MGM To Use Ultra-Panavision For Cinerama Productions The versatile Panavision system of motion picture photography, which was described in an earlier issue of American Cinematographer as readily adaptable to Cinerama-type film production, will be utilized by MGM for its forthcoming Cinerama productions. The system, developed by Panavision's Robert Gottschalk, will be integrated with the three-camera, three-projector system of Cinerama in the four MGM-Cinerama co-productions, it is reported.

The Ultra-Panavision system includes also, a method for employing a single camera and a single projector to take and project motion pictures in a 360-degree periphery. MGM is said to be planning to integrate this method with the Cinerama system.

Panavision is a motion picture equipment company specializing in camera, lens, and grip equipment, along with related accessories. After starting out as a small partnership that created anamorphic attachments for projection lenses, Panavision has slowly but steadily expanded its operations and product lines while maintaining a high level of design and quality. It is thus considered by many film crews to be a prestigious brand name. Unlike most of its competition, including rival Arri, Panavision operates exclusively as a rental house and owns its entire inventory. Its comprehensive offerings of in-house and externally produced camera models means Panavision is also one of Arri's top customers. The company is currently based in Woodland Hills, California, United States. Any major production that uses Panavision's services is contractually obliged to provide a credit that says "Filmed with Panavision Cameras and Lenses" if using spherical lenses, or "Filmed in Panavision" if using anamorphic lenses.
