That is very much my prefered method also Steve.
I cannot imagine how hard it must be to synchronize one moving picture with another, then shut off the lamp from the expired films projector at just the precise moment while bringing in the next machine, without anyone noticing on a giant screen what has just taken place!
I guess I'd have to be an Octopus before I'd find it a doddle, either that or an ambidextrous Centipede!
No,.. two reels and an interval or all in one run I'm afraid for a mere amateur projectionist such as myself, is more than enough!
You have enough to concern yourself with keeping the gate clean, adjusting the focus occasionally and rectifying the sound. After that we begin to enjoy what we witness on screen!
Hopefully now, all digi (press a few buttons here and there) fans that are present here, will begin to understand entirely why we call this a very different experience from a beamer and very much "A Labour Of Love"
And to think, when the album was out by the very same name, a beamer was a casual expression for a BMW and Derann were doing the best they ever had! [ May 08, 2017, 07:44 PM: Message edited by: Andrew Woodcock ]

Graham - At the bottom left of the Beatles cover in the photo, you can just make out the words "Magical Mystery Tour." As Winbert points out, it would probably have been printed onto Fuji film, so,most likely, would have far better colour than the muddy ones we get in the UK and Europe.I,too,would be curious about the contents of the Bay City Rollers film if Jason can enlighten us all,please?
Fabulous set of photo's,Claus, by the way. Please keep them coming!

Finally Saturday night drew near, and with that, the dinner. The Boathouse, which we had enjoyed on previous occasions, had re-opened just in time to accommodate us again. Excellent meals were had, and much fun:
Todd Tuckey had arranged for a commemorative "anniversary" cake to celebrate 15 shows. John would have loved this:
After dinner, back to the films! Lovely prints were screened, including this classic cartoon:
...and our on-going serial "The Crimson Ghost", Tammy Tuckey's absolute favorite, of which we do a couple of chapters each show:
With the end of the show on Sunday came another tradition: the group shot:
As people packed up and started leaving, the mood was one we all knew: a sense of warmth and friendship and a feeling that once again, this little hotel by the Jersey shore had been home to something special: a celebration of film collecting and film in general in the midst of a digital world that knows little about such things anymore.
If any of what we have posted has piqued your interest, please start thinking about our fall CineSea, and if you can possibly attend. You will be welcomed and odds are very good you'll love it!
Thank you as always for looking and reading; I hope the images and words have helped convey the atmosphere of "The Biggest Little Show on the Shore" :-) Claus.

Superb as always, Claus!
What's great about this is something like 5 years ago we inherited this idea from John Black and all we hoped for it at the time was to put up one last weekend in his honor.
These days, at basically every weekend we have one or two new people join, and when they head home we know they will be back.
This wonderful, whacky, simple little thing we have is good, and it looks like it's growing too.
