Facts About Projection

[TheSkirmishes]

beautiful film

[dohead123456]

Worst. Music. Ever. That persistent G makes me want to stab my brain.

[ajenn10production]

This is the best! I know so many art house projectionist and used to be one myself and really appreciate this! Great work!

[gloncri]

So great to see that!

[Kewen]

I've watched this so many times now, I love it.

[lovelylolita11]

I would really want to get a chance to watch in one of those old school movie house's..

[kksurfs]

I did that for 3 yrs, the pay was crap. But it was my favorite job.

[tony359]

Lovely clip, lovely made. Enjoy your job.

Tony - ex projectionist

[jujufes]

Beautiful short.

Very nice music and image. thanks !

[NeonBoneyard]

goosebumps

this gave me fuckin goosebumps!

ahh i loved it :] 

[andrewjshepherd]

This was lovely!!! :)

[trampletop]

Why lose your job when digital comes?  Won't you need to start the movie, the previews? Still turn on the neon? etc, etc etc?

[radguitar1]

At 16 yrs old, I was the youngest projectionist in cineplex history at the colossus in walnut grove,langley, british columbia, canada

[Zlyzer]

@radguitar1 Impressive! :)

[janeykelly80]

Great little insight to the life of a projectionist! I used to work for The Everyman Cinemas on the reservations line and thought the reference to the overpriced snacks was golden!

[LavaLoveNoise]

marry me? :)

[schwyzerdrache]

Really loved it. Just wonderful to watch, thank you.

[HMV101]

As a projectionist who started back in 1955 when I was but 15-years old, (won't say my present age - that's a secret) I can truly relate to this segment.

Even though I've been retired for some time now I still get a chance to run 'reel' film, for charity, once every three-months at a nearby village community hall.

The 35mm C&W projectors are circa 1940 and are still use carbon arc lamphouses.

We may be the only operating cinema in Australia that hasn't converted to xenon.

Cheers, Charles

[ishootblankz]

@HMV101 It's awesome that you're retired at 70 years old. Most people work until they die in the middle of their cubicle nowadays.

[sirhenryish]

I really enjoyed this film. Thank you.It brought back the happy times I spent at Gateway films,when I was a runner and on my first week had to watch the whole of the back catalog!.That why I became a stills person!

[AppleJaxx0801]

This is a lovely, poignant video. I love the still shots and the lighting, and the bits of movies in between. 

[CINERIC55]

Magnifique, merci pour cette vidéo

[crafton200]

I want this albuuuum.. really nice music.

[xLolitaxRagxDollx]

Wheatabix at 2:30! Yum yum! ^_^

[marsavify]

nice :)

[AirsoftShenanigans]

Amazing, and the awesome thing is, my grampa is was the best projectionist where he worked.

[ManlaiSadis]

i'm curious where u from Temuujin?

[RedAliceJoyDOLtis]

WOW :)

this mini-documentary alone made me very happy, you must be delirious in your job all the time

great

[MedievalHollywood]

Hahaha. at 1:30, you can see the "other shots" window open behind iTunes as a way to organize what he still needs to shoot for THIS short. Plus, he has awesome taste in music! Conor Oberst is a god!!!

[nn8nn]

this is v nice...d place n work looks very homely

[DeathToSelmo]

dude that was so awesome.. i honestly feel inspired to become a projectionist...

[TheSilentAstronaut]

@DeathToSelmo work hard on not concentrating on your studies then

[Ajax4Hire]

good video, I like it, thanks.

[koria14]

As a projectionist, this definitely hits a spot. I agree that digitals have taken the fun out of projection... But I've had many moments where I'm so frustrated with a brainwrap or from film spooling out when it shouldn't, that I've come to appreciate having a digital projector around :)

[Iamakrakenfromthesea]

That's such a lovley video! Makes me want to go into a projection booth and do it sometime..

oh and it would be cool to eat sandwiches on the roof :)

[TheNinetySecond]

I'm quite surprised of the number of projectionists reacting in this video :) You do have some sort of secret society, don'tcha?

