The time has come for "Film-Tech.Com" merchandise to hit the cyberstore. I for one am ready to buy...Jacket, Coffee Mug, Shot Glass, T- Shirt, Photo-Album, Lapel Pin..
How about others..what do you think? Add your thoughts.

Let's not get too carried away. Coffee Mug and T-Shirt would be sufficient for me... No need to go overboard.

What? No Film-Tech underwear?

I have a Film-Tech cap. I'll sell it to one of you for $25,000.

I want an "officially licensed" Film-Tech fraternity pin.

Just think... Brad's new motto...
"Film-Tech... The Fraternity of Projectionist"

Let me know when those Film-Tech T-shirts, Sweat Shirts and even Joe's boxers (not Joe's actual boxers!) are availalbe.. I'll send my check!

As I sit here in my:

Rialto t-shirt,
Ace Audio Visual polo shirt,
UA boxer shorts (You remember those, Joe?),
UA jacket,
with my Telluride Film Festival hat,
Mountainfilm sweatshirt,
While carrying my UA umbrella,

I'm thinking, "What's Missing?"

Well, to complete the outfit, I'm guessing I need Film-Tech pants.

If it wasn't for the free cloths I have received over the years from my employers, I would be naked!

Seriously, Where's the t-shirts?

P.S. I have traded t-shirts with three other theatres up till now. It's not a bad hobby.


 


Posted by Brad Miller (Member # 2) on 03-23-2001, 02:34 PM:
 
The T-shirts, hats and boxers may come along in the not too distant future, but it will have to wait a couple of months due to my schedule. Not to worry though, Joe has already volunteered to inspect and test every pair of boxers by wearing them for 3 days straight before they ship out.

 
Posted by Joe Redifer (Member # 3) on 03-23-2001, 05:35 PM:
 
Yes, and that doesn't include washing them after I wear them. Hell, that might increase the value!

Where is the Film-Tech videogame?

Joe said: >>I have a Film-Tech cap. I'll sell it to one of you for $25,000.<<

Only $25,000??? Joe! Don't be foolish! Throw it up on eBay and get twice...even three times that amount!

This we could actualy pull off. All we need to do is find a micro brewery around here that has a beer like Newcastle and then we have them bottle us a batch with Film-Tech lables on them. We leave it up to Joe or somebody to do up the lables. Then we will have a beer for next year's ShoWest.


 


Posted by Brad Miller (Member # 2) on 03-25-2001, 04:17 PM:
 
I will only agree to the Film-Tech beer if it is bottled in FilmGuard bottles. That way we can scare people who see us drinking it (kinda like Bruce). The color should be close enough to be convincing.

How about the Film-Tech tribute to 80's bands cover album. Personally sung by Brad himself. I know a great DJ that could supply you with the background stuff. Songs that you could cover?:

Any New Kids On The Block Song-that would be great
Loverboy:Everyboy is working for the weekend.
Tommy Tutone: 867-5309
Jefferson Starship: We Built This City
Both songs that Marky Mark Wahlberg sang in Boogie Nights.
REO Speedwagon: I Cant Fight This Feeling Anymore.
Culture Club: Chameleon
Whoever did that song in Dirty Dancing: Time Of My Life

Come on let's talk record deal and music video.

OK I can sell it for $20,000, but no less! I won't be talked down any more!


 


Posted by Brad Miller (Member # 2) on 03-26-2001, 10:02 PM:
 
Joe, you're crazy! Wear the thing for a day so you can sell it for $30,000. For an extra $5000 you can include one of those certificates of authenticity stating that you wore it.
 
Posted by Joe Redifer (Member # 3) on 03-27-2001, 01:45 AM:
 
Here is a picture of me actually wearing the hat. Not only am I wearing it, but it's on Film-Tech for the world to see!

Now how much is it worth?


 


Posted by Rachel Carter (Member # 693) on 03-27-2001, 02:21 AM:
 
Just from looking at that picture I think it would bring the value down about $15,000. The certificate would be fine WITHOUT the picture!

Sorry Joe

Posted by Joe Redifer (Member # 3) on 03-27-2001, 04:48 AM:
 
What if I hand deliver the hat? Surely people would pay an extra $10,000 just for that alone!
 
Posted by Bob Maar (Member # 763) on 03-27-2001, 07:14 AM:
 
Joe, Please deliver the "Film-Tech" hat to Central Park, in New York City. Meet me at the Fountain in the center of the park, just off 72nd Street. Come alone. You will recognise me by the ski cap over my face and I'll be wearing sun glasses. Oh, yes we will meet at exactly midnight on Saturday.

How about some:
-Cell phone faceplates
-Shirts that say "Kiss me... I'm a Film-Techer"
-Film tech: the towel
-Film tech: the mylar
-a film guard button for all theatre employees to wear

But seriously... a good idea (if it didn't cost so much $$$) would be a Film-Tech policy trailer... you could even incorporate some of Ian's theatre patron rules!!!

A Film-Tech Policy trailer would be cool.

I don't think it would be too expensive, you could just get Joe to create a Flash Movie. Export it at 2K or 4K.

Running it out to film (to create the printing negative) would be the most expensive part, prices I've seen range from $400/min for a CRT film recorder to approx $800/min for an Arri-laser. So if the trailer was only 30 sec's and a few were sold the individual prints shouldn't cost too much. The actual prints would only be a few tens of $'s.

