Author Topic: What does your party room look like? Christopher Seo Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 530 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-03-2003 08:41 PM                     I pulled some relief shifts at a multiplex in Hawaii which had some truly bizarre architecture. On the second floor there were three projection booths, one or two offices, a couple party/meeting rooms (nothing special, just regular utilitarian rooms), an employee break room, and emergency exits for two auditoriums, which all shared the same hallway (and bathrooms, I might add). While sprinting from booth to booth I encountered birthday parties, churchgoers singing hymns, and patrons who couldn't read "Emergency Exit" signs wandering around in a daze. A very surreal place.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-05-2003 01:39 PM                     The Regal 18 in Royal Palm was supposed to have "party rooms" under the stadium seating, but they never put any a/c vents in them! So they became storage rooms. =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Scott D.

Next thing you'll be telling me that manager's offices and projection booths don't have proper HVAC. How absurd.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-09-2003 02:03 PM                        Admittedly, many theatres have very poor or no conditioning of the projection room environment. It's worth the added cost, both for operator comfort, and the improved performance of film and electronic equipment. For film, the optimum relative humidity is between 50 and 60 percent RH, with a comfortable temperature for the operator. HEPA filtration of the incoming air will help keep equipment and film much cleaner.  |  IP: Logged
