Author Topic: Lobby previews Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 10-21-2003 04:38 PM                     FWIW Cinemark over here have Monitors hanging from the ceiling near the snack bar that plays trailers. I apparently was video tape at one time as you could see the picture tearing due to the player/tape problem. Maybe someone who works there can fill us in on the specifics of where they get their material from.  |  IP: Logged Pete Lawrence Expert Film Handler Posts: 192 From: Middleburg, PA Registered: Aug 1999 posted 10-22-2003 10:10 AM                     Does anyone remember a company that would compile trailers onto VHS tape or DVD to order? I came across them a year or so ago but can't seem to find them now. The price wasn't to outrageous for the service as I recall. If memory serves they also sold daters and other stuff on film. Maybe the Copyright Police closed them down.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

I've been told we are cheaper (hopefully in a good way!) than Cinema Concepts - and you can order online anytime you want. And yes, we have licensing agreements with the studios who provide us with video masters of the trailers for lobby display compilation. :- Plug over.

Parr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 823 From: Cedar Park, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 10-24-2003 12:51 PM                     Pete Doug's company also used tobe called Willming and Reams they did all teh Front Row Joe trailers in the late 80's and early 90's for Cinemark. These were nicely done trialers never had a complaint about them at all. I am assuming that the name change in the company may have alot to do with Denise leaving and going to work for Disney or Pixar, I have seen her name in Credit recently on several movies. Would highly recomend there services if your looking for some custome film stock work as well.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 10-26-2003 12:36 AM                        Doug, I guess I already know the answer to this question, but I'll ask anyway just in case. Does your company have access to old trailers of classic titles....in other words, someplace the art house can go to get those trailers that when we ask the studios for them, all they do is laugh? Also, you mentioned that you can supply the trailers in 35mm, but on the site it didn;t mention 35mm for the titles listed. Do you do custom 35mm snipes?

Ok, now that that's out of the way, the answer as you suspected is no. Exhibitor relations only supply us with the latest and "greatest". Since I'm a trailer buff myself, I try to archive as many as possible, but quite honestly, there's been little demand for anything but the newest stuff. Even new art film trailers are sometimes hard to come by, as many of the independents don't have an exhibitor relations dept. and aren't even aware of lobby advertising venues. There are always films being released that are being played in limited areas with limited appeal, but we can usually track down most anything that's requested. We don't handle any studio trailers on 35mm., just our own custom and generic policy snipes. You can go to our website to download most of our generic trailers. I haven't gotten around to putting up a page with our custom work yet, since changing the company to PreShow Productions, but I'm always happy to send out a DVD of current offerings and work we've done over the years, if you'll just contact me. And I'm happy to discuss any custom trailer work you may need. By the way, thanks for the endorsement, William. Your check is in the mail .  |  IP: Logged
