Send In Your Pictures
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION
TO THESE PROCEDURES!
It is difficult to deal with
picture submissions that do not follow these guidelines and it also delays
the updating of the Picture Warehouse when submissions are not sent in
an orderly fashion.
PLEASE do not skim this page!
To send in picture submissions for the Projection Picture Warehouse,
please
CLOSELY follow the following
instructions:
*We require at least SOME booth pictures. This is a tech
oriented site and future submissions that are not at least 1/4 of
the shots of the projection facilities will be rejected. On the contrary,
please try and get (if possible, but not required) a shot of the exterior
of the theater complex, lobby and an auditorium. More pictures of
the "non-booth" areas of the theater is encouraged, so long as there are
booth pictures to accompany the non-booth pictures.
*Please send us at least 5 pictures to make a page out of.
Picture submissions of one or two pictures will be rejected.
*You may send in all of the pictures in one email, or you may break
them up into multiple emails.
*We need ALL pictures properly renamed before sending!
There
are a few rules that go with this, so again PLEASE read this closely!
You can do this by right clicking on the file and selecting "rename".
Getting a bunch of pictures named "DCFS00042.JPG" is very difficult to
work with in keeping things together. If the name of your theater
is "Broadway Village Twin", then pick a short abbreviation of that such
as "broadwayvt" or "bvtwin" and name them ALL as such. For example:
"broadwayvt1.jpg", "broadwayvt2.jpg", "broadwayvt3.jpg" and so forth.
The pictures will be built onto the web page in THAT order. Please
start with any outside shots of the complex followed by lobby and other
interior shots and put the booth pictures last. All pictures should
be in either "jpg" or "bmp" format. When
renaming, do not put a space anywhere in the name of the file!
This confuses some browsers and will make your pictures not appear on the
web. In other words a filename of "broadway vt1.jpg" would NOT work
where a filename of "broadwayvt1.jpg" or "broadway_vt1.jpg" would work.
*Yes we meant it when we said that the filenames of your pictures
can NOT have a space anywhere in them! Your personal computer may
be able to handle this, but web servers can not.
*Please make sure to include the captions in the email!
This is where they are normally lost when they are sent in at a later date
or in a separate email. If you are sending the pictures in multiple
emails, please make sure the captions are sent in ONE of the multiple emails.
Sending in a caption with a single picture per email will no longer be
accepted. They may be in the text of the email, or they may be in
a Word or txt document attached to the email.
*Please give us the full and proper name of the theater as well as
it's location. For example "Mann Chinese 16" in "Aurora, CO,
USA". We do not need street names and such. PLEASE REMEMBER
TO INCLUDE THE COUNTRY.
*Please give us the name of the person if credit is desired.
If credit for submission of the pictures is not desired, please type "no
credit" with the captions and it will be treated as an anonymous submission.
*All picture submisions should be emailed to pictures@film-tech.com
or may be snail mailed on floppy, zip or cdrom to our address located in
the "contact us" section of the web site.
*Only ONE theater submission per email. Do NOT combine
two different theaters into one email.
*Screening room and single screen theater pictures are very much encouraged!
They comprise the most frequently viewed pages in the Projection Picture
Warehouse.
*Have access to a video camera? We would love to offer a "video
tour" of your theater! Please contact the main email address listed
on the CONTACT US link directly to arrange to have a videotape converted
directly into QuickTime format for download.
*Don't have a scanner to convert your photos to electronic image?
Snail mail them to us along with the appropriate captions. Please
MAKE
SURE each picture is numbered on the back side, which should correspond
with the caption sheet enclosed.
*Below is an example of a proper email. If your email does
not look something very similar to this below, you need to re-read these
procedures. Notice how the picture attachments are properly labeled
with no spaces in the filename.
