Recreating a moving panorama performance which had not been seen in 130 years.
1ST DRAFT - The Velaslavasay Panoramain Los Angeles, California, is a historic exhibition hall, theatre and garden dedicated to the production and presentation of unusual visual experiences.
Not that many years ago, a photo copy of the 1853 script for The Grand Moving Mirror of California, landed on the doorstep of the Velaslavasay Panorama, to the attention of museum director Sara Velas. The script had been recently rediscovered in storage at the Saco Museum in Saco, Maine and was sent by moving "panoramaniac" Peter Morelli. The painted scroll no longer existed, just the script. What better place than the Velaslavasay Panorama and what more talented person than Sara to take up the challenge of bringing this performance back to life? It was a perfect match.
Sara, along with a diverse team of very talented people, set out to recreate the moving panorama, The Grand Moving Mirror of California. They didn't stop at merely creating the painting with the cranking apparatus, narration and music (a Herculian task by itself). They went on to create other accompanying pieces in the spirit of 19th century moving panorama performances: flyers, miniature panorama souviners, a display of Gold Rush artifacts, a logo reminiscent of 19th century engravings, on and on - amazing attention to detail, as you will see in the pictures below.
THE GRAND MOVING MIRROR OF CALIFORNIA tells the story of a sea voyage around the South American continent to reach GOLD RUSH ERA California. On the voyage, one encounters the thrills and chills of rough seas, exotic landscapes, wild fires and dangerous animals!!!
The box and cranking mechanism was made by Erik Newman. The design was based on a 19th Century moving panorama patent. Erik made improvements to that design, then drove the box from Chicago to LA in a 1981 VW Rabbit Diesel named Rosebud. Further adjustments were made by Brandy Kana.

The beautiful, 270 foot painting was designed and painted by Guan Rong.
