(c/o) Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 05-10-2004 08:26 PM                    Gracia, 20 minute reels or 6000 footers?  |  IP: Logged Gracia L. Babbidge Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 709 From: Bowdoin, Maine Registered: Aug 2000 posted 05-11-2004 12:16 AM                        This would be my first time in a c/o booth. Not a hard transition to make at all. It's fun. Having worked with Century SA's before, working with the Century MSA does not seem like anything new & different. That would be 20 minute reels. I intend to get some pictures to show, sometime soon. Interesting booth! There is more space between floor & ceiling where the projectors are than the rest of the booth. I stand at 5'5", and in the 'upper' end of the booth, if I'm standing, there is about an inch and a half between the ceiling and the top of my head! One of my current co-workers was a student at Bowdoin college, with a film archiving major. In the fall she's off to England to earn her masters. :thumbup: The "staff" consists of five people, and one dog. John is the owner, thus the dude generally in charge. The dog is John's (large mutant variety) Pomeranian, named Bruno. The rest of us are all girls. Renee, Emma, Audrey ~film archivist~, and myself (youngest to eldest). It's a fun environment. And for the curious, the concesstion stand has pepsi products, as well as ocean spray slushies, jordan almonds, and real butter on the popcorn!  |  IP: Logged Kyle Caudill Film Handler Posts: 92 From: Wichita Falls, TX Registered: May 2002 posted 05-11-2004 02:27 AM                     nothing like changing a marquee when it is snowing and lugging hot water up and down a ladder to melt the ice off to change the letters....  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

Babbidge Having worked with Century SA's before, working with the Century MSA does not seem like anything new & different. That's becuse the only difference between the SA and MSA is the method used to drive the projector and soundhead, and the gear ratios of the mainshaft and lower vertical shaft gears. Welcome back, you will find changeovers far more challenging (and more fun) than boring platters -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Paul Cassidy Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 549 From: Auckland, New Zealand Registered: Aug 2001 posted 05-11-2004 12:14 PM                        I would only really like to work with 20min Reels , as it keeps you busy .... but are you re striking the lamps or leaving them on ? as with Carbons I would try to find a spot in the film to strike up without making it noticeable that you about to change over .  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 05-12-2004 07:20 AM                     Gracia you're alive!
