Movie Talk on Sunday
 |
| Viewers may experience feelings of Atomonesia! |
Let's talk about the best and worst movements in technology throughout cinema history, and the present state of things. Are we going down the right road at the moment with IMAX, CGI and Higher Frame Rates? Are there any pieces of technological history, like stop motion, glorious Technicolor or model work that you miss or are there pieces like Cinerama that you feel have passed us by that you think warrants another look? What about audience experience and how that's changing? Are we going dangerously close to William Castle with D-Boxes and the 4D experience?
Starting at 20:00 (GMT) on Sunday 30th March 2014, I'll ask one question every 10 minutes. To answer, make sure you include the question number and the #MTOS hashtag in your tweets. That way we can keep track of who says what, making discussion easier. For example:
"#MTOS A1. There is no better resolution than on paper film. There just isn't!
The questions are below.
