Re: Remember Cinerama?

Yes, I remember Cinerama. They used 3 cameras /projectors to film /project the image. It was quite an experience, especially for its time (early 60's). I saw 'The wonderful world of the brothers Grimm', 'How the west was won', '7 wonders of the world', 'Its a Mad,Mad,Mad World' and my favorite 'Grand Prix' in Cinerama. The extremely wide screen gave you peripheral vision, and was the first film to give you the feeling (at least visually) of being there. IMax does a similar thing today, although they use a single camera and projector.
