Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth examination of technical developments and innovations in the film industry during 1952, a year that the author describes as a "wonder year for progress". At the time of this book's publication, the author was the supervisor of projection at M-G-M studios, and thus had an inside view of upcoming technical advancements. Some of these advancements had already reached the public, like the premiere of Bwana Devil, a movie filmed with the new three-dimensional system "Natural Vision" that required viewers to wear special glasses. The author goes into extensive detail about the technical specifications of Natural Vision, including how the film was shot and projected, and the electrical systems used to keep the two projectors perfectly synchronized. Other advancements were only in their testing phase in 1952, and the author discusses these as well, including Eidophor, Cinerama, and the use of magnetic soundtracks. These technologies were still many years away from widespread use, but the author provides a glimpse into the future of the film industry and shows how these technologies would change the way movies were made and experienced. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
