Author Topic: Barco Policy Trailers? Sam King Expert Film Handler Posts: 120 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Oct 2006 posted 05-17-2010 06:00 PM                     We recently went all Barco in our booth (quite an improvement on picture quality and lamp efficiency over the CP2000's). Anyone know if a Barco Policy trailer exists? thanks!  |  IP: Logged Tom Bert Expert Film Handler Posts: 134 From: Belgium Registered: Apr 2010 posted 07-30-2010 09:43 AM                     I'm not sure what you mean with "policy trailier"? Some stuff can be downloaded here: http://www.barco.com/en/digitalcinema/downloads/  |  IP: Logged Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 08-02-2010 03:00 PM                     Why do you want to do free advertising for an equipment manufacturer, especially one whose name means absolutely nothing to the movie going public? Barco doesn't exactly have the name recognition as Dolby. $50.00 per screening would be about right.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 08-02-2010 03:03 PM                        If a Barco trailer is well-done and has "wow factor" for the audience why would you care if it's free advertising? If the trailer sucks well then you shouldn't waste your time with it.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-02-2010 08:50 PM                        We don't use policy trailers, but I like to have some kind of break between the trailers and the feature. I really like the Technicolor Digital Cinema logo. Since Dolby for some unexplainable reason doesn't provide any "digital" digital sound tags, I use the Technicolor one. It's colorful, loud and impressive and most importantly, short and not annoying.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Many people like the deep bass on it.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Althaus Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Bedford, TX Registered: Dec 2008 posted 08-03-2010 12:52 PM                     Anyone know where you can download the DLP "Birth" and/or "Power" policies?  |  IP: Logged Justin B. Martin Film Handler Posts: 47 From: Arlington, VA, USA Registered: Jul 2010 posted 08-03-2010 04:33 PM                    Jonathan, the direct link to those DLP trailers is... ftp://dcinema02:read0nly@ftp.christiedigital.com/ ...I'm not sure about the Birth ones as they're already on our Doremi but none of the "Power" ones were working (invalid assetmaps). I emailed Christie about it but got no response.  |  IP: Logged Justin B.

It's colorful, loud and impressive and most importantly, short and not annoying. I only use the TDC one for its respective features (if I'm playing a Cinedigm show, I'll use theirs). And these I like to put at the very end because audiences don't like being inundated with policy/advertisements, especially ones I'm forced to play. Deluxe Digital should come up with a ten-second one but I guess they don't care about advertising their product.  |  IP: Logged
