(Unless you use the filmguard to wipe down the covers of the equipment to give it that clean and shiny look)  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Can you paint the walls too? quote: Sean Weitzel Isn't it weird to think of a booth, built and blessed by Brad & company, has not one bottle of filmguard anywhere. Obviously you were not paying attention to the picture of the matrix rack.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I've not met an unpainted drywall yet that didn't dust up. Steve  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-23-2009 11:53 PM                     Hmmm...you're right. Digital painting just ain't gonna do it. It's going to have to be analogue.  |  IP: Logged Sean Weitzel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Vacaville, CA (1790 miles west of Rockwall) Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-24-2009 12:45 AM                     Yep I didn't see them hidden behind the matrix rack. I like John's placement better. They look like little monuments!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-24-2009 12:52 AM                     Steve, do you have any documentation on that? We share the same concern.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-24-2009 03:53 AM                     Geez...many years at the Ritz 16 ...the drywall dust that got into the blowers, switches...you name it...it was premature failure city. Fortunately, one of the first things the new owners of the facility did was paint the booth, finally (about 10-years after it opened). I hope you supplied the SMG with spare filters for those projectors...they are going to need them.

I bet he chose not to paint the booth.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-24-2009 11:40 AM                     Thanks for confirming my concern on the paint Steve. That fool Joe speakers of is no longer with the company, but yes it was his doing to not paint it. What a wonderful parting gift he left us with.  |  IP: Logged Robert E. Allen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1078 From: Checotah, Oklahoma Registered: Jul 2002 posted 03-24-2009 01:20 PM                     An absolutely beautiful booth. At first I was a bit saddened to think it spells the death of the projectionist profession. But then I realized this won't happen to small town and rural theatres for probably longer than any of us will live. Congratulations Brad.  |  IP: Logged Alan Gouger Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 501 From: Bradenton, FL, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 03-24-2009 01:20 PM                        Congrats to Brad and team. Always setting the example one step ahead of the technology curve. Nice work.  |  IP: Logged
