Author Topic: Moving Image Technologies Bevan Wright Expert Film Handler Posts: 176 From: Fountain Valley, CA, USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 10-03-2003 01:17 PM                        Hi everyone, Long-time lurker, first time poster Bevan Wright here… In case any of you have not yet heard, a group of us from Christie have left to form Moving Image Technologies. MiT will be dedicated to products and services specifically for the cinema exhibition marketplace. Please visit our website at www.movingimagetech.com . We are looking forward to continuing our long-standing personal and professional relationships in this great industry. If you have any product suggestions or recommendations please feel free to drop us an e-mail.

Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-03-2003 02:04 PM                     Wow! Best wishes for the new endeavors. Will the actual products bear such a striking resemblance to the Christie equivalents? I guess what I'm *really* wondering is whether your new company is going with all of Christie's film stuff while Christie goes totally digital. Same machines, same parts? Or all-new? Also, I really hope that you will continue searching for a logo because the three colorful balls is a bit too generic, imho. Finally, I'm dying to know -- and I'd understand if you didn't go there -- was this mutiny? It seems like a mass exodus took place. Here's to the success of your new company.  |  IP: Logged Bevan Wright Expert Film Handler Posts: 176 From: Fountain Valley, CA, USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 10-03-2003 02:50 PM                        Manny, Products are significantly different... well as different as you can make some of these products. This is not really rocket science and we are not re-inventing the wheel here, we are implementing 'best of breed' system architecture with a focus on performance and value. Again, we look forward to feature input from the people that use these products the most. I was with Christie for 10 years, almost to the day, I wish them the best of luck.

And the console looks decent to. Does it only come in blue?  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 10-03-2003 03:39 PM                        I had hoped that you would also manufacture alternative spare parts for Christie projectors. I had some problems recently to get the right, complete, and fitting parts. In one case the part was even rusty.  |  IP: Logged Bevan Wright Expert Film Handler Posts: 176 From: Fountain Valley, CA, USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 10-03-2003 03:48 PM                        Colors have not yet been set. Suggestions?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-03-2003 03:51 PM                        Rainbow! Just kidding. Actually I kind of like black because it is (fairly) easy to keep clean, and doesn't show spots as well as the silver Strong equipment can. Of course I don't think I'd make the platter deck itself black, as that might be kind of odd. Silver looks good as well, but it can show blemishes easily. Of course my car is black and I have a hard time keeping it perfectly clean, so what do I know? I find this new company very interesting and look forward to seeing its products.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-03-2003 03:57 PM                     Congratulations on your new endeavor. Colors? I like Joe's suggestion of black. VERY easy to keep clean. Second preference would be a dark color, like Christie is using. Definitely make "wear" parts such as film rollers black. The platter drawing does look like an AW3. Will it for all practical purposes be an AW3? (In other words, interchangeable parts?) I have a few minor suggested upgrades for you on some of the items you may want to keep in the back of your mind during the design stage. I will email.  |  IP: Logged Matt Hale Expert Film Handler Posts: 123 From: Vancouver, Canada Registered: Dec 2002 posted 10-03-2003 05:53 PM                        Isn't forest green supposed to have a psychological calming effect? Might be just the thing for all those gigaplexes with one operator. Black would also be a good choice. Looks like some interesting stuff there. Will definitely keep an eye on the website. Good Luck.  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-03-2003 07:09 PM                        quote: black. VERY easy to keep clean. please explain. is it just because light-colored dust is easy to see on it? then why the comment (from joe) about silver showing blemishes? on our christie platters, the blue rollers are much cleaner, and easier to clean, than the black ones, although that's due to the different design, really. speaking of colors, look at that automation. red for start and green for stop is very innovative but is it a good idea? carl  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-03-2003 07:25 PM                     Best of luck Bevan and Associates!!
