Hollywood started to fight back doing things that couldn’t be duplicated on the small screen by launching new filming techniques.
The most profound process was Cinerama which was introduced in 1953 with a huge curved screen and brand new “stereophonic” sound.
Then came 3D Natural Vision and shortly thereafter wide screen CinemaScope and CinemaScope 55. VistaVision took a different tack and master showman Mike Todd came up with wide screen Todd-AO.
The presentation will cover how each process worked, benefits and pitfalls if each, and their impact on today’s theater productions. There will be visual examples of each.
