  • GOOD NEWS, I will be doing some DCI (Digital Cinema installs) in the next month. I will document it with video and place them on here...

    For those interested inthe changing shape of cinema, it should be very interesting..

  • what movie were you playing?

  • I have no idea. There are always many movies on at the cinema at one time... When you work in a cinema, its all a blurr!!!

  • The magnificent projector at the Sun Theatre, Melbourne Australia, in the Grand theatre, on the hoist is nothing short of

    precision German engineering.... a Bauer U3.... All class!

  • Look like fukin huge jard drive platters ....

  • @Ibringthetruth1 The films are hired from distributors and have to be returned. The reason for multiplexes and twinning, tripling of large cinemas was that films were hired out to cinemas on a 'seating capacity' charge basis. This meant that a 2000 seat cinema would pay much more than a 500 seat cinema to hire any particular programme. Logical, therefor, to hire more than one film, more choice for same price, so to speak.

  • @johnnypoep The amount of sound that is on just 1 frame of 35mm film is equal to 1/24th of a second. You're not going to get much out of that little bit of film you have there.  To even get some sound from it thought, you would need an led sound reader. BACP is the most commonly used brand of sound readers unless you are going with expensive readers such as DTS, Dolby, or SDDS.

  • Hi, I just bought 1 35mm film frame for display,.. Im wondering how they get audio from this small thing? Can you maybe explain it to me?

    That would be great!

    Kind regards,

  • i want to learn this profession and become a film operator. im in brighton and my hobby is 16mm film. any idea how to start getting int this business?

  • do you keep the films? destroy them? sell them?

  • antiquated and complex and prone to break probably.

  • In the youtube movie "How A Filmprojector Works In A Cinema" You placed the DTS timecode on the wrong place.

    The place you pointed at is the place where one of the two SDDS soundtracks would be.

    The typical place for the DTS timecode is next to the optical soundtrack.

  • Woah. I don't even want to think about what happens when you get a wrap. It's bed enough when the projectors right next to the platter.

  • great video, really interesting, where is this?
