INDUSTRY NEWS POST PRODUCTION Theatre First for Atmos By Jake Young
Te third title in the West End Teatre Series, captured live in high definition by Digital Teatre and distributed by CinemaLive, Ghosts was the first ever live production captured on film with audio using Dolby’s Atmos technology. Audio Media was invited to experience the production at the Dolby London Office.
Te preview started with an explanation from Melissa Keeping, chairman, Event Cinema Association, about how Dolby and Digital Teatre worked together to mix and produce Ghosts in Atmos. “Dolby’s endorsement of event cinema by producing this in Atmos is a wonderful sign and we’re all really excited
about it,” she said. “I can’t even imagine where this will lead. Te harnessing of a theatrical production in Atmos is really exciting as well because we’re going to hear the full strength of what this product has to offer: things off the wings, sound effects, forward and backwards, and so on.”
“Digital Teatre and
CinemaLive are transforming how we watch performances
that are traditionally reserved for theatre,” said Andy Dowell, regional director for northern Europe, Dolby. “For the first time, a theatre production has been captured in Dolby Atmos. Tis brings a unique and extraordinary experience to the cinema, making it feel as if you are sitting in the theatre itself and watching the original performance of the play.”
