Splice Here: A Projected Odyssey

Excellent movie, I learned so much about film and projection from this in both historic and modern contexts. Particularly, all the different projection methods that are so often mentioned in rye opening credits of old movies.

The story of the movie flows really well through a number of topics and the time flew by. An epic effort to put this film together over so many years (it shows with how much is covered in the film) and it's thanks to things like this and Tarantino's Hateful 8 that I got interested and informed about the world of analogue film projection.

I really recommend this to anyone with even a casual interest in film, projection or cinema history. Thanks to the creators for making this film!

You can tell this feature documentary was created by a team of movie lovers Douglas Trumbull (2001: a space odyssey), Leonard Maltin (essential book author and film historian), Quentin Tarantino (game changing write, director), Rob Murphy star and director of this film. I especially like all the information about CINERAMA and that amazing process using a three-eyed camera to capture a 55 by 146 degree view (the same as the back of the human eyeball) and utilizing seven separate channel magnetic full coat, full range stereo sound both in 1952 before CinemaScope, VistaVision, NaturalVision 3-D, and decades before IMAX.

We get to go into the projection booths with people who, it seems, lived in them for most of their careers because they loved their jobs, films and wanted it done right. The were there when things went wrong and they fixed it... they were not busy elsewhere popping corn!

Highly Recommended.
