Author Topic: FILM-TECH'S RIDICULOUSLY ADVANCED BOOTH TRAINING SEMINAR Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-01-2009 01:40 PM                  Joe's and Brad's direction and Joe's (as usual) editing and sound mix are spot on the money! Not to sound like a PC yahoo, but KuDOS to both! GREAT music! Who/What is the title/artist? BTW: I LUV the biz at door 205... "TWIRLING & DANCE TRAINING"...sign me up! My favorite bits are the SIMPLEX OIL LEVEL and Josh shooting the film shipping container...too funny! Great job to all involved!

The sad fact is that if we all pitched in our stories we'd probably find that just about everything in that video has actually been done. In fact I recall someone posting (possibly in the "you suck" thread) about a repertory print they were building up that cut them during inspection due to a splice made with a staple. And then there's the time I actually saw someone breaking down a film without a ring. It was a print of signs and as I was making the rounds coming on shift I noticed from the other end of the booth the print wasn't centered...Came over just be foreit slid off the platter and stopped the "projectionist" who didn't know why it was shifting!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-01-2009 02:08 PM                     quote: Dominic Espinosa The sad fact is that if we all pitched in our stories we'd probably find that just about everything in that video has actually been done. Sadly much of the ideas did come from things we have seen done in booths. quote: Tell us about the SFX/VFX[,] guys! Special effects? What special effects? Joe, there weren't any special effects were there?  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 01-01-2009 02:44 PM                     ..but true: the famous classic "tornado" that a STRONG platter can easily create.. Heard a story from one tech where an XL case was completely filled with oil - owner didn't know anything about the requirements of what an XL needs. Knew of one theatre that doing bulb alignment HAD to be done with the door opened..... It was an old CH-20 console with all the safeties removed with bulb controls on the back were long damaged, the company owner who had this theatre had no remorse on such safety factors..and it was "total" fun doing lateral bulb alignments with a 2k bulb blaring away where you gotta work at. Yep, truly a classic to see this! Excellent all the way! Brings back some memories of what I've seen in booths that I've visited ..and I had to walk away since I couldn't tell them how it's really supposed to be.. -Monte [ 01-01-2009, 05:09 PM: Message edited by: Monte L Fullmer ]  |  IP: Logged Jon Miller Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 973 From: San Diego, CA, USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-01-2009 04:08 PM                     Burning question...do staples from OfficeMax really work better than Staples' staples?
