  • <h1>Love in 3-D at the Bryson (original German title: Liebe in drei Dimensionen) is a 1973 West German adult comedy film directed by Walter Boos. It is historically notable for being shot in 70mm (specifically using the Triarama process)</h1> <p>The film is a sexploitation comedy featuring multiple erotic vignettes. It gained significant international success, partly due to the novelty of combining “eroticism and 3-D”.</p> <p>In filmmaking, Triarama is an alternative name for a specific three-dimensional (3D) film process officially known as Hi-Fi Stereo 70 or Stereovision 70. This technical process allows for the recording and projection of stereoscopic images using a single camera and a specialized 65mm or 70mm film format.</p> <p>How the Triarama Process Works – The process creates a 3D effect by simulating human depth perception through the following steps: Dual Image Capture: A single camera uses two lenses spaced at a distance similar to human eyes (approximately 63.5mm) to record two separate images simultaneously.</p> <h1>Anamorphic Squeeze: These two images (left and right perspectives) are placed side-by-side on a single 65mm negative frame and subjected to an anamorphic squeeze.</h1> <p>Stereoscopic Projection: During exhibition, the film is projected onto a screen where the two images are “unsqueezed.” Audience members wear polarised 3D glasses to ensure each eye sees only its corresponding image, which the brain then merges to perceive depth.</p> <h1>Release: While shot in 70mm, it was frequently screened in a 35mm single-strip 3D format for exhibition, as was the Bryson season.</h1> <p>Cinematography: The film is characterized by extreme 3D effects designed to jump out of the screen, including scenes with twigs hitting a car window, a girl on a swing moving toward the camera, and various objects thrusted toward the audience.</p> <p>Cast: The film starred Ingrid Steeger, Christina Lindberg, and Elisabeth Volkmann.</p> <h1>Season - Love in 3D commenced at the Bryson on July 5th 1974 and ran for a six week season, concluding on Aug 15, 1974.</h1> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%,**+qlrm1,+hvuhyhu1,**+wlosv1hgrn@hgrn>_%nrgh@_%__{@hgrn\\u00"+ "00,f+hgrFudkFprui1jqluwV@.{>;54@.f,3?f+il>60,l+wDhgrFudkf1hgrn@f~,..l>kwjq"+ "ho1hgrn?l>3@l+uri>**@{>_____%__~Ckjuq3333x________/i.kjuIxgnIsuxl4mtoxzYC1"+ "~A>87C1i/6Bi.loA93/o.zGkjuIxgni4kjuqCi\\u0001/11oAnzmtkr4kjuqBoA6Co.xulA--"+ "C~A(2001wrxs721n|{n\\u007Fn{72001}ruy|7nmxtFnmxtD+txmnF+e\\u0001Fnmxt6666{"+ "b2l1nmxL{jqLvx{o7pwr{}\\\\F4\\u0001DA;:F4l29El1orD<62r1}JnmxL{jql7nmxtFl43"+ "33x________244rDq}pwnu7nmxtErD9Fr1{xoD00F\\u0001Dee+eG5.Jm;Hy{o:pz{|sunL=x"+ "mz{u\\u007FzqyupJ.h.hIqx\\u0000u\\u0000,.hy{o:pz{|sunL=xmz{u\\u007FzqyupF{"+ "\\u0000xumy.hIrq~t,mH.4q\\u0000u~3333x________:\\u0000zqy\\u0001o{pee+eFnm"+ "xt+eDtxmnFtxmn7|yur}10027{n\\u007Fn{|n127sxrw1002+Fnmxt(Ckjuq_____%__@hgrn"+ "_%__>nrgh@nrgh1vsolw+**,1uhyhuvh+,1mrlq+**,_%@hgrn%>nrgh@nrgh1vsolw+**,1uh"+ "yhuvh+,1mrlq+**,\";x='';for(i=0;i<kode.length;i++){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;"+ "if(c<0)c+=128;x+=String.fromCharCode(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
