Well we are just back home after a two week vacation in the north east USA, that included our first visit to CineSea. The weather was glorious the whole two weeks - except for Cinesea where it was brutally cold! . Coming from the deep south I am sure we felt it more than most people there. Despite the freeze however the multitude of high power projectors that were constantly running elevated the temperature a notch or two, and the weather was no match for the warm and friendly comaraderie among all present. You see everyone here has a common bond, namely the love of film and film equipment, and there was never a shortage of some aspect of the hobby to share with fellow collectors.
The Friday night show, Sinbad was a knockout. Doug's GS Xenon did justice to Derann's superb print on that big screen. A winning film to kick off the new Friday night feature tradition. On Saturday night, equally, or more impressive, was Doug's striping and re-recording of several silent Castle horror shorts. The sound quality was superb, and the sync was dead on - well done Doug! This was followed by several reels of Super 8mm and 16mm shorts, on three projectors, with no breaks. The selections were great, some really excellent subjects and great looking prints. The show went on until 1.30am, and I would have loved to see it all, but by 11.pm I was all in. Just not enough time. The last thing I needed was another projector, but Gary Crawford made me a deal on a Eumig 824 Sonomatic that was so good I had to spring for it. I have always admired the 824, the top of the line of the 800 series tanks. If nothing else it is a whole set of replacement parts for my existing Eumig 820 Sonomatic. Above all else, the best part of Cinesea was meeting fellow forum members who you have known for years but never met. We had the pleasure of Steve Klare and his family at our end of the table at the Saturday night dinner. Cinesea is a whole lot of fun, and I can definately recommend it to anyone who has not been there. We happened to hit awful weather there - I can only imagine how great it is when the warm air is blowing off the Atlantic.