[TerryCraig23]

Holy shit, that's like a sign for me. I thought for a long time now about getting a job as a projectionist. And this guys a lot like me; everythings he says here applies to me too (from drawing and reading to Clavin and Hobbes to people watching and travel planning :)

I will definitely look for a job as a projectionist now.

[Motoxever]

I really love it!

I think it is great to be a cinema projectionist...

[Aftermath604]

This is an awesome short. I'm a projectionist from Canada and it's very sad that we are a dying breed. I'm glad I got to work with 35mm while it was still around.

[koria14]

@Aftermath604

I'm also from Canada and thankfully the theater I work at is still using 35mm for most projectors, but digitals are slowly moving in one by one.

[tomwildun]

potato salad

[ishootblankz]

do you splice in quick bits of porn at random spots?

[ShaneKilkelly]

@ishootblankz nope, it's very noticable and impossible to get away with. unfortunately, the way that practice is shown in Fight Club is not really possible.

[crafton200]

@ishootblankz You saw the Fight Club so much times!

[yaidontthinkso]

@ishootblankz The things you own end up owning you.

[Sianburst]

This is great.

[iwkyltditm]

Awww... I loved that.

Well done <3

[ManlaiSadis]

awesome video...your name Temuujin?

[TECH26]

calvin and hobbs is the shit lol

[ODHunte]

this was very funny and good..

[OssimJohn]

makes me hope for hope that people dont lose what love, because that seems like an awesome job!

[nickpadley]

Such a fantastic film. It moved me and held my attention right until the very end. Great job!

[pusho12]

That's pretty cool, kinda lame but you're a unique individual who does what he loves utmost respect Mr Projectionist! =)

[mrhoeft]

this was great! i'm a projectionist at a movie theater as well and i to know what it's like to work up there. love it!

[jaimwah]

Beautiful !

[TheKpmartin]

I learned alot and i think the job is something to be proud of. vintage ^.^

[glen195ys]

This is lovely :)

[bawkshish]

i loved it, it was amazing!

[sanchez2673]

really annoying high pitched hum in the background the WHOLE time!

[mendebone]

I get the ending - I'm a blacksmith.

[TouchMeIRock]

awesome....

[stefeck]

ok that was pretty cool

[cujo76]

BEAUTIFUL...

[bastard15]

I have thinking about becoming a projecionist too and this video made me want to become one even more.

[NimbusFilms]

I teared up.

[Dizzi800]

I don;t think that digital will overtake film for a long time to come. 1: Digital still hasn't gotten the film 'look' though, soon, digital will technically have higher specs (Better dynamic range, low light etc.) film has a certain 'look' which is almost impossible to replicate on digital.

[machigirl]

@Dizzi800 at the theatre I work at half the projectors are digital. We're aiming to become fully digital in the next few years =(

[Hoogliette]

Wonderful - I hope you always have a job doing this. 35mm is somehow warmer and and less precise than digital formats - long may it be used (in niche markets I suspect) but the world is richer for this art form.

[jspademagic]

This was really beautiful.

[KabbishComics]

What a great video

[crafton200]

Wow. You awake my melancholly. I used to work as a projeccionist, until the cinema where I work closed because the economic crisis. I used to love my job. The part at 2:02 was one of the most importants.

[SeanFilms]

Beautiful.

[spymasterwade]

honestly how can you thumbs down this video it was great

[marmaramar]

Simple, honest, humbling, lovely, genuine! This is what society should be about: people enjoying making ppl enjoy (no the slavering volunteers of the big bloody society of new Tories -after there's no such a thing as society-).

Keep doing it for as much as you can. Things like this are towering and a lift to the spirit. Well done! All the analog projectionists deserve a homage! Cinema Paradiso

[4mrpank4]

music?

[jellydeal]

Cool

[TheRetardedRaptor]

is 2:17 in London? Leicester square?

[mrpatrolroll]

Nice : ) 

[qmidget]

Thank you for summing up pretty much exactly how myself and my projection friends view our jobs. Its largely a thankless job and its very sad to see the looming redundancy but we still love the work we do and will continue to do so while we are able. So very touching.

