Thanks folks... ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Paul.....I will see what I can put together later on.
Years ago we used to have a number retirement homes visit for a short film and better still Yvonne home made tea and scones. The way "health and safety" work these days I don't think we could do that again. Certainly those visits worked great for quite a few years, back then I had old aircraft seats that still had the folding tray on the back. After the 2011 earthquake, I came across some seats that were for sale on trade-me. I think there were 16 all up, from one of the cinemas being demolished. It turned out that the X cinema manager was selling them, so I put a bid in of around $60 for the lot, to my surprise I got them, so in they went.
The room was built at the back of the garage as a spare room, not a cinema...well not straight away ![[Wink]](wink.gif) over the years its been a lot of fun.
Bill The leader is not that long as you thread on the Academy numbers which are directly in front the film you are showing. I just use some scrap film joined on front of the numbers to go the length from the projector to the platter.
When I worked at the cinema we made our own leaders the same way. Quite often when new trls or ads arrived they had the good Academy numbers that I wanted so with that, it was just a matter of making them up. We had a box full made up at work.
This is from the leader shown in the video..
Shown below came of "The Phantom Menace" tonight, the leader is on top of an old movie trailer to give an idea its size
This photo below is a old one, we had a box full of leaders that length that you would splice straight onto the start of any film you are making up for the platters.
When we had spare time we could make all this stuff up, as when you are busy later on you don't have the time to muck around.
PS...Bill or anyone else visiting out here you are more than welcome to get in touch.
PSS...With Christmas just a few weeks away, does time fly in I think "The Polar Express" is due for another screening.

...Anyway this is my we tour with no extra screen shots included, Steve wanted me to do a talk, so here it is with just a projector and platter. Excuse the shaky camera work, as its hard to thread up things with one hand and record with the other
