large screens with amazing clarity and realism, resulting in a viewer<br />
experience that far exceeds conventional movie quality. I wrote and<br />
directed UFOTOG in order to explore the many issues that emerge when<br />
shooting and projecting at five times the normal frame rate of 24, while<br />
capturing and showing imagery at four times the convention of 2K resolution.<br />
We project using a state-of-the-art Christie Mirage 4K projector<br />
… The result is an immersivness that cannot be described in words.”<br />
On the use of Magi to photograph and exhibit alternative content,<br />
Trumball says: “I cannot wait to photograph a big rock star from two feet<br />
away singing to me. I just think it will be a gas. That’s one of the next<br />
things I want to try to do, because I have all sorts of ideas about extreme<br />
sports, underwater, skydiving, spelunking, outer space … dance is very<br />
high on my agenda.”<br />
The reaction by the packed house was immensely enthusiastic—quite<br />
different than the reaction to The Hobbit at 2012’s CinemaCon, which<br />
left exhibitors somewhat cold and confused.<br />
If Avatar 2 were to be shot and exhibited using Trumbull’s Magi<br />
technology, the experience would likely be, as Cameron might say, out of<br />
this world.<br />
A Christie Mirage 4K35 was<br />

Douglas Trumbull has been nominated<br />
for three Academy Awards<br />
(Close Encounters of the Third Kind,<br />
Blade Runner, Star Trek: The Motion<br />
Picture) and was the recipient of the<br />
Academy’s Gordon E. Sawyer Award<br />
in 2011, given each year to “an individual<br />
in the motion picture industry<br />
whose technological contributions<br />
have brought credit to the industry.” A<br />
pioneer in high-frame-rate motion picture<br />
photography, Trumbull is the holder<br />
of nearly two dozen patents including<br />
Showscan, for which he won a special<br />
Oscar for technical achievement. More<br />
recently, Trumbull served as visual effects<br />
consultant for Terrence Malick’s The Tree<br />
of Life (2011).<br />
