The SMPTE/New England Section is extremely
pleased to bring you this special Saturday morning technical
presentation and film screening at the new Jordan's Furniture
Comcast IMAX 3-D Theater in Reading, MA. Members of the BAS,
AES, guests and friends are invited. There is a $10 fee which
must be mailed in by September 9th.
This is a fantastic opportunity to experience
IMAX technology at its best. Not only will you learn about
the history and technology behind the company synonymous with
the large screen experience but, you'll actually get to see
the very latest IMAX creation produced utilizing many of the
technologies discussed during the technical presentation.
The IMAX film will be the new "Walking
on the Moon 3D" feature. Further information about this
film can found here: http://www.imax.com/magnificentdesolation/
Brian will begin his presentation by
taking us back in time to how IMAX began more than 30 years
ago and finish with their most recent achievements--from the
first IMAX® projector made with the help of a miniature
bicycle chain to a later prototype built by Ron Jones and
made to work at 18 frames/sec using a vacuum cleaner and an
orange juice can, to IMAX's current technical achievements
and introduction of IMAX® MPX, a new, lower cost projection
system that can easily be retrofitted into an existing multiplex
setting.
You'll also learn about the revolutionary
IMAX DMR® digital remastering software, which allows movie-goers
to experience the larger-than-life adventure, drama and emotion
of their favorite Hollywood films in IMAX theatres. To date,
these films include Apollo 13, Star Wars: Episode II Attack
of the Clones, The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions,
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Spider-Man 2.
Attendees to this special SMPTE/New England
event will need to purchase a ticket in advance. The cost
per person for admission and all the coffee, juice, pastry,
and donuts you can eat is our everyday low, low price of ten
dollars ($10.00).
