, world-renowned journalist Lowell Thomas, was embarking on his career as a war correspondent. Lowell Jr. grew up in New York State and graduated from Dartmouth College, where he was a member of the ski team. In World War II he was a fighter-pilot flight instructor in the Army Air Corps, and flying came to play a central role in the rest of his life. Lowell made his first trip to Alaska in 1940, as a teenager, when he was part of the team led by Bradford Washburn that made the first ascent of Mt. Bertha (10,182’) in the Fairweather Range. Lowell and his father traveled and filmed in pre-communist Tibet in 1949, and were perhaps the last Westerners to meet the teen-age Dalai Lama before the Chinese invasion and the religious leader’s exile to India. Lowell wrote a bestselling book, Out Of This World, and later produced a movie by the same name, in order to raise awareness of the Tibetan people and culture. In 1954 and 1955, Lowell and his wife, Tay, flew their Cessna 180, “Charlie,” around the world, from France to Morocco, across Africa, and into the Middle East and Afghanistan, where a visit by private single-engine aircraft was nearly unheard of.

The first truly international fair mounted in the post-independence Arab world, the Damascus International Exposition was conceived under the regime of Syria’s recently deposed military dictator Adib al-Shishakli as one of many projects to increase trade, stimulate capital investment, and raise Syria’s “international profile.”1 Given the historical moment at which the exposition occurred and the number and diversity of states formally participating in the event, it inevitably became the site of “visual and discursive ...contests” between geopolitical antagonists, “rival claimants” for anti-Zionist leadership, and proponents of competing blocs of states in the region and beyond.2 The exposition took place 1.

  • Hollywood and the Dawn of Television 1
    Foster_ch01_001-010.qxd 1/28/10 1:33 PM Page 1 Hollywood and the Dawn of Television 1 INVENTING TELEVISION Scientists began experimenting with a form of mechanical image scanning in the first years of the twentieth century. By the twenties the term television was being applied to these inventions. No doubt the fledgling movie industry was giving some impetus to this endeavor. Early in the decade two very different inventors began to make major breakthroughs in the development of electronic image scanning, Philo T. Farnsworth and Vladimir Zworykin. Farnsworth was a farm boy from Utah who had won his high school science fair with a diagram for an instrument he called an image dissector. Due to his father’s early demise, Farnsworth was not able to complete his college studies. He was able to interest a few financial backers in supporting his research and opened a small labora- tory in San Francisco in 1926. The following year he applied for a patent for his inven- tion of a primitive television picture tube. Zworykin was an important member of the Russian scientific community when the revolution broke out in 1917. He managed to escape to Paris and, in 1919, settled in Pittsburgh to work in the Westinghouse research laboratories. He was fascinated by the possibilities of television and worked after hours on his own experiments with electronic image scanning. By 1923 Zworykin’s work was sufficiently advanced that he applied for a patent for a camera tube device he called the iconoscope. Westinghouse was not enthused about his work because television was not one of the company’s research priorities but Zworykin continued to labor late into the night after completing his workday for the corporation.
