For a one-time, non commercial ("fair use") presentation, feel free to use any of the graphics contained on the Kodak motion-picture website. As with any school paper/presentation, you should always cite the source. Here are several good areas of the Kodak website to look at:
http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/support/h1/index.shtml
http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/support/h2/index.shtml
http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/newsletters/archived/
http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/forum/featureFilms/
http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/news/theFuture.shtml
http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/forum/featureFilms/oscars2001.shtml Whenever I've given a presentation to non-technical types, I often do a trivia quiz. For example, "How many feet of print film were used to make 3000 prints of "Hannibal"?" or "How many 100 watt bulbs could you light with the power needed to light a 25 x 60 foot screen?" or "Can you identify the four sound formats on this piece of film?", or "How many theatre screens are there in the USA?". For "show and tell", I'd take along a tape splicer, a film case and reels, a DTS disk, a xenon lamp (in a protective case please  ), xenon protective gear, an anamorphic lens, etc. Hand out pieces of an old trailer with all four soundtracks on it. Have a "tug of war" with polyester film, compared to triacetate. ------------------

Feel free to use the Interlocking 101 video. Just make everyone think that it is "normal practice" and redub the audio track. (Just please give credit.)  Also, don't forget to take the "nitrate film burning" videos from Rick Shamel. Just explain the difference in how much more fire-resistant safety film is as compared to nitrate and mistakenly tell them that the film on the video is safety. Then pass around a trailer that mistakenly tell them they are handling nitrate film, to please be extra careful in how they handle it so it will not spontaneously combust. On that xenon bulb, take the protective changing gear with you too and scare the pants off of the classmates about how easily they explode. Don't even take it out of the cardboard box until you have everything on. Watch as they squirm when you put it right up next to them, walking around the classroom! (Wearing earplugs wouldn't be a bad touch either.) Just remember it is the speech itself you will be graded on, not the factual information presented, so you mine as well have some fun!

HAHAHAHAHAHA i havn't seen this video before! ROFLMAO!!! 19 minutes left on the download i can't wait to look. I almost tried it at the 18 plex i worked at but i couldnt find enough spare rollers. Well lets see what i have in my box of goodies. 6000 foot safety reel (ill be sure to explain why the flanges move independantly). 2000 foot reel, nuemade splicer(i left the crappy one at work in case they have a film break), One roll of TP, small 1500 watt burned out bulb, dts disks, face mask, polyester teaser trailer, triacitate trailer, and a piece of burned film to repair. I think ill probalby take the bulb out of the box and hide it. When i take the box out ill explain how dangerous it is (ill have the gear on) then while walking to the audience ill drop it and run. after carefully retrieving it ill pull the real bulb out and explain. I have my diagram done, now i just have to write the speech itself. BTW im going to be video taped so maybe if its good ill post it :P

I'll definately grab one of those over sized rolls of toilet paper (you know, the scratchy kind) to explain how a platter system works. i.e. take out the cardboard center and show how the film is pulled through and wound while never having to rewind it. Maybe this wont be so bad!
