I'm working in the post production side of the Industry in Digital Colour correction. I got here mainly because of my interest in 8mm as a youngster. Here is me behind the desk with the DOP Seamus Mcgarvey on 'Nowhere Boy'. Also I had the pleasure to work with this gentleman for a day. Hint- 'Fighting Skeletons'....

A bit off topic, but seeing Stewarts pictures I felt the need to say it:

I talked to the local cinema chief, and he gave me permission to visit and take some photos of the booth! [Smile]

We still use 35mm here, so the nostalgia is there [Wink]

Well, there isn't a booth as such, just a big digital projector above my head! Once the film is graded we shoot it out back onto 35mm using an ARRI film recorder. We then watch it at the labs preview theatre , I can take photos of the booth and machines if anyone is interested.

Those 17 Kinotons! Any idea of the ballpark price of a FP30 Stewart? I've been looking at the FP38E as a holy grail purchase. That is the 16/35 one. I take it a Kinoton is £5-10,000 depending on options?

I used to go to Edinburgh as well as part of the 'Dunfermline posse'.
We used to go to the Ping On chinese restaurant before the club meetings, but eventually the meal became a bigger deal than the club night (this was the days when the club had separate cine and video evenings)
I know at the time you were highly regarded in the club for your films and everyone hoped your talents would take you far, so it's great to see you got into film production,

Steven,
There isn`t really alot of options you can purchase for the Fp 30`s, they are very reliable,functional projectors. They have a wonderfully curved gate that give you great focus even at the most extremes of the image,xenon focusing is childs play.
I think back in 2001 the price for each fp30 was roughly £9,000 and the Fp 50 was £14,000,the Fp50 was a relatively new model back then.

Thanks Stewart! I appreciate the information. The Kinoton website gives a lot of info. The FP38 is 35/16 and super 16 and is marvelous but I feared the prices. That's what I expected, nearer 10 than 5. Perhaps I can find a refurbished one...

Thanks Stewart
Has your company ever thought of putting a behind the scenes dvd together especially while you are still running film projectors.

Graham,
The only behind the scenes stuff that we did was for local tv news when we first opened,usual cheesey 3 minutes worth.
Cineworld would never fund such a thing unfortunately.

Steven,
The dual format 16/35,seems to me to be a very curious beast.I`ve never seen one ,but for the life of me i cant think of any demand for such a projector except for small arthouse or private exhibition. It could be a very long wait before you find perfection my friend [Smile]

Michael,

quote:
What the feck is "Fucking Amal"?

Fucking Åmål is a charming Swedish film from about 10 years ago. I suppose you could call it a 'coming-of-age' comedy/drama about a couple of teenage girls who live 'in the middle of nowhere', a place called Åmål. The director, Lukas Moodysson, went on to make another 2 very worthwhile films: 'Together' and 'Lilya 4 ever'. Not sure what he did after that.

Moodyson later made the films "A Hole In My Heart" (2004), "Container" (2006) and "Mammoth" (2009).
The only of his film I have seen is "Lilja 4-ever", and that felt like a kick in the crotch. And I acctually mean that in a positive way.
The only other film that is equal and even tops it is another Swedish film "Älska Mig" (Love Me) from 1986. I ran it for a week at the cinema and I was more or less mentally drained every night. It is probably THE best Swedish film I have ever seen, I have never seen it since and I don't want to see it again for as long as I live. Thats how good it is!

Would you perhaps want to see what Åmål really looks like? Then take a gander at my photostream at Flickr:

There you also can see some photos from my moonlighting at the cinema the last couple of years (pictures from the projectionbooth).
