Talk about red carpet! This is the path the stars take to get into the Shrine Auditorium

The amazing set during rehearsals. 60 tons of air conditioning were plugged into the floor to keep it cool.

The Sony HDCAM HDW-700A is the little brother to the Sony/Panasonic HD electronic cinematography camera. I've been to Panavision to learn about their camera.

The 900 below is the heart of the Sony/Panavision camera. Panavision adds their lenses, an expanded color response, different optical low pass filters and more improvements to the stock camera.

The one sheet for the Disney Movie "Dinosaur", a fantastic trip back in time. The computer generated animation of the dinosaurs is unbelievable. James Newton Howard, original music composer, is getting his make-up touched up during his interviews at the Disney Feature Animation building. James did a great score for the film.

The movie opens May 19, 2000. You'll love it.