[hachehache]

LOVE THIS!!!... you shoyuld check out the italian film: "Cinema Paradiso"

[djpauliero]

amazing and sad at the same time

[poisonon]

i love it ... it`s about nice people doing nice things

[OssimJohn]

wonderful!

[hidektol]

Beautiful film reels at 2:38 ❤

[raffymoonzombie]

awwwww

[carlos1234567898765]

awesomenessss!

[xToadlordx]

I took a screen shot at 1:31. I figured that a guy this awesome must have a great taste in music. What a fantastic short.

[AshtonPhillip]

that was touching...

[RebekaTarpey]

¬_¬

[JamesGreen321]

Beautiful

[aguarras21]

this vid is the first one , THE FIRST SHITTY VID you give fucking future shorts... wtf is going on with you....

[floorpuddle]

this is wonderful. Its cool, my college still has all this classic equipment, its partly why i came here.

[beatya1]

awww! i love it!

[IDRISMUTA]

nicely done.

[queerxbag]

I greatly enjoyed that!

[kalasad]

Yum, weetabix.

[HungryTacoBoy]

What a great short! Thoroughly enjoyed watching this.

[aerobique]

nice

[pauldve]

Maybe in 20 years everyone will realize like they sort of did with vinyl that for all its bad points there is something special about analogue and mechanical sound and vision.

[elowine]

Saw it on vimeo few months ago, just great

[djtowo]

awsome,i always wondered who is it that shows us the films

[davidborboa]

THAT WAS GOOD !

[chaotic13000]

hey subtitles in spanish please!

[halfhourof8MuSt]

fantastic !!

great job !!

[Rockyface]

Really touching. Im a projectionist myself and recently my theatre has upgraded all their machines to digital. The job is now boring and unfulfilling. I was the happiest i've ever been when i worked with film. Great short!

[nformby]

@Rockyface - I hope you can find ways of making your job more for filling. Not sure how, nor why. :)

[xLolitaxRagxDollx]

@Rockyface This video makes me so happy. It's so beautiful and sweet and simple. I just wanna hug you and the narrator. I'm so sorry about the upgrade. I hope you can somehow find fulfillment some other way or maybe find an old-fashioned theater and get back at it! Much love and respect, your friend. <3 =]

[DelusionalJ]

That was just amazing. I find it beautiful when I encounter the frailty and sensitivity of people. It reminds me of how I feel when I look into my children's eyes.

[SjoerdvdKroon]

Your work made me think of the movie Fightclub, the night job of Tyler Durden :)

But on topic, this is a nice story / good video!

[MaPhoneDude]

Seriously great film

[CAlex6977]

What the 1:27 TheHill88 works there?

[josephusmuris]

This is really brilliant. Especially as I live three minutes' walk from this cinema. In future going there will be so much more personal, thinking of the projectionist in his booth...

[DasGreenCow]

This is fantastic. Thanks future shorts.

[oliverwrites]

this is beautiful.

[hiruc]

beautiful. a bit nostalgic, and truly beautiful.

[ArturopkAV]

Nice :)

[BleakDisc]

Sorry but I'm not going to watch your videos if there's gonna be an ad before it.

[DasGreenCow]

@BleakDisc just hit refresh. And they have to make a living someway.

[usamimiproductions]

use of film is a dying art, even in photography. film gives a feel digital cannot replicate.

[hollyspry]

Excellent short! Quite sad though to think about all of the projectionists who could someday be out of work, especially thinking of the ones such as the gentleman featured in this short considering how happy his job makes him.

[kleyou]

nice;d

[jameslawsonsmith]

I really like this one. Makes me think of old times.

[OriginalPongster]

Calvin & Hobbes for sure, but what kind of cereal was that!?

[josephusmuris]

@OriginalPongster Weetabix! really good stuff; looks like straw, but tastes great! Three is a seriously man-sized portion.

[ronoc9]

Love it.

Kind of ironic; we just watched a digital Youtube internet streamed video about a 35mm film projectionist complain about digitalisation :D

[bobhornagie181]

Bravo. In a way it makes you resent modern technology...
