SENSURROUND. |
…in Sensurround - A new dimension to the motion picture By Thomas Hauerslev Sometimes you see a film which leaves an impression which will be remembered for many years. In 1980 I saw the movie “Earthquake”, presented in Sensurround and I have never forgotten it. |
…in Sensurround, Eine neue Dimension für den Film Von Thomas Hauerslev Manchmal sieht man einen Film der einen so starken Eindruck hinterlässt, dass man ihn für viele Jahre nicht vergessen kann. 1980 sah ich den Film ”Erdbeben” in Sensurround, was ich bis heute nicht vergessen habe. |
Introduction to Sensurround The Sensurround Model II system developed by MCA Universal brings a new dimension to the motion picture theatre. It is designed to generate special audible and sub audible effects not yet possible to reproduce on presently available systems. |
About Sensurround Universal Studios felt for many years that in order to attract large audiences into the theatres to see feature films, the viewing audience would have to be offered some sort of "event" that would not be accessible to them on the home television screen. |
Sensurround Horror Stories
From film-tech.com When The Branmar Theater in Wilmington, DE, which had shown all the Sensurround films closed in the late 80's, you could still see the cracks in the ceiling from the process! |

EARTHQUAKE IN
BRADFORD |
Recreating Sensurround By Darren Briggs We first brought "Earthquake" back in November 2003 at City Screen York. We were asked by Bill Lawrence to bring the re-creation to the Widescreen Weekend. |
Presenting "Earthquake" in Bradford Darren Briggs At 8am we turned up to test the new final position of the subs on the stage front, and although the effect wasn’t quite as good as the original tested position, they still gave you a good effect |

REMEMBERING
SENSURROUND |
How Sensurround put me through College By Greg Battas I was in college in the mid 80's and I heard that Universal was trying to get rid of their old Sensurround equipment. |

REMEMBERING
SENSURROUND |
"It
was in February of 1979 during a screening of "SUPERMAN THE MOVIE",
playing on it's initial theatrical run at the ABC New Street in
Birmingham, UK that I first became aware of "BATTLESTAR GALACTICA"
and it's imminent screening in Sensurround. The adverts and trailers had
passed and I can distinctly remember a roll-up narrated by Lorne Greene
describing the imminent experience of watching "BATTLESTAR GALACTICA"
in Sensurround with accompanying text. (It might be worth looking into
whether the distributor still has that somewhere in an archive). The
film started and Stu Phillips great score greeted the audience. Audio
wise, the mix was pretty impressive for it's time, particularly during
the Cylon attack on the Battlestar fleet, the attack on Caprica and the
Nova of Madagon sequences. John

THE LOST
SENSURROUND FILM |
The last film in 70mm and Sensurround Plus By Brad Adams I thought the movie was filmed well and there sure was some jazzy numbers, but as far as the Sunsurround, I felt heavy deep bass during most of the musical numbers, thus, the "+ Plus" in Sunsurround
