Which little giant do you have? The one they show on TV or the huge commercial version?
We have the fold up kind you can haul around in a pickup bed. It's pretty handy for some small work. Bucket lifts and crane trucks get used for the bigger things. Of course, you can't fit a crane truck inside a movie theater.

We have two handy tools for such things...a laser range meter (accurate to +/- 1.5mm) and a fibrglass collapsable pole.
Steve, thanks for that good info. What laser range meter do you have?

Tim, Hilti....don't have the model number handy. Heck, I even use it for setting reflector to film plane working distances!

Measuring existing frames is a given since in some locations due to incorrect plans,site inspections, or last minute fire department decisions, the frames may be required to be cut down to fit and the front end installer cutting and re-grommet the screen frabric; so the screen label may be wrong

3 months have passed since I posted a rundown of Carmike Cinemas Christie/AIX DLP installations. This update shows all Carmike locations, which gives a better idea of how far the conversion has progressed.

Carmike and Real-D recently announced a deal to equip 500 booths with Real-D systems. So this list reflects locations with existing Real-D installations and others that, according to the Real-D website, are coming soon.

That list must be a little out of date, becasue the Carmike 10 in Huntsville, AL has been advertising all DLP projection for a while. So they're going to upgrade the Carmike 8 in Decatur (an old Fairlane/Litchfield construction from 1982)? I'm a bit surprised they're doing that instead of building a new modern stadium theatre somewhere in Decatur. I don't think I've been in the Carmike 8 in 2 years (actually, the last time I was in any theatre was in May 2006). Maybe it's time I pay all the theatres a visit again and see some movies and see if anything has changed.

I am doubting they actually have them at Cole Square 3 in Cheyenne.... Its second run and a real dump. One light down from our customers 12 screen which far outgroses all the Carmikes in Cheyenne combined.

I noticed something in Bobby's post. He lists how many dlp's Carmike has in that state yet the total number of screens is more than the total DLP's so I would say that some of the theatres on the list are not equiped.

I have heard the Carmike 10 here in Richmond's South Side has gone digital. Did not see it on the list above, but a visit to Carmike's website lists almost all movies as digital.

I'm sorry I couldn't make the list easier to read. The posting format would not accept tab stops to show DLP installations in another neat column.

Instead, the city and location name are listed. If there are any DLP systems installed in that theater the number of systems installed are shown after a comma to the right of the location name.

I chose to do this to show Carmike is a little past the halfway point on their plan to install 2300 Christie/AIX systems. Some states, such as Georgia, already have most of the locations finished. Others, like Arkansas, have a long way to go.

The (new) notations list changes that have happened in the last 3 months. Some locations have had full installs done. Others already equipped with a few digital systems have had additional units installed. 500 Real D systems will be installed over the next few months. Perhaps quite a few of that number will be put in ahead of Meet the Robinsons.

Both my latest update and the list I posted back in late October show the Carmike 10 in Huntsville having Christie/AIX systems on all 10 screens.

I should point out Carmike has some conflicting information on their own website. On each location's showtimes page the number of digital-equipped screens is listed near the top of the page. Some theaters clearly all-DLP-equipped may still list "zero digital screens," while others that really only have half the screens converted may claim digital is on every screen at the top of the page. Usually it takes jumping between the DCinemaToday website and looking closely at the sound/projection info on individual show listings for each screen to come up with an accurate number.

Carmike's website lists that theater as being located in the SW Richmond suburb of Midlothian, not actually as Richmond itself. That location now has all 10 screens equipped with Christie/AIX systems. 5 new more systems were recently installed.

Or you could ask me for help in sorting out the numbers.

Is that response supposed to function as some kind of trump card? One to trump something posted months ago? JFC!

Consider the tone of your most recent response and understand why I'll just say, "no, thanks." Not only do you act like you know everything, you act like you OWN this trivia somehow as well.

I suspect you have your panties in a bunch because I'm posting this info about Carmike's D-Cinema project in this Film Tech thread rather than forwarding it over to your own web site. As I said before, you don't own this information. It's public knowledge. Copy and paste it into your website for all I care. Putting together a list like that isn't any great accomplishment, certainly not anything I'm going to brag about. I cited D Cinema Today and Carmike's website as sources and merely repeated it here for the convenience of other Film-Tech members. Mike, if you have a problem with that then that's just tough shit.

Your thinking on why you believe I have my "panties in a bunch" is entirely incorrect, but it's probably because you've misinterpreted my previous post. (My remark was a statement, not a question.) To clarify, my point was: if you would simply acknowledge my work then your postings might be more comprehensive.

Trivia? Seems more like "spin" on your part. It's certainly trivia to the people who have little or no interest, but no subject is trivial to those who have an interest. But judging by the frequency and average word count of your postings as well as the intensity of your opinions, I'd say that you do not consider this Digital Cinema subject to be trivial...and I think this is evident to most readers.

If you weren't so dismissive about my corrections to your posts and, more importantly, to my work, then maybe there'd be more respect between us. I used to think you were really cool and that you wrote with a great deal of knowledge and passion. (But lately, Mark Ogden's use of the word "bloviate" comes to mind...) I remember the epic letters you used to write to the editor of Widescreen Review magazine back when the Readers' Letters section was the most interesting section of the mag. But for the last few years it sure seems like there's this insane "competitiveness" between us...and it's annoying. But, [sigh] I realize I've contributed to it, so...I will strive to make a greater effort to eliminate the antagonism at my end. The rest will be up to you.

I put together that list of DLP-equipped Carmike theaters completely on my own. Why do you need any acknowledgment over it? Why should I have to go through you to do such a thing either? You don't "own" that data or have any kind of "gatekeeper" right over it. Further, there's hardly anything at all worth owning. The list isn't that big a deal. I'm even surprised at my self for bothering to do it considering the negative attitude many have toward Carmike Cinemas in general.

This stuff is indeed "trivia" is a larger scheme of things, even when we're just talking about the movie industry in general. It's actual value is not very high, even with my own interest in the subject taken into account. The only real value of that Carmike list is its context within this Carmike-related thread.

That's your own perception. I couldn't care less about who is the "king geek of all movie tech trivia." I, and most others, simply don't enjoy being talked down to like an idiot for writing something that is incorrect or just not worded in the correct manner.

Amassing lists of movie tech trivia might be fun, but it doesn't accomplish anything significant. The people who invent movie making technology and further refine and perfect it are actually doing something significant. So are the folks who use that technology to make great movies or show them in high standards of quality.
