New Catalogued Script of the 3 New and Classic examples of Egocentric Proximity.

CINERAMAX IOPH

Well-known member
It started in minute 36 of this youtube.

Obviously the young man lacks the insights from having Experienced the Gravity Premiere in the room where ATMOS was invented. Back in 2013 and making this project my central preoccupation. If you follow the scripts now we peel some layers of the onion. This script is proof that this kid is wrong.I have identified 3 types of proximity effects that are actually elements of the EGOCENTRIC SOUNDFIELD as opposed to ALLOCENTRIC, the legacy surround sound we all know and love.

No time to explain fully today here is a snippet from somewhere else that sheds some light. I argue

Now that you are beginning to understand that for the last 6 years I have not being watching movies for enjoyment but instead scanning and vetting them not for an excellent Legacy Type ALLOCENTRIC surround mix, but for these fleeting short moments of EGOCENTRIC proximity effects, in the wraparound and from overhead (and now I am adding a third SURROUND MOVING BASS -directional ping pong concussive effects) perhaps you will appreciate more the motivation why I have committed so much to this research project without actually sitting down to watch the whole film in many cases(65 grand in kaleidescape store + 45 on multichannel out of print music) trying to recreate the binaural like 3D elements endemic to the Room Where Atmos was Invented.

3 kinds of proximity.png
LEGEND:W is for Wraparound proximity effects but also effects that transit over the MLP, T is for Topsmmersion you need to have robust ceiling speakers for this (try setting at 40-50 instead of 80 the crossover to get the pounded down effect) , MBOB Is Moving Bass on Bed channels (ping pong surround bass this requires deselecting the 80 hz crossover to LFE and set to full range), the number indicates intensity in decreasing order,

I will add more clarity at a later post

Peter,
Always a fan of you Scripts... I promptly bought/downloaded the missing movies on my Terra.
Uploaded the Script...
Problem - did not see the Sonic 2 Summerplace scene add up - my guess is this is a custom scene that is why it is not showing up in the script even though I bought the movie.
Any comments I will appreciate...
 
Hi Ash, thanks for the love. Try rebooting or reimporting the script, it is supposed to load all the custom scenes automatically. We know there was a FW upgrade yesterday, I hope it is not a bug. Crossing fingers!
Cheers!
 
‘Sonic 2” just had an update yesterday. If you just downloaded this title and Peter did his script/scene with the prior version then the ”Sonic 2” scene will not be added as the two titles will no longer match.

Aha... Peter... Hope you are listening ...
I did download the Movie last night after I saw the Script had a scene in it..
Since I got my Terra I rarely buy movies until I am about to watch them - it takes only 10 minutes to download - I do buy movies on sale all the time though...
So Peter may have to review the Script for this change.

Aha, that is the fact. Ok give me a couple of days. Cheers!
 
Awesome! I've only got a few of those movies so far, but this was the first time I used a script. Looking forward to trying out others!
