I have also worked in film production as a cinematographer & Director and have also custom built a few cinema speaker systems. My latest speaker was a 1/4 wavelength subwoofers. I also know alot about restoring old altec boxes & believe me when I say that it is better to restore than replace.

I've been a Technician (general dogs body) with Cineworld in the UK of 5 years now. Love the job and consider myself to be pretty much a perfectionist. I've upset a few managers with the NO word when I've been too busy to change a toilet light bulb, but think my 14 screen booth is pretty well run. I'm now in Ashton-Under-Lyne near Manchester, England but have also been in Swindon's 12 screen (where we did the Dolby Beta test for their DLP server), and Llandudo's 9 screener. No problems with the company (apart from the usual gripes) and look forward to many years of using real film (Digital is still too immature, in my opinion).  |  IP: Logged Jonas Soderqvist Film Handler Posts: 1 From: Enskede, Stockholms kommun/Södermanland, Sweden Registered: Apr 2007 posted 04-30-2007 04:58 AM                     Well... I'm Swedish. I work at Astoria Cinemas brand new (well, september last yer) cinema in Sickla, Stockholm. Apparently we are the only ones in Sweden who is using Christie machines, so I thought it might be a good idea to check in here and read some tips on how to use those monsters. I also work at the art house cinema Zita and occasionally at a small cinema called Refelxen, in Kärrtorp (nice info for all you Swedes here...)  |  IP: Logged Damien Taylor Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Perth, Western Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 05-05-2007 01:47 AM                     I'm in Perth, Currambine to be exact for all the Perthites out there.. all 3 or so of them. Perth is the one that doesn't get rain every day. (See: Melbourne) Trying to break into the industry, before film officially dies at chain cinemas. It's hard to show your passion on paper. Belgian beer is pretty choice IMHO Perth film-techians should organize an outing!  |  IP: Logged Steve Maggs Film Handler Posts: 22 From: Brisbane , Australia Registered: Apr 2000 posted 05-16-2007 10:45 PM                     I'm in Brisbane Australia.
