Theres been threads on what you'd like to see for features and for digests. How about trailers?

I'd like to see the trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes on S8. That or any one of those famous Hitchcock trailers.

I('m actually preparing two new GIOSI Films advert releases, one in scope and one flat. (I have both versions of this!) The neat thing is that both will begin with the same one minute long advert for a movie theater chain. It's a lovely "rollercoaster" ride that takes you past assorted signs "Popcorn" "candy' ect. Each reel will be followed by assorted animated and otherwise recent adverts that have been in the movie theaters lately!

Each reel will run approximately 7 minutes.
More on this later!

Ossi, should I understand that you release (or intend to release) super 8 prints ?

Posted by Osi Osgood (Member # 424) on December 04, 2013, 01:19 PM:

Yep! No desire to do 16MM. I haven't contacted Phil Sheard yet, but I hope to make this a joint venture to cut down overall costs. The nice thing about the theaters today is that the best TV commercials also tend to be released in the movie theater, so a number of the commercials in this collection are ones that you have actually seen on TV (and may remember fondly).

I'm not sure, but this might be the same trailer/advert for the lobby. The one on youtube may be a later update.

but it's cool, none the less!

More details on this later.

I will be watching this space my fingers crossed [Smile]

The rollercoaster is one our local theater uses, I'd like to have that one just for the reaction it would get from the rest of the family!

I'd also love to have some drive-in theater day sets in Super-8.

Ernie: If you don't mind me answering with three - which should all exist on 35mm - I'd opt for 'Black Swan', 'The Woman In Black' (must be the British trailer) and 'Prometheus' (especially as I have the first 4 'Alien' trailers all on a reel). I doubt if we will ever see the first two although Phil S has previously referred to a 'Prometheus' trailer possibly appearing. There was also the mysterious print that appeared on eBay.

Posted by Ernie Zahn (Member # 274) on December 04, 2013, 07:18 PM:

Cool! Yeah Steve O mentioned Prometheus in a recent issue of The Reel Image.

I would definitely go for The Black Swan or The Woman in Black. As to Woman in Black the British or American version; just happy to see Hammer Films in the credits. The studio, like so many of its characters, back from the dead.

When the last cinema here went digital, I did ask if I could have the old adds...NO...was the answer [Frown]

they were to be destroyed [Mad]

Not to give up, I contacted the main NZ supplier, who have the rights to all this stuff. The response was very positive indeed, but I needed something in writing so I could go and get them.

This is where things got sticky...because they were old adds they were reluctant to force the cinema to hand them over to me...but wished me luck.

The end result of this crusade I was on.. "I don't give up easily" was that the cinema...threw them all out [Mad]

So I wont be going back there to watch there STINKING digital movies..

Never mind I still have plenty from the place I used to work at [Wink]

Graham

PS. Osi...all the adds at the moment are digital...they are no longer on 35mm film.
