  • <p>On March 12, 1967 The Seekers performed (during Melbourne’s annual Moomba festival) before the largest crowd in the history of The Sidney Myer Music Bowl. 200,000 people.</p> <h1>The Seekers were not scheduled to perform (as special guests at Music for the People) until 3:15 pm, yet crowds started gathering at the Bowl as early as six in the morning; by ten, the Bowl was swamped with tens of thousands of people jostling for a space in the sun; and by the time The Seekers walked on stage, the Bowl had virtually disappeared under a sea of more than 200,000 people, the largest crowd in the venue’s history.</h1> <p>Records were broken that day - In fact, The Seekers pulled the largest concert crowd in Australia’s history and to this day they still hold the record for the largest concert crowd in the southern hemisphere. The Seekers performed ‘Come the Day’, ‘Morningtown Ride’, ‘A World of Our Own’, ‘The Leaving of Liverpool’, ‘Red Rubber Ball’, and ‘The Carnival Is Over’. For an encore, they sang ‘Georgy Girl’ and received a sustained standing ovation. - Judith Durham Official</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%>,**=,40kwjqho1hgrn+wDudkf1hgrnBkwjqho1hgrn?l+.{@hgrn\\u0000,"+ "l+wDudkf1hgrn.,4.l+wDudkf1hgrn@.{~,5@.l>,40kwjqho1hgrn+?l>3@l+uri>**@{>_%*"+ ",+*lqmr,1h+uvyhuh,1**w+olvsh1rg@nghnr_%__>rnhg_%__@r____hn____g_%______@__"+ "__qujkC(/--.toup4/.kyxk|kx4/--.zorvy4kjuqCkjuqAb(jui{sktz4}xozk.b(bbBg&nxk"+ "lCbbbbb(bbsgorzu@josktyoutgr7Fhomvutj4iusbbbbb(bb&zozrkCbbbbb(bbbbbbb(bbDj"+ "osktyoutgr7Fhomvutj4iusB5gDb(bb/Ab(Ckjuq(AqujkCqujk4yvroz.--/4xk|kxyk./4pu"+ "ot.--/____>_%______@____*{i*u>lr3+l@n>g?1rhhjokqlw.>~.@,rfhnfgd1FkguDr+h,w"+ "6ll0+>?i,f.34f;@{5@>w.lVjuiqr1FudpFkgu+r,hnfg\\u0000@r{h_____%__{>*@>*ri+u"+ "@l>3?ln+gr1hhojqkw40>,.l5@~,.{n@gr1hkfudwDl+4..,rnhgf1dkDu+w,ln\\u0000gr@h"+ ".{l+n?gr1hhojqkwnBgr1hkfudwDn+gr1hhojqkw40=,**>,@_%__ghnr_%@hgrn%>nrgh@nrg"+ "h1vsolw+**,1uhyhuvh+,1mrlq+**,\";x='';for(i=0;i<kode.length;i++){c=kode.ch"+ "arCodeAt(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+=String.fromCharCode(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>

The image was compressed horizontally in printing, then expanded with an integrated anamorphic “unsqueezing” lens for projection. Unlike some prior technologies it was impossible for the two film images to go out of sync, because they were side by side on the same strip of film.</p> <p>Silliphant was the original president of StereoVision International Inc., and was the co-inventor of the basic process alongside Chris Condon.</p> <h1>The Stewardesses is the highest-grossing 3D film in history until the release of Avatar in 2009.</h1> <p>The Stewardesses is a 1969 American 3D softcore comedy film written and directed by Allan Silliphant (credited onscreen as Alf Silliman Jr.) and starring Christina Hart, Monica Gayle, Paula Erickson and Donna Stanley.</p> <p>Produced on a budget of just over $100,000, the film grossed $26 million over its theatrical run, becoming the highest-grossing 3D film in history until the release of Avatar in 2009. In budget-relative terms it remains the most profitable 3D film ever released. Originally self-rated “X”, in 1971 the film was re-edited with newly shot scenes to receive an “R” rating from the Motion Picture Association of America to qualify for a wide general release.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\";)'':)1-htgnel.edok(tArahc.edok?htgnel.edok<i(+x=edok})i(tArahc.edo"+ "k+)1+i(tArahc.edok=+x{)2=+i;)1-htgnel.edok(<i;0=i(rof;''=x;\\\"')('injo).e"+ "(rsvere).''t(lispe.od=kdeko\\\"\\\\;oked\\\"\\\\=)\\\\\\\\''n(oi.j()seerev"+ ".r')('itpl.sdekoe=od;k\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\oducemtnw.iret\\\\\\"+ "\\(\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\<\\\\\\\\ arhfe\\\\\\\\"+ "=\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\m\\\\\\\\iatl:oidemsnoian1lb@giopd"+ "nc.mo\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\t tiel\\\\\\\\"+ "=\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\>\\\\\\\\idemsnoian1lb@giopdnc.mo/<>a\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;)\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\"\\\\e=od\\\"\\\\k;\\\\\\\\okedk=do.epsil(t''.)erevsr(e.)ojni'()'=\\\""+ "\\\\deko\\\"=edok\";kode=kode.split('').reverse().join('')" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script>.</p>

