![]() Students use many 21st century skills creating a multimedia presentation for digital storytelling. Members of the Teacher’s Toolbox program have access to hundreds of additional designs and music options, along with a newsletter offering ideas for the classroom. The application is designed primarily for personal use, but has many possibilities for school projects, especially in the form of digital storytelling.įull-time teachers can apply for a free annual subscription to the premium service (a $39.99 value). Finished projects can be emailed, sent to a blog, burned to a DVD or printed.Ī premium subscription is also available and grants access to additional designs and music selections, along with other benefits. Design types include scrapbooks, slideshows, Ecards, photo albums, postcards, recipes and invitations. I personally would love to see large film formats made available in the SmileBox process.Smilebox is a free software download that lets you upload photographs, music and video clips to create multimedia projects. Some theaters with very large screens still use slightly curved screens to this day. Early CinemaScope used a slightly curved screen to correct distortion at the sides of the picture. Cinerama and Todd-Ao were not the only ones to use a curved screen. You can go to and see videos of such installations. A home theater with a curved screen and a projection system to match will cost plenty. Again I will state that most people do not care about "Breathtaking CinemaScope, glorious technicolor and stereophonic sound". For the average schlub like myself we are at the mercy of what AND how a distribution company want us to view films. For those with deep pockets they can get such bells and whistles. If you have the money you can get a slightly curved wide screen installed in your home.

I also saw a 70mm Todd-Ao presentation of Hello Dolly on the same screen and it too looked good. I have seen a 70mm blowup of Fiddler On The Roof presented in Cinerama on the Cinerama looked pretty good. One film historian noted that a Cinerama theater could in fact present a 70mm film "in Cinerama" provided they pay a fee to Cinerama to present it as such. Another example of a 70mm "Cinerama" presentation was when a local Cinema that had been equipped to show 70mm Cinerama films had a brief showing of Around the World In Eighty Days and presented it in Cinerama although it was in truth filmed in Todd-Ao. My feeling is that why not recreate the effect intended when they were first released as "Cinerama" films to theaters showing 70mm Cinerama films. I thought that the effect was very good even though these films were not "true" Cinerama presentations. ![]() ![]() They used It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World and 2001 A Space Odyssey as examples. ![]() In the Cinerama Adventure documentary SmileBox curved screen simulation was used to demonstrate what the 70mm "Cinerama" films looked like. To demonstrate the effect the SmileBox simulated curved screen was employed to recreate what the audiences saw. ![]() They used a 120 degree "bug-eye" lens for wide shots but only sparingly in the first Todd-Ao presentation. I watched a documentary about the filming of Oklahoma in Todd-Ao which was initially created as "Cinerama out of one hole". ![]()
