Years ago I ran AAII’s like those at a 4-plex during the day (set up for 35mm) and a more “normal” projector (Simplex) at a drive-in during the night. Those AAII’s were so big and roomy. When I went to lace up the smaller projectors, it felt like I was wearing baseball gloves.

At 4:37, scope has had several different aspect ratios which annoyingly are rounded variously up and down. So it’s not just 2.39:1, it’s been 2.35:1, 2.40:1. See the “Aspect ratio (image)” article on English Wikipedia.

Really wish the theatre would advertise the size of film the movie is being projected on, if I knew they were showing 70mm prints I’d be more interested in going.

Hi Kyle, I like the 8/16/33 mm look. But is there cheap alternative? Getting the footage developed and digitized is hardly affordable if you want to shoot a full length analog film (and dont want to use pseudo-analog digital filter.)

Not janky at all. That “brilliant switch” (your sarcasm) is completely safe, but it’s not a switch, it’s a disconnect. And that plug is a NEMA standard plug, so I’m it sure why you’re calling it non-standard. Maybe you mean “not common in my limited experience” or “not found in my mom’s garage”. Maybe don’t make videos where your sensationalist hook is based solely on your lack of knowledge.

@mememealsome4 ай бұрын
I know this has no hope of getting answered, but i’ll try anyway. I just went on a deep dive about imax film. It turns out that 15 perforations works out to basically 70mm. So why did they bother running the film horizontally? Every source says imax is run horizontally so the with of the frame won’t be limited by the film stock, but then they chose an aspect ratio that made is essentially 70mm wide! Why not just run the film vertically and accept that the width would be like 65mm instead of ~71mm? Is that extra bit worth all the engineering work it took to run the film horizontally? After going through that work, why not make imax really wide? I’d think at least go to 20/70 and let the unlocked horizontal scale stretch its legs a bit.
@KyleMiko4 ай бұрын
A big reason that the film is run horizontally is because at the size it becomes much easier to run horizontal. The film has to be run off platters due to the sheer amount of film, and platters keep the film horizontal even for regular 35mm and 70mm. Normally this has to be re-converted back to vertical and then converted back to horizontal for traditional film. Lastly, the mechanism for the projector’s shutter, the “rolling loop shutter” was designed because the film is so large, and my understanding is that being horizontal further made this shutter mechanism more usable. Hope this helps!

@KyleMiko4 ай бұрын
There are different types of projectors, but to my knowledge there is not much of a difference between ones for drive ins and regular theaters. The important part to remember is that theaters will always be darker than drive ins, so that generally brighter projectors should be used at a drive in

Our theater now quit using masking when they went digital and you can see the gray bars on the top and bottom. I quit going because it looks like a old tv now. Film was a lot better for movies then digital is now they should have never gotten rid of it. plus the digital sound seemed louder and more full then the uncompressed sound of today I know it make no since but its like today they dont even try at all with digital projection

I remember in the 1990 going to the movies and having the sound cut between sdds and dolby sr a lot it would pop and get lower and then if u got up and told the people that were working they could fix it sometimes this allso happend on dts on 35mm too but not as much we didn't get dolby digital untill 2000 something but it was not as good as dts or sdds the sound was always so much lower on dobly digital I would avoid the 2 rooms that got switched over to that we mostly had dts witch was so much better then the dolby digital rooms

Hi. You don't tuck the film into the angled slot on the core?
@KyleMiko5 ай бұрын
Good observation, you can do that! However, I try to avoid that because it can damage the film. But, if it’s a leader or tail then you will be fine regardless. It’s mostly preference, but with film being rare these days general practice is to be the least damaging.
@vanylaskywalker5 ай бұрын
@@KyleMiko That makes sense. I've seen some cores having a 90 degree angle slot, that would certainly damage the film (unless it's a leader like you said). Do you recommend taping the film to the core or just do it like you did without any taping?

I was a projectionist in the late 60's and into the seventies and just before the multiscreen theatres became common. Loved the job.

That’s a really good question. I am honestly not sure, it’s possible that initially they just recorded the projected image with a TV camera (telecine) and if they had a modified shutter to reduce flicker, it might have just worked.
