Upping the Experience: The Skinny on IMAX
IMAX is incorporating more and more entertainment only fare to their distribution slate. Not only are the results good for their bottom line but also for adding even more "event" to already special films.

Imax May Be The Greatest Film Delivery System Ever Developed, But Will It Prosper?

"The Sorcerer’s Apprentice": the only segment found in both the original Fantasia and Disney’s Fantasia/2000. © The Walt Disney Co. All rights reserved.

Imax and Omnimax (the latter presents films on a giant curved ceiling) are probably the most impressive film delivery systems ever developed. Seeing remarkably sharp and extremely bright 80-foot high images and hearing an exceptional sound system is a commanding experience. The 70mm Imax prints stay free of dust and scratches as the film moves through the projector on cushions of air instead of on rollers. The theaters are lofty spaces with stadium seating and large comfortable chairs.

Inside CyberWorld 3D
 The biggest animated movie of the year may be one few people know about - CyberWorld 3D. Hitting IMAX theaters nationwide on October 6, 2000, CyberWorld 3D brings several animated shorts to life in one big celebration. Like Fantasia and Fantasia 2000, CyberWorld 3D is a gathering of many short animated selections, original and previously viewed, tied together by an animated narrator named Phig (voiced by Jenna Elfman).

The Making of Pandorama
For most of my adult life, I've plied my trade as a newspaper cartoonist. After 7 years of self-syndicating a weekly comic strip called Nina's Adventures, I signed on with Universal Press Syndicate to write and draw a daily, Fluff. Cartooning had been my lifelong passion, but the rigorous schedule of producing a daily feature turned it into a monotonous job. I grew artistically impoverished and desperate to explore a new medium.

Making More Out of Stop Motion on Giant Screen
When I embarked on my new film More, I approached it from a very basic and unassuming angle: I wanted to tell a story. What ultimately made this film a different type of journey to embark upon, was that we were breaking ground by telling a stop motion story on the Giant Screen, 70mm/15perf, or IMAX format as it commonly known, for the first time.

Dig This! Humongous Cartoons with a Little Technology

IMAX, a major player in the world of large-format films and theaters, is now trying to make headway in the animation world with a precedent setting new technology that truly integrates human interaction with technology. The innovative break-through in question is called SANDDE (Stereo Animation Drawing Device) -- a revolutionary new large-format 3D animation system that lets animators draw and animate in space instead of on paper or a computer. The three-dimensional stereoscopic films created with SANDDE allow artists to emphasize size relationships and create actions that move toward and away from the audience creating a grand effect when viewed on IMAX 3D screens that are upwards of three stories tall.

IMAX Makes a Big Move on the Mainstream 

Three-dimensional film has long provided a home for creepy-crawly special effects and sci-fi extravaganzas. But IMAX wants you to forget Creature from the Black Lagoon and those paper shades and think Beauty and the Beast instead. IMAX is hoping that Hollywood's animators will turn their children's hits into 3-D films for the really big screen.
