Yeah, that was a really awesome treat. Thanks to Brad and the people at TES for making the tour possible. It almost makes me want to get a job in a place like that. Just more mundane and repetitive film handling, but it sure looks like fun! All those new movies come in, get to unpack stuff to ship so millions of people can enjoy...
I thought the rep print storage was pretty cool. Similar to how I pictured it, but not really. I guess with that kind of filing system, when they say there are "no prints" they mean it! I noticed a couple prints in that storage area that were still in boxes. Would be cool to book a rep print and get a lab-new one.
A few strange things I noticed: DTS discs had their own secure storage area. Don't want anyone stealing that precious soundtrack! Also, the inspection tables had manual rewinds. Is that for a reason? I don't see too much benefit that motorized ones would provide other than, well, no more cranking. Also saw they were still using reel bands, so you can tell when these were taken!
Personally, I expected the place to be much bigger. (And yes, I expected an orange building, don't laugh) To me, it looks like a pretty nice close-knit group. But I was expecting more of a soundstage-sized thing.
