The cinema took almost twelve months to build and most certainly was a real labor of love. Above the screen on the ceiling are two high speakers which really add a big sound stage, all this is powered by the Integra DCH 80.2 & DTA 70.1. The screen is 140” AT scope screen with the three fronts in behind. There are three rows of stepped seating each containing four seats making a total of twelve high back tip-up seats. Two Velodyne subs and two Clarke Synthesis (under two rows of seats) make up the 9.4 sound. This seamless presentation makes the magic of cinema really come alive!Īll speakers (Klipsch THX ) are concealed in the ceiling and walls as I didn’t want boxes showing to detract from the clean lines. Everything is operated from the ipad at the comfort of my own seat in the back row. The masking is set with three auto stops, 4:3, 16:9 and 2:37 ScopE and when that is activated the anamorphic lens, sledge and stretch all happen simultaneously. With this setup I can do all sorts of “old fashioned” real cinema like presentations, overture, and entr’actes, colour changes and re-create the drama before the main feature. The curtain lighting can be set to automatically change a multitude of colours, slowly dissolving from one to the other over a period of 1.5 mins. As the curtain opens it disappears at right angles into the side walls, complicated yes but it does work, plus it allows for a larger ScopE screen. The main curtain is crushed Velvet almond colour, which is lit by RGB LED top and bottom. There are four wall panels on each side wall and these are made of MDF with warm white LED tucked in behind each panel. Carpets are dark chocolate brown and the wall panels are avocado green. The colours I used are dark burgundy walls and midnight blue/black ceilings. The size of the room (6M long x 4M wide) lends itself to a minimal “modern design” without too much decoration, it’s timeless and helps create a space which looks much larger than what it really is. The style of my cinema is modern, this I modeled from the 1958 Odeon Cinema Auckland City where I was once a projectionist.
