Not completely sure about that ... it doesn't appear so. But, the IMAX DTAC sound system lets you!  |  IP: Logged Mike Babb Master Film Handler Posts: 250 From: Norwich UK Registered: Jul 2002 posted 10-24-2005 09:34 PM                        The Dolby show player is networked with the CP650 and can make sound format and volume changes at any time you program, trailer by trailer if you want, and in and out of EX if you want.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

It's a pain to do, but the feature is there.  |  IP: Logged Joseph L. Kleiman Master Film Handler Posts: 380 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Apr 2005 posted 10-25-2005 10:16 AM                     Last night at ShowEast, Disney only showed 15 minutes of Chicken Little in 3D. A number of shots were sent back by Disney to ILM last week to get a more immersive feeling. The full 3D conversion with the new shots is expected to be completed by Wednesday with the film world premiering on Sunday.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

What the hell, man.  |  IP: Logged Wolff King Morrow Master Film Handler Posts: 490 From: Denton, TX, USA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 10-25-2005 04:28 PM                        Yeah, seems like they are really pushing the deadline if shots are getting sent back that late. BTW, have you guys heard of people who cannot see in 3D? Its something to do with not having developed that part of their brain in their early childhood. That would suck to not be able to see 3D.  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 10-25-2005 07:44 PM                        My roommate actually has that exact condition. There was damage to one of his eyes when he was young. Although the technology to fix what's wrong with the eye does exist, and it's a fairly simple procedure, his brain had adapted to favor the other eye early enough that the procedure would not be effective at this stage in his life (30). The brain would continue to "ignore" the input from the fixed eye, with (to my knowledge) no way of ever "conditioning" the brain to understand. He's legally blind in one eye, and hence, has no depth perception. He's not bitter that he can't see in 3D. He, like his brain, just learned to adapt his view of the world with what he's given. quote: HEY, DISNEY: RENDER THE OTHER FREAKIN EYE! What? Did they actually run some algorithm CONVERSION to simulate 3D, or did they render independent camera "eyes" like they should have, and had no reason not to do?  |  IP: Logged Joseph L.

Strange how things like that happen some times! I could see that proximity in a big city, but not the northern suburbs of Cincinnati OH.  |  IP: Logged Amanda Jones Film Handler Posts: 92 From: Indianapolis, IN, USA Registered: Aug 2005 posted 10-27-2005 02:57 AM                     We received our 3d glasses today. 10,000 If we were to sell out every time we ran the show it would take us only a week to run out of glasses but I don't look for us to sell out every single show. Might on the weekends since we are the only theater in Indianapolis (Contrary to belief Plainfield is its own town) playing in digital.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

There are programmable inputs and outputs. Can't have that digital running during a fire.  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 10-29-2005 06:26 PM                     Here's a near-final U.S. & Canada locations list for the 3-D DLP showings of "Chicken Little" [Arranged by exhibitor; for a list arranged by location and for the 2-D DLP venues, please visit www.FromScriptToDVD.com] ACCESS DIGITAL New York, NY: Pavilion AMC Lake Buena Vista, FL: Pleasure Island 24 Leawood, KS: Town Center 20 Houston, TX: Willowbrook 24 CENTURY Daly City, CA: Century 20 San Jose, CA: Century 20 Oakridge CINEPLEX GALAXY Vaughan, ON, Canada: Colossus Woodbridge Mississauga, ON, Canada: SilverCity CINETOPIA Vancouver, WA: Cinetopia CLASSIC Oak Park, IL: Lake CROWN Annapolis, MD: Annapolis Mall 11 Skokie, IL: Village Crossings 18 DICKINSON Lee's Summit, MO: Eastglen 16 DISNEY/PACIFIC Los Angeles, CA: El Capitan HALLETT Bellevue, WA: Bellevue Galleria Stadium 11 Meridian, ID: Majestic Sunnyside, WA: Grand Cinemas Yakima Valley HARKINS Peoria, AZ: Arrowhead Fountains 18 Tempe, AZ: Arizona Mills 24 KERASOTES Coon Rapids, MN: ShowPlace 16 Evansville, IN: Stadium 16 Indianapolis, IN: ShowPlace 16 Schererville, IN: ShowPlace 12 LOEKS/CELEBRATION!

Also, I figured the reason it took so long for the chains to negotiate which theatres would get a 3d digital projector was so they would have it exclusively in their market. 2 confirmed theatres (by box office brochure) in the NY market, the City Center 15(N/A) and New Roc City 18(Regal), are only 10 miles apart. What sense does this make when there are several whole states that won't be getting these projectors at all?? Im not familiar with the rest of the country, but is this the case anywhere else? Why would N/A, Regal, or even Disney want to put two of these so close together? I will try to scan/take a pic of the brochure One more thing, my theatre got 2 of these projectors(Barco). They are all set up and ready to show the film. Is anyone else getting 2 3d projectors?  |  IP: Logged Amanda Jones Film Handler Posts: 92 From: Indianapolis, IN, USA Registered: Aug 2005 posted 11-01-2005 12:54 AM                     Kerasotes is adding a $1.00 surcharge and not allowing employees to see the movie for free. We got 1 digital projector and Plainfield Indiana which is only 20 minutes via I465 from us I believe got at least 1 but I wouldn't be surprised if they got 2. They are a new theater just opening up so that is why there 2 chains within good distance with a digitial projector. I'm excited. We are training Tuesday at 9 am.  |  IP: Logged
