Exploring the Cinematic Elements of ScreenX 270°- A Case Study: Adaptation of an Animated Short

This paper will discuss challenges regarding set design, editing, sound design, rendering, and cinematography for adapting animated short movies to the ScreenX format. Furthermore, we will explore the cinematic elements of ScreenX for 3D animations. ScreenX is a novel immersive 270-degree panoramic film format that extends the main cinema screen onto two side walls. Since the introduction of the technology in 2012, only a few animated films have been produced. This expanded cinema system is still in its very early stages. Therefore, more is needed to know about the potential for animated movies. We will introduce a case study and provide guidelines for future productions.
