I founded and sold a beauty boxes subscription startup and later served as Chief Revenue Officer at MyHeritage when we built the DNA product, which was the biggest effort of the company. I started my career at 888, an online gaming platform where I created a product called 888games. Most of my roles were around product development and marketing. For the past 15 years, I’ve been doing business in different positions for internet companies. Please describe your background as well as the story behind the company: What sparked the idea, and how has it evolved so far? I am in love with online products. In this interview, Smilebox General Manager Dan Mano explains what Smilebox is all about, and reveals some exciting new features for SMB’s. This release should be the most accurate presentation of the film possible outside of the few remaining Cinerama cinemas.Smilebox is an online platform that lets you create beautifully animated greeting cards, invitations, and slideshows with just a few clicks of a button.

There is no way to accurately print the three strips 'flat' without getting major distortion as you move to the edges of the side strips. It's really too bad, as it was a fantastic system - but all widescreen movies since then owe a tremendous debt to the system.Īlso, for those complaining about 'SmileBox,' you have to think of it as OAR for 3-camera Cinerama productions. So, they took off, and 3-camera Cinerama never did. Paramount recommended VistaVision be projected at 1.85:1, making for far less expensive theatrical installations.īoth systems were far cheaper and easier to work with than 3-camera Cinerama (both for studios and theatres), and didn't have the distortion issues that Cinerama inherently had. That shrunk to 2:35:1 within a few years as theatres demanded mono soundtracks be added in addition to the four channel magnetic audio tracks.

At the time, CinemaScope was a full 2.66:1 process, meaning ultrawide screens had to be installed in theatres. Paramount created VistaVision a year later, trying to make a standard that wouldn't require major alterations to existing theatres. Fox got there first and secured the rights. Both suddenly saw huge potential in widescreen and sent reps to France to meet with the designer of the anamorphic lenses. The original anamorphic lenses Fox bought to 'create' CinemaScope were developed in the late 1920s, but no studio had any interest until representatives from Fox and Warner Brothers saw an exhibition of Cinerama in New York. Just a minor correction - VistaVision was Paramount. Here are links with information about the documentary and the Smilebox process. This should be a real treat since it is probably the nearest thing to having a Cinerama setup in your house (which someone did BTW!) Thank you Warners!!! Warners has included both the documentary and also a version of HTWWW using Smilebox. It is featured in a documentary called Cinerama Adventure which has been around since 2002 but rarely seen due to rights issues. It creates a flat version of what you would see if you had a heavily curved 146-degree screen. Efforts to flatten it out result in huge optical distortion on the two side panels since you are flattening something that was shot 'curved'. HTThe aspect ratio is, formally, over 3:1, but since it is shown on a heavily curved screen, it is actually less from the audience's perspective. See this at the Seattle Cinerama Theatre (best) or the Hollywood Cinerama Dome (good but compromised.Īnyway, there is a huge problem in converting Cinerama to other formats. All improvements to film and video for the last 56 years have been an effort to replicate Cinerama. There was also an interlock mag film for 7-track stereophonic sound.

Let me try to provide some more background here.Īs the diagram above shows, Cinerama was shot with 3 panels of 35mm film (6 perfs instead of 4 so each is taller than normal film) and displayed with 3 projectors.
