Author Topic: How'd You Get Here? Michael Barry Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 584 From: Sydney, NSW, Australia Registered: Nov 1999 posted 02-19-2001 08:22 AM                     My projection mentor, guru and all-round awesome entity John Wilson pointed me in this direction. I remember saying one day that I wished there was more traffic on rec.arts.movies.tech and he suggested coming here! Colin Wiseley Expert Film Handler Posts: 123 From: Blacksburg, VA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-19-2001 09:29 AM                     It came up when I searched for the word "projectionist" on Yahoo back in the fall of 99. ------------------ Colin Wiseley Lyric Theatre Blacksburg, VA www.thelyric.com Joe Smith Film Handler Posts: 56 From: Dale City, Va. USA Registered: Oct 1999 posted 02-19-2001 10:22 AM                     In May '99 I became interested in the possibility of re-opening a drive-in theatre in my hometown and started searching the web for info on drive-ins and projection equipment. Somewhere during the search I stumbled over a link to this site and registered. Been lurking here ever since. Although I didn't actually open the drive-in, I belong to a non-profit community organization that did reopen it in 2000! www.hullsdrivein.com Matt Adams Film Handler Posts: 4 From: Batavia & Peoria, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 02-19-2001 02:41 PM                     i was researching the use of xenon bulbs for a school project in the fall of 99, and found the pages on improving presentation, and made my co-workers read it. Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-19-2001 03:21 PM                     I found it when Ken Layton referred me to the ground level forum about information pertaining to Regal. Aaron Mehocic Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 804 From: New Castle, PA, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-19-2001 05:37 PM                     A Yahoo search in May of '99. My first post was in response to the crap Lucas was pulling with revenues from Episode I. I was shocked that the web master answered one of my questions personally. Thanks Brad! Stephen Jones Master Film Handler Posts: 314 From: Geelong Victoria Australia Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-19-2001 05:39 PM                     I found Film-tech by searching the Internet for sites on projection and tech stuff etc.Its the only site which has been helpful and have meet via the chat room some good people.

Oddly enough, I had been an active participant on rec.arts.movies.tech since 1995 and never saw a reference to film-tech on that group. John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 02-19-2001 08:52 PM                        Interesting, the variety of ways each of us found our way to this site. One sure way to grow the participation is to personally "spread the word" about Film-Tech. If each of us gets a friend or colleague to actively participate, the added diversity of backgrounds and expertise will make the discussions all the more interesting and helpful. If you know someone who has been "lurking", tell them to jump into the conversation --- you're among friends. ------------------ John P.

Sorry to hear about your marketing failure Brad. Only one person responded out of the hundreds of distributed pamphlets. Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 02-20-2001 12:52 PM                        I found out about it from a feature article in 'Cinema Technology', which is an industry magazine published by the British Kinematograph, Sound and Television Society. Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 02-21-2001 05:56 PM                        I was informed By TJ, a tech from MTS back in 99. One day I found a topic I wanted to say something about and thought, "what the hell" Josh Robert Golding Film Handler Posts: 65 From: Sutter, CA, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 02-22-2001 02:01 AM                     I was talking to Warren Blessing and he told me John Eickhof was posting on film-tech, so I took a look and decided to register. It also allowed me to get in touch with John. I met John in the late 70's here in California. I also saw a post about how you know if you are in California. Not bad.

Registered: Aug 1999 posted 02-22-2001 08:11 AM                     I first came to the site in Dec. 98 when it was called "Brad Miller and Associates." I only dropped in to have a look at the picture forum where there were only 3-4 different links. I was (and still am) amazed at the size of Bob Leaders Norelco monsters! Now I am hooked. Thanks Brad! NOTE: I had to re-register in 8/99 when the site had to be moved the first of many times.... ------------------ "It's the suspense that gets me!"--B. Bunny Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 03-04-2001 11:51 PM                        I found out about the site from one of two places.. an operator at a sister theatre.. or or sound tech.. I forget... But at any rate, I'm an avid user and reader of Brad's products, Film-Tech.com & Film-Gaurd. *Note to Brad* It's still ok to mail that product endoremenet check to my house! ops: ------------------ The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese!
