I hope it's not obsolete!!!  |  IP: Logged Robb Johnston Expert Film Handler Posts: 147 From: St. Louis Suburbs Registered: Nov 1999 posted 01-13-2000 02:25 PM                        At the three locations that I oversee Booth Operations, I have the projectionists wear the standard black uniform pants that all staff wears, and a red polo shirt with the company logo on it. I wear "Dickies" work pants and polo shirts other than red.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-13-2000 04:28 PM                     Actually, that picture was taken and given to me by Chip Gelmini. Aside from working as a projectionist and his hobby of a changeover Super 8mm theater he is a photographer. It's a special order item. Brenkert does not stock it.  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 01-14-2000 12:48 AM                        My company requires all staff to wear black dress pants, black and shiny dress shoes, a white dress shirt long sleeve and a black tie full length, and they provide a wonderfully colerful BLACK vest. The only exeptions is myself who gets to wear whatever the hell I want to, because who the hell would take this crap for the cheap ass pay I get. ------------------ "If it's not worth doing, I have allready been there and done it"  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-18-2000 03:43 PM                     When I started all sound engineers had to wear a tie and jacket on the job as did most projectionists. And heven help any operator or engineer that wasn't in a tux for a preimer event. But then also people lost there jobs if a downtown theatre went off the screen over a weekend too. I still often wear a tie and jacket with a shop coat on the job. I have noticed over many years far more respect is given by the others when a person is concientious of there dress and respect of the job they do  |  IP: Logged Christopher A Kerr Film Handler Posts: 43 From: Oakville, Ontario, Canada Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-18-2000 05:09 PM                     Around here the rule is : 1. Company uniform shirt and khaki pants 2. Shirt and tie If I expect to spend most of my evening in the booth, i will wear khakis and a t-shirt or sportshirt so that i don't get too messed up.  |  IP: Logged Chris Wootten Film Handler Posts: 50 From: Moonlit Cinema, RAAF Tindal, N.T. Australia Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-21-2000 06:50 AM                     I have to wear a uniform all the time as I am in the miltary. The idea of a uniform for film handlers is outdated, and noncense. Dress in a manner that is comfortable and with a regard to safety should be the highest priority. No-one sees the projectionist normally anyway. Uniforms for the Ushers and Candy-bar staff is a must tho as it shows a more professional approach, and also makes staff more readily identifiable to patrons.  |  IP: Logged Greg Mueller Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1687 From: Port Gamble, WA Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-05-2000 05:20 PM                        Speaking of uniforms... Anyone know where I can get an usher's uniform? I'd like to get one that ressembled the one the old man wore when he give the kid the magic ticket in "Last Action Hero"  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 11-02-2009 05:14 PM                 It has been 3557 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 11-02-2009 05:14 PM                       BUMP. For no other reason than THE GIRL ON PAGE ONE. I just happened to stumble upon this thread tonight while searching for something else, although I well remember this girl's picture. Enjoy.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-02-2009 06:27 PM                        If you are required to wear a company uniform, do it. If it gets all dirty and oily and whatnot from doing regular booth work, let it be. Then simply wander downstairs and make sure customers see your soiled-from-booth-work uniform. It can't really be avoided. Customers will think the theater allows employees to have soiled uniforms. If it doesn't come out in the wash, whatever. The company will need to pay to get it dry cleaned or replaced and the customers will still think the employees are encouraged to be sloppy. If the management tries to keep you out of customer view due to your dirty uniform, then simply ask them what the point is to be wearing a uniform in the first place. They won't have a logical answer for the whole thing... they are managers after all. Booth attire should be decent, but not super-nice clothes without rock bands or other nonsense applied to the shirts and without holes in the pants. And it should be comfortable. The end.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 11-02-2009 06:57 PM                       The girl, Joe! THE GIRL!!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-02-2009 07:28 PM                        Yeah, I downloaded that to my desktop 9 years ago. It's probably still around somewhere. Dunno... she's above average but not WAY above average or anything.  |  IP: Logged Matt Young Film Handler Posts: 36 From: Kearney, NE, USA Registered: Jun 2009 posted 11-02-2009 08:48 PM                        Our district manager wanted projectionists to wear a "uniform", I said ok, as long as I could pick it out/design it. So I went to the place where they get uniforms for our popcorn servers and dust-pan commando's downstairs and told him I wanted black t-shirts with our company logo on the left front chest and "projection" on the back. The end. They look nice AND they're comfortable. Since they're black, if we get oil or grease or whatever on them it's not as noticeable.  |  IP: Logged Edward Havens Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 614 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Mar 2008 posted 11-03-2009 02:43 AM                     When I was with UATC in the late 1980s, the company provided us with some really crappy looking breakaway ties to wear. I don't know why that was a better alternative than just tucking your tie in to your shirt... but then, that's what us new wave kids were doing anyway at the time.  |  IP: Logged
