Author Topic: Who Is Installing Digital Projection For "Chicken Little"? Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX. (North of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-02-2005 09:21 AM                     Wow, not being able to pre-screen is not good. When my DLP releases come in, the studios have paid a third party company to screen it. Why? I don't know. I have everything setup when the tech arrives anyway. My servers are NOT hooked to the network at all. Don't want any nasty viruses as my servers are currently Windows based.  |  IP: Logged Barry Floyd Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1079 From: Lebanon, Tennessee, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-02-2005 09:35 AM                        Does anyone have a photo of one of these new Digital installations??  |  IP: Logged Amanda Jones Film Handler Posts: 92 From: Indianapolis, IN, USA Registered: Aug 2005 posted 11-02-2005 11:11 AM                     quote: Mark J. Marshall Wow. That's really interesting. So I wonder what happens when you have a school showing before operating hours or something like that. I honestly don't know. I'm guessing we would have to go through Dolby/Disney about that. We had nothing to do with the booking of our press screening tomorrow night. That was all done via our film buyer.  |  IP: Logged Jesse Skeen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1517 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 11-02-2005 12:14 PM                     So who's gonna be the first to pirate this movie?  |  IP: Logged Eric Hooper Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 532 From: Fort Worth, TX, USA Registered: May 2003 posted 11-02-2005 12:28 PM                     Loews Metreon SF is charging $2 extra.

Though most movie piraters are idiots anyway so who knows.  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 11-02-2005 02:33 PM                        We have had people trying to pirate IMAX 3D movies by attempting to shoot with 2 DVcams held up to a pair of 3D glasses BTW does anyone know who is making/installing the silver screens? MDI?  |  IP: Logged Amanda Jones Film Handler Posts: 92 From: Indianapolis, IN, USA Registered: Aug 2005 posted 11-02-2005 02:58 PM                     Franklin Designs is who did our screens in our company and they are coming out tonight to replace ours because it is blotchy.  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

A bunch of returned screens sure don't help the bottom line.  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

But it was on a timer so that it wouldn't be valid until 12:01am Wednesday. It validated the feature through the 11th, at which point we should be expecting another license key to be shipped, so we can play the movie for another week. We had our training, learned a little of the ins-and-outs of the Dolby Digital projection thing, and we screened Chicken Little tonight. My review has been posted. quote: Dick Vaughan Can anyone post a pic of [the 3D glasses]? Here are the glasses. And here is me wearing the glasses. Sorry, I didn't yet get a shot of our projector setup ... but, if it's allowable, I'll try.  |  IP: Logged Wolff King Morrow Master Film Handler Posts: 490 From: Denton, TX, USA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 11-03-2005 05:09 AM                        Here's a link to a picture of the Barco projector from their site: Barco Dp100 The Z-filter is just a rectangle piece of LCD glass that hangs in front of the lens  |  IP: Logged Mike Babb Master Film Handler Posts: 250 From: Norwich UK Registered: Jul 2002 posted 11-03-2005 06:50 AM                        "Nothing came OUT of the screen. It was all flush to the screen and receding from it, so it had a little depth, but nothing engrossing or pulling you into the film." Brian and others, this describes what it looked like when the left eye/right eye settings were backwards on one install. You should call Dolby but you can test it by flipping the glasses to see if the 3D effect improves. The Dolby trailer numbers and logo should come right out to your nose, the Chicken Little logo should too. If the glasses flip works, call them because there is a phase switch and settings in the software on the projector to fix it. It may be as easy as flipping a switch. I helped in 6 installs and have seen the demo in 4 of them so far and it looks great.  |  IP: Logged
