To create a truly immersive experience, you need more than just a television. A complete home theater system includes a large screen, powerful audio system with multiple speakers, a Blu-ray or DVD player, and comfortable seating. You can also add extras like a popcorn machine or even a wet bar to make your home theater complete. Most importantly is the room, a dedicated space is what truly makes a home theater. This is because you are eliminating all other distractions outside the room. Have you ever been engrossed in a show and all of sudden the the stream goes down and you are completely dismayed? When you go to a movie theater, you are able to get lost in a story because:
It's a date: You have set a time and date to "Escape and watch a movie". This may not seem like a big deal but in todays world and everyone being saturated with info, how often do you really put your phone away and escape for a few hours? With family or friends?
Building Anticipation: The local cinema is designed to give you the best experience. When you enter there are usually red-velvet ropes and movie posters to look at as you wind through the foyer. This builds anticipation, just like Disney or any other amusement park does.
Fun Snacks: The concession stand: is always filled with sweets and popcorn, yes they are usually overpriced but it is always worth adding to the excitement. We have plenty of options to help you offer a similar experience with old fashion popcorn machines, candy counters or may be a wine fridge?
The Seating: Comfortable reclining seats that are tiered and offset to the row in front of it. This helps everyone get a good view. We practice this same design, whether you choose traditional home theater seats or a comfy couch the whole family can gather on, we will make sure there is plenty of room and a riser for the 2nd, 3rd and any other rows beyond that.
Projection Screen: The massive screen that takes up the entire front of the theater, even if you tried it would be impossible not to be immersed in what plays out on the "silver screen". You can learn everything about projectors here.
Surround Sound: A calibrated sound system that lets you hear every detail, coming from a specific direction. This helps put you right in the middle of the story, and keeps you there!
No Distractions: The room itself, dark with no distractions, once a cell phone rings or a baby cries your are taken out of the experience! Almost similar to be woken from a great dream and trying to get yourself back into the moment. This is why right before the movie they play all those mini-clips of "theater etiquette".
All of the components above are what makes going to the movies so exciting, well, except the crying baby, cell phones ringing and other distractions which you have complete control of in your own home theater. We can not stress enough that distractions are the enemy to you getting lost in a story. We can give you the most amazing audio & video components but placing them in your living room with big windows, possible traffic passing by, pots & pans clanging in the kitchen and other everyday noises will continuously diminish the experience.
The first step in having your very own dedicated home theater room is to decide what type of experience you want to create. Are you looking for a casual setup that you can use for family movie night, or do you want to recreate the feeling of being at the movies? We can even replicate your favorite old time movie theater! Once you have a good idea we can start discussing the overall design. Theo Kalomirakis "the father of home theater" refers to the theater as "the wrapping", it sets the mood on what's to come. Many clients know exactly what they want, it may be a favorite sports team or musician theme, the possibilities are truly endless.
