Why doesn't anyone ever make threads about videos, pictures, tips, etc that are posted on the front page? What is wrong with you people?

Anyway I enjoyed the video. It was almost like an advertising: "Featuring Dolby CP650s and Filmguard on every show!" Don't get me wrong, I thought it was pulled of rather well.

Many people might think it is an odd camera exposure error, but notice how the lights automatically turn on when the show ends. Where can I get light boxes like that and how much do they usually run for? I want to do this as well.

Nice Steadicam work and dof effects. Why isn't it flickering when the movie screens are shown? I don't understand this whitchery!

The CA21s you have are already pre-programmed for it, and they tie straight into the existing booth lighting. You will have to rig up some sort of external relay system for the other automations you suffer with though.

Cameras today are designed by pirates, hence the no flickering. [Razz]

Good video. Whoever threaded those films that day did one hell of a job. just saying......

My existing lights kind of suck, though. I am sure I could come up with something less elegant yet still better than what I have, but if the 2x4 lights aren't out of my league then they would look the best.

By the way, I like how Jeremy applies new Filmguard every show. [Smile]

(Yes I know he really doesn't). Also, I label my cleaners the same way, but I don't put the auditorium number on them since I don't have a platter array.

That's not the auditorium number. Those prints moved to different auditoriums most every round of the day. That was how many feet long the media pads needed to be.

And no, the pads were only saturated once a week, per the instructions.
