Author Topic: Advice Needed For Historic Theatre Adam Holland Film Handler Posts: 66 From: Oak Grove, LA Registered: Nov 2007 posted 12-31-2007 12:13 PM                     It is probably 60 feet long and about 4 foot tall. If this helps with size you can put two rows of the big letters or three rows of the little letters. About how far apart do you need neon to make it look like it is fully lit.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-31-2007 01:23 PM                        Ours are about 7" apart...but again, we're not lighting a huge white area like you are. You need a sign expert for these questions. You can usually get a no-obligation quote or at least a ballpark guess from any reputable sign company.  |  IP: Logged Adam Holland Film Handler Posts: 66 From: Oak Grove, LA Registered: Nov 2007 posted 12-31-2007 01:58 PM                     Thanks for your help. Do you have a phone number of one I can call.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-31-2007 02:29 PM                        Uhhhh, you need someone in YOUR area. We're at least 2500 miles from you. Just run a Google for sign shops in your area, or look in your phone book yellow pages under signs.  |  IP: Logged Adam Holland Film Handler Posts: 66 From: Oak Grove, LA Registered: Nov 2007 posted 12-31-2007 04:45 PM                     For those of you who were wanting a shot of the interior of the Fiske here is one that was taken as it was when we got control of it back in June. I know the shot is dark and hopefully you can make a little out of it. You will notice that the stage is still set up for a concert. We now have painted the paneling wall black and have a temp. 15ft x 9ft screen up on the wall that we are currently using to show our movie of the month. All comments with suggestions or ideas are welcome. Hopefully I will take an interior shot of the lobby and post it here soon. If I didn't do this right if the moderator will please fix it, it would be appreciated.

Was the last one taken from the booth or balcony? Does it have a balcony?  |  IP: Logged Adam Holland Film Handler Posts: 66 From: Oak Grove, LA Registered: Nov 2007 posted 01-08-2008 04:04 PM                     I am wanting to say it was from the top or an upper row of the balcony just looking at the angle of the shot. This picture was taken in June as said. I will try to get some pictures of it with our temp screen up and one of the lobby since we have decorated it as a theatre again.  |  IP: Logged Cameron Glendinning Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 845 From: West Ryde, Sydney, NSW Australia Registered: Dec 2005 posted 01-08-2008 07:55 PM                     I look forward to seeing them. Thankyou  |  IP: Logged