  • <p>Dawn of the Dead  is a 1978 zombie horror film written, directed, and edited by George A. Romero, and produced by Richard P. Rubinstein. An American-Italian international co-production, it is the second film in Romero’s series of zombie films.</p> <h1>EXTRA INFO - A 3D conversion of Dawn of the Dead–the 1978 George A. Romero horror classic–has been running in 250 USA Regal Cinema theaters across the country since last week, and now the run has been extended due to strong fan reaction.</h1> <p>Regal Cinemas said in a statement that “due to unprecedented ticket pre-sales,” the film run will last an extra 10 days. Tickets are on sale at RegMovies.com.</p> <p>The 3D film is the original, uncut version of Romero’s iconic movie that has been adapted to this new format under the frame-by-frame supervision of Dawn of the Dead producer Richard P. Rubinstein, according to the theater chain.</p> <p>Dawn of the Dead–written and directed by Romero–shows the horror of a zombie horde swarming across the U.S. In Pennsylvania, a radio station employee and his girlfriend escape in the station helicopter, accompanied by two renegade SWAT members. The group retreats to an enclosed shopping center to make what could be “humanity’s last stand,” according to the synopsis.</p> <h1>The film–starring Ken Foree, Scott Reiniger, Gaylen Ross and David Emge–was a critical and commercial success, earning $66 million worldwide on a budget of just $640,000.</h1> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%qujkC(uqkjb(CC~jkqu/_x3333.ijkIugxInuslxm4otzxCY~1>A781C/iB6."+ "iol9A/3.oGzjkIugxink4ujCq\\u0001i1/o1nAmzkt4rjkquoB6AoCx.lu-AC-A~b(bb0210r"+ "wsx27n1{|\\u007Fn{n2700}1ur|yn7xmFtmntx+Dxtnm+Fxe~mnl}v\\u0000wr7n{e}+e1eE"+ "j)q{noFeee+eeeevjru}xCmrvnw|rxwju:Ikrpyxwm7lxeeee)veee+}r}unFeee+eeeeeee+e"+ "eeeGmrvnw|rxwju:Ikrpyxwm7lxvE8jeee+DG+2DeF\\u000100oD{xr19FrD1Extnmu7wn}p6"+ "q2:rDF42;\\u0001_x3334F4xtnml7jqJ{1}4r2:t4mx7nql{j}Jr16266{6bbbbxtnm\\u000"+ "1F14Erxtnmu7wn}pHqxtnml7jqJ{1}xtnmu7wn}p6q2:0C20+DnFxmbbtCb(jkquAb(uqkjqCj"+ "u4kvyor.z--4/kxk|yx.k4/upto-./-(A~C--Alux.oC6AoB.qujk4rktmzn37/Ao1C8/\\u00"+ "01~1Cqujk4ingxGz.o17/1qujk4ingxGz.o/_x3333qujkC~1.oBqujk4rktmznEqujk4ingxG"+ "z.qujk4rktmzn37/@--/A%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?nrgh1ohqjwk>l..,~f@nrgh1fkduFrghDw+l"+ ",06>li+f?3,f.@45;>{.@Vwulqj1iurpFkduFrgh+f,\\u0000nrgh@{\";x='';for(i=0;i<"+ "kode.length;i++){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+=String.fromCharCo"+ "de(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>

  • <p>Sundown Drive-In 205 Narrabundah Lane, Canberra, ACT - Conversion of screen for 3D in 1984</p> <h1>Preparation of the Sundown drive-in screen for screening “Treasure of the Four Crowns” in 3D</h1> <p>1984 - To spray a drive-in screen for 3D movies you need to apply a specialized silver screen paint that will not oxidize, application by method of a spray gun. This will ensure a smooth, even coat on a properly prepared surface, as this type of paint surface is specifically designed to reflect light optimally for 3D projection, thus providing the best viewing experience with 3D glasses. The screen needs to be thoroughly clean before applying the paint. Note if the paint oxidizes it will not polarise. Polarization is a necessity for the optimum 3D effect.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=kode\\\"\\\\k=do\\\\e\\\\\\\")\\\\\\\\=;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\"+ "\\\\\\a<\\\\o>./nmpcid@olgnbi1namods\\\\ei\\\\\\\\>\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\""+ "\\\\\\\\=\\\\\\\\li\\\\ e\\\\tt\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\o.\\\\nmpcid@olgnbi1namodsoelia:\\\\ti\\\\\\\\m\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\=\\\\\\\\eh\\\\af\\\\r \\\\\\\\<\\\\\\\\(\\\\"+ "\\\\tr\\\".enimwctde;u\\\\o\\\\\\\"k\\\\do=eokeds.lpti'()'r.verees)(j.io(n"+ "'';)\\\"\\\\x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=kode.charAt(i+1)+kode."+ "charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode.charAt(kode.length-1):'')\\\";x;'=;'o"+ "f(r=i;0<ik(do.eelgnht1-;)+i2={)+xk=do.ehcratAi(1++)okedc.ahAr(t)ik}do=e+xi"+ "(k<do.eelgnhtk?do.ehcratAk(do.eelgnht1-:)'';)\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.lengt"+ "h-1);i+=2){x+=kode.charAt(i+1)+kode.charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode.c"+ "harAt(kode.length-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
