Author Topic: inserting trailers IMAX Daniel Seal Film Handler Posts: 6 From: Birmingham, England , uk Registered: Feb 2005 posted 06-03-2005 04:24 AM                     IM NEW TO IMAX AND WAS WONDERERING IF THERE IS A METHOD TO INSERT TRAILERS INTO THE FILM "WITHOUT" USING THE "MUT" LIKE YOU WOULD WITH 35MM. ANY TIPS/IDEAS THANKS IN ADVANCE .  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 06-03-2005 06:12 AM                        Daniel This subject has been covered a lot on 1570.com Take a look here for a few hints and ideas  |  IP: Logged Dan Suomi Film Handler Posts: 53 From: Aurora/Oswego, IL Registered: Jul 2004 posted 06-03-2005 12:36 PM                        I don't know about you but since he is new I think he should learn how to do things the proper way first and get good at that. Then maybe learn the shortcuts. Otherwise, he may just mess things up for himself and potentially others. Welcome to the IMAX family, and "May the force be with you"  |  IP: Logged Matthew Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 461 From: Port Arthur,TX Registered: Sep 2000 posted 06-03-2005 07:10 PM                     Off-topic post deleted.

So I might be able to help. What type of sound equipment do you have? What type of reel unit(s) do you have (MK I, MK II, Q-turn)?  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 06-10-2005 08:35 AM                    quote: Stewart Anderson I never ran IMAX but I did run 3D 1570 (rolling loop, CDC). Isn't that pretty much the same thing?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-10-2005 04:07 PM                     Adding or subtracting program material in 1570 is more of a sound/automation/film transport issue than a projector issue  |  IP: Logged Stewart Anderson Expert Film Handler Posts: 105 From: Sandy, Utah /United States of America Registered: Aug 2003 posted 06-11-2005 03:18 AM                        Darryl and Gordon your both right. So does anyone know what type of reel unit(s) he is working with? Hey Gordon, out of curiosity, when you talk about automation on 1570 trailers, does IMAX have queues for house lights and other stuff like you would find in a 35mm house?  |  IP: Logged Jeffry L. Johnson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 809 From: Cleveland, Ohio, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 06-11-2005 10:43 AM                        Since he's talking about inserting trailers without using the make-up table (MUT), I assume he's using the Quick Turn Reel Unit (QTRU). I prefer to do my trailer work on the Mark-II Reel Unit (MkII) and then transfer to the QTRU. (But I'm running features less than one hour. Haven't run DMR yet.)  |  IP: Logged
