Author Topic: Rialto in India Bernard Tonks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Cranleigh, Surrey, England Registered: Apr 2001 posted 07-20-2002 11:18 AM                     There's a new book out, Bollywood Showplaces Cinema Theatres In India. Every day in India, more than twenty million people go to the cinema. www.india-cinema.co.uk  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-21-2002 04:15 AM                     Don, don't you just love working for people like that? Gerard, it's possible the owner has lost so much of his hearing that boosting the 4K and up frequencies is what it really does take for it to sound good to him.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-21-2002 11:44 AM                     I have run into the high freqency issue with most indian theatres I have delt with over the years  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-21-2002 12:48 PM                     Gordon, How do you deal with the High Frequency issue in Indian Movie Theatres? I understand that you run quite a few Bollywood films in one of your very up-scale rooms and I'll bet that you don't adjust the EQ for them. How do your audiences like hearing their films there? I'm sure they are getting educated to likeing a proper EQ. If Indian movie theatres tend to EQ the highs hot, how do Indian sound mixers EQ their soundtracks?  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 07-21-2002 01:02 PM                     Listen to the opening themes of Ghost World or Monsoon Wedding. Catchy music, sure, but it sounds worse than AM radio! OTOH Variety reported last week that 20th Century Fox is planning to produce 3-4 movies a year in India for the Bollywood market. A little Hollywood polish with a possibility of crossing over to North America?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-21-2002 01:39 PM                     Actually I do have a slightly brighter eq as eq8 in the DEQ in the sonics rack that I use for them  |  IP: Logged
