Author Topic: Where did they go? Christopher Seo Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 530 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-24-2002 01:13 PM                     I'm lucky member #7. Wow Brad, I don't even remember this site being hosted by AOL... I do remember how the discussion pages looked before you switched to this current format. And that's about it. I can't even remember how I found this site, though it was actually before I started working as a projectionist. I had only run 16mm at home before. I've learned a heck of a lot since then, far more than I ever would have on the job, and occasionally can even contribute useful information to the discussions! (As opposed to asking questions, which is still my main forte.) P.S. If Joe is #3, and Brad is #2, who is the all-important #1?  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

Sorry if I ruined the surprise for anyone.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-27-2002 02:00 PM                        Gordon McLeod told me about Film-Tech, and my first posting was August 4, 1999. Over 4500 posts since then. BTW, I participate in a few dozen other movie-related sites, but Film-Tech is obviously one of my favorites.  |  IP: Logged Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 12-27-2002 03:15 PM                        Chris, I was amazed how young you were when I personally met you when you invited me to visit you at the Waikiki IMAX so you could give me a tour of the booth. Now I learn that as young as you are, you are a 'Charter' member of this forum. I am very happy that you made a career out of what you love doing - motion picture exhibition. I hope you are very happy where you are. As I had just mentioned in a thread I posted yesterday, going to the movies does not excite me anymore when Consolidated closed all of the Waikiki theatres. The Ward 16 are great theatres but being a person who do not like crowds, I do not enjoy going there anymore because they are always busy and the place has turned into a zoo. The only theatres I frequent now is the Kapolei 16 because it is very close to where I live and not too crowded. The presentation at these theatres are excellent but no way as great as the Waikiki and the Ward. -Claude  |  IP: Logged Christopher Seo Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 530 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-27-2002 04:53 PM                     Claude, Thanks for the kind words. This website definitely influenced my desire to do projection. I'll never forget the first time I stepped into a booth (the Varsity in Honolulu)... I was almost dizzy with excitement. However, it's unfortunate and depressing that magnificent theatres such as the Waikiki cannot be part of big companies' business models. The closing of such venues really dampens my enthusiasm for the industry.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 12-27-2002 05:18 PM                        Mark, If I triple my posts between now and October I will be posting from my ashes scattered over Newport bay. Just so all of you know the advantage I have over most of you is I only average two hours sleep per night. I use this special time which most people don't have to set my jokes for post. Once in a great while I sleep for three hours. Always feels funny. Anywhay that means that I am awake many more hours that the normal person. Is it a curse...not when you have www.film-tech.com We all have our crosses to bare. Oh! Now that I have read Rachel's I originally registered in August of 2000. That was juswt before I we3nt into the hospital and I registered as Robert Maar, I changes in 2001 to Bob. I have no idea what other number I had.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Carter Expert Film Handler Posts: 248 From: Gloucester, Massachusetts, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 12-28-2002 12:48 AM                     My old me....

I found the site by accident, lurked for a while, and decided these people were cool as hell and I should become a member! It really has made me become a better projectionist, even though I wasn't in a booth at the time I registered. Now, I can put all those wonderful tips and practices to use, including using FilmGuard!!! "Brad Miller and Associates" Have you been cheated on aspect ratio? Have you attended a film advertized as being in digital sound only to find it's in an analog house? Do you feel you are entitled to compensation? Call Brad Miller and Associates. Our law firm specializes in outing theaters with bad presentation which is unfair to its patrons. If you've been hurt by bad presentation, the law may limit the time you have to file a claim.
