a good idea (if it didn't cost so much $$$) would be a Film-Tech policy trailer

A Film-Tech Policy trailer would be cool.

I don't think it would be too expensive, you could just get Joe to create a Flash Movie. Export it at 2K or 4K.

Running it out to film (to create the printing negative) would be the most expensive part, prices I've seen range from $400/min for a CRT film recorder to approx $800/min for an Arri-laser. So if the trailer was only 30 sec's and a few were sold the individual prints shouldn't cost too much. The actual prints would only be a few tens of $'s.

You are forgetting the costs to have Gary Rydstrom master the sound at Skywalker Ranch. This is a requirement!

What ever happened to the idea of "This print has been treated with FilmGuard" stickers?

What about business cards with those classic pick-up lines:

"Wanna step into my booth!?!"
"Wanna spin my sprockets!?!"
"Wanna feel my lense!?!"

Will Kutler would like all film-tech members to carry a card with his name. That way all the heat will be on him. He likes this. So do I.

About the policy trailer... remember, you could only show it on-screen if you contacted your theatre chain and convinced them to let you. If you were to show it on-screen without your chain's approval, I'm sure they would be angry.........

Also, don't forget to call you're corporate office and get permission to breathe and/or think (but not both). They hate it when the help starts doing such things that would never have occured to themselves.

(Psssst. Kyle, everyone is joking about the policy trailer. It will never even happen, unless of course I win the lottery and have nothing else to do with the money.)

will only agree to the Film-Tech beer if it is bottled in FilmGuard bottles. That way we can scare people who see us drinking it (kinda like Bruce). The color should be close enough to be convincing.

Just try look and taste the Tetleys Bitter, it looks the same!

Any comments Dick?
