Ok, so where do you put the DVD?

Still remember those projectors being used in school.

This guy really doesn't know film. His instructions might generally work for this particular projector make and model but there are TONS of other makes and models. He also makes many other general points in this video that are simply false. He's not even close to being an expert.

Is that Kerry decker?

Yeah this video isn't all that helpful for Manual and Slot threaders. Though most manual projectors have the instructions printed on the the projector somewhere, and slot loaders are fairly obvious, just put it through the slot.

And tiny 50ft reels for trailers and tv spots

You didn't mention that you need to release the auto-feeding mechanism after you've threaded the film through the machine.

Oh how cool -- I recognized the film music right away (playing at the end). From that old Thor cartoon. How cool!
