Showscan: The Best 70mm I have ever seen

The Impact of Showscan - Experienced by in70mm.com readers
The lights went down and the movie began. My reaction was that my jaw dropped to the floor due to the incredible picture sharpness and "you are there" effect.

Douglas Trumbull - A Conversation
By Wolfram Hannemann

I’m absolutely confident that the digital image has caught up with film in terms of frame rate, resolution, steadiness, brightness and colour saturation. I’ve gone totally digital; I’m not interested in film at all.
High impact immersive widescreen filmmaking with Douglas Trumbull
Interviewed by Tony Earnshaw
I have discovered that if you embrace digital technology from a new perspective and you say, ‘Let’s just get rid of all the historical artefacts and beliefs of what an image is or what it should look like and start over and do it all digitally and take advantage of high resolution cameras that are available and that very people use, the high resolutions projectors that are available that very people use and take advantage of the fact that the digital projectors that are in tens of thousands of movie theatres can run at 144fps and no one’s using it.

The Gordon E. Sawyer Award goes to Douglas Trumbull, for his lifetime of technical contributions and leadership in the motion picture

MAGI CINEMA
Ladies and Gentlemen, This is MAGI Cinema
By Thomas Hauerslev
MAGI is very high frame rate, five times faster than usual, 4K image resolution and 3D. Films presented in MAGI is referred to, by people whop have seen demonstrations, as being hyper-realistic, far brighter (up to 28 foot lamberts), sharper than anything seen previously, and in particular far better that any current 3D techniques. The screen simply disappears between the viewer and the action on the curved screen.
