By Tina Paas 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. http://mag.awn.com/index.php3?ltype=pageone&article_no=1588 |

December 2002by Karl Cohen ANIMATION WORLD MAGAZINE - ISSUE 5.9 - DECEMBER 2000Imax May Be The Greatest Film Delivery System Ever Developed, But Will It Prosper?
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.

By Joe Tracy 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). http://www.animationartist.com/InsideAnimation/CyberWorld.html |

by Nina Paley from Maximage!Magazine, 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. http://www.ninapaley.com/pandorama-maximage.html |

By Mark Osborne 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. http://www.awn.com/mag/issue3.11/3.11pages/osbornemore.php |

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.

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.
