CineMagic is the name of a film process invented by Norman Maurer and 3-D movie producer Sid Pink for the 1959 science-fiction film The Angry Red Planet to cast a red glow over scenes depicting the surface of Mars. The low-cost process made the actors look similar to cartoon drawings so they would fit in with low-budget, less realistic sets and props.
To achieve this effect, a black and white film negative was first processed with solarisation (a process which partially reverses the negative making some areas of the image appear positive). The resulting film was then tinted red. Making a film positive was not necessary. At the time The Angry Red Planet was produced, black and white film cost less than color film and processing. The combination of using black and white film for all scenes depicting Mars and not needing to produce a film positive lowered production costs for the film.
Cinemagic is a channel on Sirius XM Satellite Radio Online devoted to film scores, as well as other music and dialogue from film soundtracks. Dave Ziemer is the programming director for the channel.
XM Cinemagic was on channel 73 (prior to November 12, 2008, Cinemagic was on XM channel 27, and then it moved to 76). XM Radio Canada added the channel on April 1, 2007. As of 6 pm Eastern time on January 5, 2009, Cinemagic was no longer available on Sirius channel 81 (Dish Network 6081). It was replaced with The Strobe, which returned due to subscriber demand. Until February 9, 2010, it was on DirecTV channel 822 until all of the Sirius XM programming was dropped in favor of Sonic Tap. Due to a technology glitch with Sirius radios, channel 81 displayed "Cinemagic". On May 4, 2011, CineMagic was moved to XM channel 73 and Sirius internet radio channel 806.
SiriusXM announced on June 24, 2011 that Cinemagic will no longer be available except online via an additional subscription on channel 806 for both services. The final selection to be aired on the satellites leading up to midnight, July 4, 2011, was "So Long, Farewell (Auf Weidersehen, Goodbye)" from The Sound of Music. The bandwidth was then transferred over to BYU Radio on channel 143. Film scores played on the station are from films including Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Gladiator, Chinatown, The Incredibles, Gone With the Wind, Kill Bill Vol. 1&2, Moulin Rouge, Back to the Future, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Air Force One.
