Not cinema! This is mechanical engineering and an area called kinematics.
Marjory Hord (asker) Aug 21, 2016:
Or evolvente? 2 veces en la misma sección se escribe "evolvente". Por ej. "Evolventes: características geométricas y cinemáticas". Evolving surfaces?

sweeping surfaces

Is the subject "engineering" or "filmmaking"?

It sounds to me like "Cinemascope" or rather "Cinerama", i.e., "envolvente" as a surface is one that "surrounds" you, somewhat... encircles you...

Any additional contextual information could help to determine what would this be?

Peer comment(s):

neutral lorenab23 : I think in this case cinemática is not about film but Kinematics (mechanics)
