What is the fragrance-invasion?
In the fifties and early 1960s, they experimented with film companies with a number of tricks to compete with a new medium -stolen audience known as television. One of these tricks that fought by film producer Mike Todd, Jr., was dubbed with the smell of O-Vision because he tried to use the familiar fragrance to strengthen the film experience of the audience. The fragrance process, however, proved to be a defect filled with a flop with an audience, and only one film about the smell appeared in theaters in theaters. Laube, however, called his system Scentovision . The basic concept included a projection of manually relaxing various vials of fragrances at specific points in the film, such as the smell of flowers during the romantic scene or the smell of the smoke of the weapon during shooting. The original Scentovision system could not be captured on the number of reasons, but not least, there was a substantial number of contradictory fragrances that eventually filled the theater.
When Mike Todd, Jr. and his father considered a new approach to promoting theirThe latest film, worldwide in 80 days , remembered the former demonstration of the Laube system Stentovision. Although the system of logged fragrance-ovision was not really implemented in this film, Todd made a comedy film that would represent the fragrance-Vision. This film was appropriately called Scent of Mystery and should be a dubious honor to be the first and last film made in the fragrance-ovision.
The intention was to equip individual theater seats with hollow tubes that would transfer different fragrances at essential points of the plot. One character would be represented, for example, by the distinctive smell of pipe smoke. The belt containing a uniform vial of fragrances would be synchronized with a soundtrack to ensure that a member of the audience received the right scent at exactly the right moment. In practice, however, some fragrances did not dry well with the points of the plot and arrived too late or not at all.
Smell-o-invision suffered the same problem of 3-D movies they made a few years ago. The process itself was much better than the films that used it. The audience became a frustrated sensory overload with the aspect of the fragrance-ovision and The smell of mystery was generally praised by film criticism. The film tricks of the film ended soon, and the fragrance process-the moth was when the studios tried to survive.
Modern attempts to revive the fragrance-ovision usually include special cards of scratched and sniffs that are asked to feel during specific scenes. Although it could solve some of the technical defects regarding the transmission of fragrances, the director, for example, showed some dubious elections in terms of the fragrance included in the modern film Vision Vision.
