Author Topic: Meet Jan Niebuhr, Danish projectionist de luxe Thomas Hauerslev Master Film Handler Posts: 451 From: Copenhagen, Denmark Registered: Aug 2000 posted 12-23-2003 01:28 PM                        Hello everyone, I recently published an interview I did with my friend and projectionist, Jan Niebuhr. It was published in the December 2003 issue of Cinema Technology and of course here as a THX (Thomas Hauerslev eXperymint) thing. I hope you will find it of interest. Best to everyone for Christmas and the New Year.  |  IP: Logged Gerard S.

Your website presentation is neat and effective. I like the special forklift for moving prints, the shipshape condition of the theatre, and the upbeat attitude of your projectionist. The blue light isn't explained. Is it easy on the eyes to work in?

Submarines use red lighting. Blue also accounts for the least amount of input in the NTSC TV system...only about 12% of the total. Next is red, then Green which acounts for about 56% of the signal.

It's short wavelength, doesn't go far to spill, & isn't very distracting if it does. As a low light source, it's good because it increases apparent contrast (black & white cameramen/cinematographers used a "blue glass" to judge how a shot would look in b/w).  |  IP: Logged
