In reponse to the post dated 3/31/98 in the nvxe thread......(i do not have
access to the thread...please post):
To all those investors that have bought NVXE stock based on the information
presented by Ray and Co. and who may all be confused by this recent post by a
Mr. Lowry.
Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Dino, and I had previously been
involved with NVXE when the company was actually called Infinity Vision
Entertainment. Myself along with a couple of others were responsible for
creating the foundation in which NVXE is now based. Specifically, I produced
the Event at MTV Spring Break 1994, Woodstock 1994 and was the producer on the
new and improved Edge of Reality Film when it was converted from a title called
Beyond 3D. I also was a big part of putting the MCI deal together in Sept. 1994
and consulted with the company on several projects since including The NASCAR
project, FOX X-Files, IAAPA Convention, and The GWE Truck. A company which I
founded, kosmos innertainment group, was hired to sell Edge of Reality to
Knotts Berry farm in October of 1995, which we did.
For about two years I have not been active at all with the company, except for
random visits or calls to the company. One of which I made last week.
Having said all of that, I will tell you all that what Mr. Lowry has told you is
not true. Although IMAX 3D uses a much larger piece of film, actually two
seperate pieces of film for each image, their costs are 100 times than those of
NVXE in terms of negative costs. Moreover the investment required to project
the images is well over 50 times more expensivel, and the quality is only
slightly better for image brightness only.
Mr. Lowry is comparing apples and oranges. Yes there have been actually three
"waves of 3D" in history but none have included high quality content, most of
the films created were gimmic's and had no story lines, shot poorly, with bad
acting, lighting, directing and cinematography, like porn videos are now.
NVXE's system developed by chris is the best system available today at the price
range. There is in fact a market niche for such a product, how about 55,000
screens across the world, right now. Minimal retro-fit would have to take place
to get theatres converted and films up and running, some of these theatres
already have the screens and projection bulbs stashed from the last go around...
On the contrary IMAX has all it can do to build two or three a year at several
million a pop and the kicker is the ultimate quality of the film is very poor.
Why is it poor at IMAX you ask. Because Imax does not understand the general
rule of 3D. which is, if it doesn't happen in reality i.e. the real world with
your own eyes, it can't happen on screen. meaning, you can not rack focus and
zoom in 3d, it just doesn't work and it eventually hurts your eyes and brain.
When is the last time you looked at your buddy standing next to you and then
moved your eye slightly and caught the side of a building 50 feet away. your
buddy doesn't slowly loose focus and blur while the fifty foot wall comes into
focus, what happens is your buddy quickly goes out of convergence and the wall
comes into convergence but the image of each stay's sharp and clear.
Another example is to take a pen, hold it in your hand 2 inches from your eyes,
focus on the writing on the pen, then move the pen out to the extend of your
arm, say 2 ft for a short guy like me, always keeping the writing in focus, do
this three or four times. pay attention to the background, it falls way out of
convergence and then moves back in, this is reality not what IMAX gives you
which is soft and hard backgrounds. MOreover, if you do this trick to your self
over and over again, you will get sick and may have to throw-up because it
messes with your equlibrium. IMAX doesn't care about your equilibrium, so they
will constantly change convergence cut to cut resulting in "BAD 3D".
CHRIS's lenses are designed to mitigate convergence problems. THEY WORK, I
have personally seen his films over 1000 times, sometimes 30 times a day with
out any problems, if you did not know, chris is 70+ years old and has been
building these lenses for over 40 years, he is not just starting out or just
figuring it out.
Therefore I will close by saying that NVXE has an opportunity to produce and
sell films for the niche market, not 70mm IMAX, which by the way, chris also
has a lens to compete, but 35mm with silver screen projection and 3k to 4k
lamphouses with chris's patented projection lens and polarizing filters, which
are much sharper than his so called competitors. This is the market that they
have chosen to pursue and they have no reliable competition at that price and
quailty point except for me and I am too busy with other stuff to bother with
this right now.
SO hang in there folks, NVXE has assests which will generate significant
revenues, such as the concert footage from two years ago and their new action
sports film along with their new partners projects.
I am not privy to inside info, but they do have the ability to pull it off and I
have been in 3D now for over 4 years and there is no competiton! Chris's lenses
are wonderful, compact, well engineered and do the job well.
I will watch for reaction to this post which I have asked gary to post for me
and reply accordingly.
