Posts: 325 From: Plano, TX, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 03-17-2003 09:13 PM                     Moviegoing doesn't get any better than this! http://www.cinetransformer.com/  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-17-2003 10:15 PM                        We have 6 auditoriums already like that.

I saw that thing at NAB last year, or maybe it was the year before. Kind of a neat idea, but its alot smaller than it looks in pictures. Everything seems to be about 3/4 normal size, and there are some unmarked ledges where the sections collapse that are very easy to trip on. The picture was not bad at all (for projected DVD) and the sound was also quite good. Alas, there was no popcorn popper (just a warmer for pre-popped) and the wasrooms make airplane washrooms look cavernous. I'm sure somebody could make a living touring around the backroads of somewhere with one of these things, but you're not going to park it outside your local megaplex and steal all their customers.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-17-2003 10:28 PM                     Looks like someone owes Phil Hill some royalities they look like the IWERKS reactor rides he designed Years ago we did something similar to provide dailies screening facilities on location  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop! Posts: 1852 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-17-2003 11:02 PM                     PHILL HILL DESIGNED THE REACTER??? KICK ASSS!!! I love that thing. But the Thomson Venturer is a more realistic simulator. While i'm on that topic, all of the DORON simulators really SUCK. Anyway, I had a friend pick up a brochure on that thing at the NAB conference. He said that the sound system in that thing is incredible.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 03-18-2003 10:51 AM                       What's the heck's a PHIGGIDY PHAT?  |  IP: Logged Andy Muirhead Master Film Handler Posts: 323 From: Galashiels, Scotland Registered: Dec 2000 posted 03-18-2003 06:39 PM                     There is something similar to this here in Scotland, except it isn't digital, I can't remember if it runs 35mm or 16mm. I've never seen it, It's usually used up in the highlands. Looks like the same kind of design, basically an artic lorry which unfolds into an auditorium, seating roughly the same amount of people as the one here.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 03-18-2003 06:46 PM                       Okay, so what's a PHIGGIDY PHAT?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-18-2003 10:03 PM                        It's the 2001 version of "far out, man." Actually nowadays it's been supplanted by "hizzle fo'shizzle."  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 03-19-2003 11:14 AM                       Thanks, Mike.

They will probably think it is a terrorist threat.  |  IP: Logged