About the policy trailer... remember, you could only show it on-screen if you contacted your theatre chain and convinced them to let you. If you were to show it on-screen without your chain's approval, I'm sure they would be angry.........

John and Gregg could duke it out in the square ring (Cordell will be the Ref.)

In case of a tie Dwayne Caldwell will be the judge.

John Wilson will move to the USA and head up our America's cup Challenge.

Ethan Harper and Gordon Mcleod will swap jobs...just to show it can be done.

Brad Miller will move to New York City and find out what he has been missing all these years.

Bobby Henderson will deceide that he no longer can stand Oklahoma and will ride the NYC subways one more time.

Betsie Alecia will post her picture and receive over a thousand proposals. [Smile]

Evans will move out of Huntsville and open a school in South Carolina where he will run for Senator.

Actually, I have ran out of them. Maybe I should make another batch and add them to the FilmGuard recycling program?
 
Posted by Daryl C. W. O'Shea (Member # 1303) on 02-04-2004, 03:56 PM:
 
FilmGuard: Recyclable were facilities exist.

Film-Tech shirts: while supplies last.

What exactly does one have to do to get a FT shirt?

I knwo you are supposed ot get one after 5,000 posts but what else can you do?

And, no Phil, I wont do "that" for one. [evil]
 
Posted by Manny Knowles (Member # 1171) on 02-04-2004, 06:45 PM:
 
You get a shirt for that?

I guess mine's in the mail.
 
Posted by Brad Miller (Member # 2) on 02-04-2004, 08:17 PM:
 
I gave them out at ShoWest a couple of years ago to anyone with 500 or more posts. Other than that, they haven't been distributed.

Daryl, I was speaking of the recycling program for the cores used on the media pads. While lots of people do use it, there are tons who don't take advantage of it.

Anyone who wants a film-tech "T" Shirt, must submit a thousand word essay on why f-t is the best web site on the net.

Please send all entries to Phil Hill.

Only the winner will receive a shirt.

Oh, and it may be used and have some stains.

I have the PERFECT idea for a F-T t-shirt, etc...that would display Brad and Joe's sunny disposition [Big Grin] [Razz] .

Some of you are too young to remember...but what I am about to describe was in fact a very popular t-shirt from the 1970's...and it should be resurected just for F-T...

As an added bonus, one can always add a "phrase" to the shirt regarding "film-handlers" and "cinema-chains" that suck! [Big Grin] [Big Grin]

Well...here goes...

Anyone remember the t-shirts with the silk-screened image of The Adams Family "Cousin ITT" giving the "birdie" " " [fu] "?

Another WONDERFUL idea...my brilliant brain at work again!

A projector being operated by "Big Daddy" Ed Roth's "Rat Fink"! [Big Grin] [beer] [thumbsup]

Okay, so it's been almost another year already. Where is the Filme-Teche-Shoppe? Where are the shirts and hats and boxers and thneeds? I've never seen such a blatant disregard for potential profits since I set foot in a theater without slides! Get on the ball, people!!

And for that matter, whatever happened to Film-Tech Jr.?

Sorry Tom, we were working on our line of Cootzilla T-shirts, but the artist has been too busy to complete them.

Do we have any artists in the house? [Big Grin]

Well, I found this thread by accident looking for something else. Don't ask why I was searching for "boxers"...it's better that you don't.
Anyhow, I'll bite!

The hell with t-shirts. What I would like Film-Tech to produce is a roll of stickers, saying

ATTENTION PROJECTIONIST!
Visit film-tech.com
for projection advice, great
jokes and more...featuring

...or something like that. These stickers would be available to FT members at a reasonable price per roll.

We members would then stick them on the inside of film cans, on reels or wherever else they would get noticed. Because the sad fact is, many "projectionists" probably don't know about FT and they might just improve their presentation a bit if they did.

As for the sticker idea: remember when MGM/UA had those reel end leader sticker doodads that we were supposed to put on when we shipped their prints back to them that practically nobody did use since they were so cheesy?

Make stickers small enough for film holdown when shipping out..wouldn't the depots love us for this..(since half of the time,they don't inspect the prints on return anywho.....lol)

I actually stumbled upon this site when I first started at Carmike because I had heard about brainwraps and wanted to learn how to prevent them. I Googled the word brainwrap and came here.

I'll have to see about making reel end stickers. Not sure how to distribute them though. About the only thing I can think of would be to stuff FG kits with them.

I'm not sure if this has been brought up or if anyone has used them, but http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/sell/ apparently is a place you might try.

I actually have a cafepress shop ... I really set it up as a joke at first, but it's actually not that bad ("it" meaning cafepress, not my shop). If you do set up a cafepress shop, I can refer you if you'd like.

There are so few gals on FT as it is, I'm not sure we could make 12 months. Plus Ms. December (Phil Hill) wanted too much money for the shoot. [Razz]

Hey! Grand-Poopie-BAH, that's Ms. Martha to you!

My official comment is: "No Comment."

(Why do I have this uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach that there soon will be another degrading and discusting photoshopped pic for my "official" ID pic?)

BTW: "gals"? Holy cow! Where did you dig up that word?

I think by girls he meant projectors...
But I'd buy it... [Roll Eyes]

Oh and I have a cafepress shop as well. It seems to work fairly well actually and the products are decent quality, as advertised.
