Here is a better clip.

It is an epic movie rent it if you have never seen it.
This one has still shots that show the curve of the screen.

It would be hard to do at home.
They use 3 cameras and a special 3 projection setup.

I saw How the west was won with a group of friends in 1963, it was amazing for the time. The tickets were expensive! But I-Max blows it away.
I ordered the new Blue Ray version.
"Or it can be projected by a single DVD yet sent to three video projectors with custom aperture plate to cut-off the rest of the image so that one half is projected at side angles at a fuller height.
Left projector is for right
Center projector is for center
Right projector is for left
That way it won’t need to be synchronized rather than just lined up 1 to 1."
Yes this would work, it would be a pain to set, but it would work. John
The DVD showed up on Saturday

By the way is it true what I read that the Cinerama version of How The West Was Won on bluray has smiley face image on flat surface when shown on TV or video projection.
It comes with two BR-DVDs one is the new letter box version and the other is the Smile face version. I have not had a chance to watch yet, will be out of town over the weekend. Next week I will be on vacation and I will watch both versions and give a report. John
