I am the Assistant Cinema Technician for "A Large Cinema Chain" In the Newcastle Suburbs, New South Wales. I have been here for 1.5 years. I am NOT here on behalf of my company, nor will I be talking about "company secrets" (Just in case any company execs are reading this). I am just here for my own personal enjoyment of the wonderful Film Medium. My job is that of a standard Projectionist (Running shows, Making up features, Booth cleaning) but I also service the projectors and audio racks, and carry out general building maintenance. Before my current job I worked at the “James Theatre” in Dungog, NSW for two years as head projectionist. It is a single screen, change-over, carbon arc house with 250 seats and DTS. The projectors there are Cummings & Wilson (C&W) Model: “EH Senior” (Which were built in 1929 and are still running today) sitting on top of an RCA sound head converted to Jaxlite. The perfect setup if you’re into Carbons and Change-overs, the audience gets the experience… without even knowing it!

I dunno much, but i really wanna get trained up to par, speaking of which, Brad, e-mail me please, I have a few questions to ask you in private  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 08-05-2004 06:51 PM                     Hello all: I'm a projection technician, working self-employed for the last 8 years. I also run the screening room at University of California, Irvine as well as doing rentals of 35mm (and soon, 70mm)projection equipment. Originally from Canton, Ohio, moved to Cali in 1974, did time in Air Force/ANG before leaving mil duty to move to Nor Cal. Returned here to So Cal and started the biz! My grandfather was really into electronics, he built his own record cutting lathe, 35mm sound on film for his home movies(!)and other electronic goodies.  |  IP: Logged Rick Raskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1100 From: Manassas Virginia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 08-08-2004 09:44 AM                     I am retired from Verizon Communications where I was on their technical staff, specializing in broadband technologies. Prior to that I worked as an IA projectionist in Washington DC and the Metro area. Most of the theatres back then had changeover booths and carbon arcs although xenons and automation were beginning to be introduced. I ran just about every type of machine and format that was available. The Union required two operators when we ran 70mm and nitrate. I had the dubious honor of being one of the two operators in the booth of the AFI Theatre where the last nitrate fire occurred in March 1975. I still enjoy keeping tabs with the business and all the technology. I guess once it gets into your blood, its there forever.

My boss said that everybody that joins should come here first, so here goes. I work at an AMC in Virginia on the weekends as a Projectionist. I've been upstairs for about three years now, and from what I've seen on this site there's a lot more to learn.

I work at Dreamplex Cinemas in beautiful Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We're a move-over house playing prints after the big guys wreck them. I was hired as a projectionist when we opened last summer, and now somehow I'm in charge of staff schedules, showtimes, stock, maintenance, pretty much everything except marketing and booking. This makes it hard to give the booth my undivided attention, but this site had taught me a lot, and once I'm done browsing all 256 pages of the FT forums (I'm on page 30 now) I'm sure I'll have a million questions for you all. And for the record, we're a 5-screen running all PRO-35s with Strong lamphouses and platters, and only Dolby-SR for sound, which still sounds pretty darn good.  |  IP: Logged Brent Neal Jones Expert Film Handler Posts: 211 From: Ennis, T.X., USA Registered: Nov 2001 posted 09-10-2004 11:07 PM                     Hey guys, I'm Brent Jones. I've been involved in a theatre in some way for at least ten years. I've cleaned, managed, operated, installed, maintained, and even stripped. I've always worked for independents and I've enjoyed every minute of it. I'm twenty-two years old, I love theatres and cars. I spend most of my time on both. I enjoy meeting people and listening to them. I'm a hawaiian-flowered freak that makes people laugh and I enjoy dry humor. This makes things all the more interesting in the concession stand. I don't consider myself the best, just trying to be better than the rest. Anything I left out you can gather from my posts, great to know you guys! That's all... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Signature Bandit [ 10-09-2004, 02:36 AM: Message edited by: Brent Neal Jones ]  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

Only between shows though, I love to wear a tux to work sometimes but they will get so dirty if you wear them all night and dry cleaning is soo expensive.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!
