1. A system for collecting and projecting an image so as to create a visual effect comprising:
an image assembly capable of collecting at least one image;
an image projection assembly capable of projecting the at least one image collected by the image collection assembly;
a plurality of mirrors capable of reflecting the at least one image as it is being projected by the image projection assembly; and
a screen assembly capable of receiving the at least one image being reflected from the plurality of mirrors, the screen assembly being operably associated with the image collection assembly, the image projection assembly, and the plurality of mirrors such that when the at least one image and is received by the screen assembly a visual affect is created.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one image is a plurality of images that are sequentially captured by the image capturing assembly and sequentially projected by the image projection assembly to thereby create a moving visual effect.
3. The system of claim 2, wherein the screen assembly has a concaved reflecting surface for receiving the plurality of the images.
4. The system of claim 3, wherein the visual effect is a three-dimensional effect.
5. The system of claim 4, further including a sound system.
6. The system of claim 4, wherein the image capturing assembly includes a fisheye lens.
7. The system of claim 6, wherein the fisheye lens includes at least one anamorphic element.
8. The system of claim 6, wherein the fisheye lens has a focal length in a range from about 20 mm to about 30 mm.
9. The system of claim 6, wherein the image projection assembly includes a lens having an anamorphic element.
10. The system of claim 4, wherein the plurality of mirrors includes at least 3 mirrors having a substantially flat surface and at least one mirror having a substantially curved surface.
11. The system of claim 8, wherein the plurality of mirrors includes at least 3 mirrors having a substantially flat surface and at least one mirror having a substantially curved surface.
12. The system of claim 10, wherein the at least one mirror having a substantially curved surface is curved in a substantially non-uniform manner.
13. The system of claim 11, wherein the at least one mirror having a substantially curved surface is curved in a substantially non-uniform manner.
14. The system of claim 4, wherein the concaved reflecting surface of the screen assembly has an arc to cord ratio of about 2 to 1.
15. The system of claim 4, wherein the concaved reflecting surface of the screen assembly further includes a plurality of horizontally oriented substantially parallel elongated louvers, wherein each louver has a top edge, a bottom edge, a length and a width.
16. The system of claim 15, wherein the horizontally oriented substantially parallel elongated plurality of louvers overlap one another.
17. The system of claim 16, wherein each of the horizontally oriented substantially parallel elongated louvers are tilted at an angle in a range from about 10 degrees to about 20 degrees such that the bottom edge of each of the substantially parallel elongated louvers is closer to the image projector assembly than the top edge of the louver.
18. The system of claim 17, wherein the width of each louver is in a range from about \xbc inch to about 6 inches.
19. The system of claim 18, further including spacers between each louvers.
20. The system of claim 15, wherein the concaved reflecting surface of the screen assembly has a curve in a vertical plane in a range from about 50 degrees to about 65 degrees.
21. The coordinated system of claim 20, wherein the reflecting surface of the concave screen assembly has a curve in a horizontal plane in a range from about 150 degrees to about 170 degrees.
