A great thanks to everyone who was willing to appear onscreen for this! Definite fun times making this one.  |  IP: Logged Alan Gouger Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 501 From: Bradenton, FL, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 01-02-2009 10:49 AM                        Hilarious. Thanks to everyone who put their time into this it was great. Caught me off guard, I was expecting the real deal I got a kick out of the screen door for that digital look and the Vaseline to achieve pixel blend.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-02-2009 11:34 AM                        quote: Brad Miller Sadly much of the ideas did come from things we have seen done in booths. Sadly, I can relate a couple of those things I have witnessed too. A guy who used to run a drive-in here used masking tape and staples to splice film when he ran out of splice cement. Fortunately, they are no longer in business. I think the only ones I have done myself are some the methods used for opening film cans....gotta get creative sometimes! Great video guys. I wasn't expecting to see so many of the film-techers in there. I'll bet there was a huge wrap party, eh?  |  IP: Logged Benny Walters Film Handler Posts: 41 From: Columbus, OH USA Registered: Jul 2008 posted 01-02-2009 11:54 AM                     Great Video Guys! I had to pick myself of the floor from laughing so hard to post. I can't wait to show the rest of the booth staff. Kudos and Happy New Years to everyone at F-T.  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 01-02-2009 12:13 PM                     Personally, I prefer C4 plastic explosives to open those old film cans, but other than that, I found the promo filled with useful information. It would never have occurred to me to use staples to splice film. Thank you Film-Tech for all the helpful advice.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN! Posts: 1219 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: Nov 2003 posted 01-02-2009 12:14 PM                        I'm still wondering why this didn't get done back in 2003.  |  IP: Logged Ron Funderburg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 814 From: Chickasha, Oklahoma, USA Registered: Nov 2007 posted 01-02-2009 02:04 PM                        Loved it! I would like to say I have only seen any of this stuff on the video, except I don't like to fib!  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-02-2009 02:16 PM                     FILM DONE FUNNY!

That might have been me..it was a 70mm print of Howard's End (or was it Hamlet?) that I was building up at the Royal in West L.A...the chief projectionist was sitting in his chair laughing at me as I was running the film between my fingers off the MUT..he stopped laughing when I showed him the staples. And they were the heavy box staples, not the wussy paper ones. That video's sooo freakin funny..great job guys!!!  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-02-2009 03:13 PM                  Please upload the Film-Tech training promo to YouTube for many more to enjoy...  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 01-02-2009 03:30 PM                     Excellent idea Phil!!  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Film-Tech Training Video Film-Tech Advanced Training Video I think the mere Advanced training was best, personally. Though Phil licking the film was pretty funny stuff.
