honor description - The Boris FX Mocha Pro planar motion tracking system Summary of the 2006 Frank Sinatra show: The producer of this show, James Sanna, said: "It all started with the Sinatra family being kind enough to let us go into their archives. We made an amazing discovery of material and the core of the show is a 35mm film Sinatra commissioned in the late Fifties. Frank paid for a 35mm camera to film him performing; he is singing virtually a cappella with only his piano player. We have used the latest in film and stage technologies to make those images really come to life. If you blink your eyes you will feel you are watching Sinatra actually performing. That is what we are setting out to achieve." Sinatra at the London Palladium previewed from 17 February 2006, opened on 8 March 2006 and closed on 16 September 2006. Sinatra: His Voice. His World.
