Thank you so much Denise!! 🙏🎭🍿

😮 thanks Mizzes B3ST!! You and Oso are wonderful. So cool to have now connected!! Can't wait to send you my next release. 🎉🎶🎤

Hahaha! I'm so happy you've stuck with it. I just replied to your other comment, as I don't use discord anymore. Thanks Aria!!

@@MrKylePopovich you asked me to finish the game so... I just have to do it. And thats it :). We are working on it

Woah! Haha thanks Kirk! I should have uploaded this to shorts maybe? This vertical video as a main video doesn't work, I don't think. But you commented now, so let's celebrate that, wooo 🎉🥂 cheers to Kirk! Woooooo, let's GOOOO! 🎬😅🙌🎊

I'm very envious of the fact that you seen this film way back then it must've been quite an experience!

Thank you for sharing this. Bless you!

​@@ariatari2137 of course you can!! Just credit my RUclips channel, @MrKylePopovich, and sorry for the no reply, I don't get RUclips notifications for some reason. You are great for being here and watching, thanks so much!!!

Also, I don't use discord anymore since my last game stream a few months ago. Sorry about that again!

You're welcome. Thank you for the words and stopping by to comment! The whole movie is gorgeous and I hope it will make a theatrical re-release run again one day and we can all truly go back in time!

The Widescreen Museum states: the full 2.76:1 70mm aspect ratio. Ben-Hur's spectacular photography was matched with its extremely vivid 6 channel stereophonic sound. For practical reasons, the film was shown with an aspect ratio of about 2.5:1 in most roadshow houses. So I don't think you saw it in there screens, BUT you might have saw it on large curved screen, and with the 2.5:1 aspect it would certainly have felt like a Cinerama presentation. You would know for sure if you saw a Cinerama presentation. But the Ben Hur in theatres would have been far more impressive a film than how the west was one (aside from the native horseback scenes, nearing to the chariot race in complexity). Hope this helps!

​It was 70mm, and Quentin Tarantino found and used that very same camera (Panovision) to film The Hateful 8.

Ben Hur came out before Cinerama

Well said! My Ukranian Grandmother (Baba) says good movies need heart / drama!

You actually got it! Holy smokes! *SPOILERS* But yes! If we made this into a feature length movie, you'd learn more about the villain of this story.... The EX. 😱🫣🔪

@@MrKylePopovich that makes so much sense since the stalker was just watching him watch TV 😱

I got to see a restored version of this trailer in 2010 on the Cinerama screen in Bradford, England. It was something that I'll always treasure. Unfortunately, my time there was about a month before their next screening of this.

Yes I have seen this in three panel Cinerama it was mind blowing

Pretty good!

🔫🤖Double Rad!

Today it should be even less complicated if they shoot it digitally and syncing each camera and also being able to MOVE the cameras and not having to rely on tripod mounds due to the complicated nature of rigging 3 Filmcameras together to maintain the proper perspective.

In short, they *can't* make them like this anymore.

It truly is breath-taking! I would love to hear you talk about that experience. Put up a vlog on your RUclips, I know plenty of people that would be interested in that story. I love scope, and super happy to find another like-minded person! Thanks for stopping by and for the kindness. All the best for now! Will be looking for that vlog!

Don't think I'll be vlogging about films just yet -- I'm writing a book. But I can say this: HTWWW includes many shots originally taken in Ultra-Panavision -- the single-camera 2.8-something-to-1 system invented for "Raintree County." In fact, some shots are straight-out lifted from Raintree. When projected in actual Cinerama, these shots really stick out due to the grain. More importantly, they are also the only shots without Cinerama's usual fish-eye focal length. Thus, they look somehow "flatter" and less immersive compared to the shots taken with three cameras. Although there is definitely something special about watching an actual Cinerama film on a louvered semi-circular screen (from the third row!), in some ways I prefer the newly-available digital reconstructions of CInerama to the thing-in-itself. To understand why, just look at that shot of logs rolling down a ramp into the river. It's in the HTWWW trailer. In Cinerama, that shot looks AWFUL. The three screens just don't match up; the distortion is ugly. The same shot looked particularly terrible in the Panavision reduction prints made in the '60s. But in the digital version now available, the problem is pretty much solved. Digital is magic. Incidentally, my old friend Kurt Wahlner worked on "The Last Days of Cinerama," which I'm sure will be the final movie shot in the process. I haven't spoken with him about it, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the Cinerama shots taken inside the Cinerama Dome theater were his idea. That's the kind of goofy notion he always liked. They say that HTWWW was the better of the two narrative Cinerama films. I wouldn't know; I've yet to see the Brothers Grimm movie. But the sad truth is that HTWWW, though it looks magnificent, falls into the "good but not great" category. The early sequences are more compelling than the later ones. The weakest sequence, sorry to say, is the one directed by John Ford -- it's nothing but talk, Henry Morgan is miscast, and John Wayne isn't at his best.

Can't wait to read your book! And thanks for noting the Ultra Panavision, I was wondering how they accomplished those flatter shots and VFX comps on the water sequences. Very interesting how I'm sure any difference in ground shift would ruin the whole shot, so a floating raft would be a no go. But the front facing shots "lifted" from Raintree look great! So they must have had some sort of tight rig? I'm happy you like this restoration, this is really what digital magic should be used for. Thanks for agreeing, but also I do envy your Cinerama experience, ha! Thanks so much for sharing. Very interested in The Last Days, never heard of that! Your friend sounds like good people. And yes, the cannon sequence and dance sequences are the only good Ford shots, and the rest I was very confused/didn't feel like Ford.

"most shots look like they were taken with a single camera" : because they were

@@hothemeep1219 Only a small-ish percentage of the shots were single-camera Ultra-Panavision. They stand out pretty clearly when you see the film projected. The grain is different and the lenses are different.

I know?! How did this ever come to be?! What a gem. Thanks for stopping by!
