Shades here. Also looks like the pics were taken moments apart -Both TOTALLY ugly.(erm, worse you dont need see the pics on my staff card, Visa or Licience, so I take that back!)
OR my FilmTech Pic for that matter, WHY do you think I have the shades on in that pic!!
Paul, Was it you who visited me at the Orpheum on Sat Aug 28 ? All this discussion about your FT picture has me thinking.
I got a call on two-way that there was a 'tech' (I always put TECH in quotes) from New Zealand who would like a look around.
You or this 'person' said they had seen the cinema on the internet and that it would be cool to visit, since it was arthouse, voted best cinema in Australia 2004 and had 70mm.
If it was YOU, you KNOW there was a stuff-up as the main curtain in C#5 motor broke the night before.
I said, pretend the main curtain is going UP now during the overture, now the picture will hit and the silks will rise. Well they did'nt OPEN did they. We (You and I) cycled the c/b a few times and pressing OPEN, and finally they opened (I had visions of hand cranking behind the screen -and you would have been helping!)
The circuit breaker got replaced a few hours later, that fixed the silks, but I have not been back on shift there to know what was wrong with main curtain.
It was very unprofessional and embrassing. If it was not you, disregard this post, and everyone else should too.
