Ivo Caprinos Supervideograf

Ivo Caprinos Supervideograf (lit. "Ivo Caprino's Super Videographer") is a type of cinema technology used several places in Norway.

It was developed by animator and filmmaker Ivo Caprino.[1] It was introduced as part of a 90 million kr entertainment centre at Nordkapp in 1988. The screen spanned 225 degrees and utilized five film projectors.[2] The films are created with five cameras which are mounted together. It can be mounted under a helicopter, on a sled and used under water. By 2004, more than 30 films had been made.[3]

In 1995 a "Super Videographer" was added to the amusement park Hunderfossen Familiepark, which also features other themes from Ivo Caprino's animation universe.[4] A "Super Videographer" cinema was also included in the polar centre Polaria in Tromsø,[5] Hardangervidda Natursenter in Eidfjord[6] the Norwegian Glacier Museum in Fjærland and other locations.[1] The cinema at Nordkapp was replaced with a new high-definition panorama cinema in 2009.[7]
