Author Topic: "Generic" digital policy trailers Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-03-2010 01:06 PM                        Is there any company making policy trailers in digital format for theaters that aren't chains? Cinema Concepts used to make some really nice film stuff, and their studio reel on their website is really nice, but apparently they don't do anything "generic" any more...too bad, they do some nice work. Pike Productions has a series available but I'd like to look at any other alternatives (if there are any). Anybody know of anything?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 08-03-2010 04:53 PM                     Let me know what you need. We can make them for you.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 08-03-2010 05:02 PM                     I use a few from Cinetize. This is my favorite cell phone policy.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Are there other sites that offer goodies like that that you know of?  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 08-03-2010 10:59 PM                     Don't know of any others. That cell phone snipe has been fairly effective. We use it mainly on PG and higher rated films, but it was accidentally programmed on Toy Story 3 and surprisingly no one came out to complain.  |  IP: Logged Shawn Houck Film Handler Posts: 4 From: Casper, WY 82601 Registered: Mar 2009 posted 08-03-2010 10:59 PM                        Hi Folks, I work at Cinetize and we're working on a selection of new content for the site. We've already got a few of the more requested topics covered, such as 3-D glasses and advance tickets. Any other generic topics you'd like to see?  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-03-2010 11:13 PM                     Hi Shawn Welcome to Film-Tech! I'm playing the one Jeremy mentioned now. Thanks for making them available. Here we don't call it the 'Concession Stand', but instead they are known as 'The Candy Bar'. Any chance you could make a version with that text? Only other suggestion would be a 'please deposit all litter in the bins provided as you leave the cinema'. Any chance?  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 08-03-2010 11:13 PM                     Any cell phone policy trailer should tell people not to text during the movie, imo.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-03-2010 11:28 PM                     Yes, that's a good one.  |  IP: Logged Shawn Houck Film Handler Posts: 4 From: Casper, WY 82601 Registered: Mar 2009 posted 08-04-2010 10:50 PM                        Hi guys, Thanks for the suggestions. I think the NO TEXTING one is a must. We'll probably have a few of those up in the next month or so. That's my biggest pet peeve when I go to the movies. We'll get a litter one put together as well. John, the "Candy Bar" one made me chuckle. Is that the term used though out AU, or is it the term you use at your theatres? If it's a common name, I suppose we'd consider it. We do have quite a few users in AU.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-05-2010 02:33 PM                        Shawn - maybe you could incorporate a "don't be rude" kind of message into a cell-phone clip. I think a lot of people today just don't realize that cellphone use in a theatre is rude and bothers other people. Or another angle -- how about a message such as "You paid to see the movie...don't let your phone spoil it!" etc.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 08-05-2010 06:02 PM                     Have any seen those SPRINT "No talking/texting" at your favorite REG entertaimnent venue? They're both a hoot!  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 08-05-2010 07:08 PM                     The Sprint ad with the guy getting interrupted by something like High School Musical, a car chase and being dragged into a spaceship was available in 3D. I don't know if the one with the woman almost stepping into a gunfight is 3D, but it probably is.  |  IP: Logged Cameron Andrews Film Handler Posts: 29 From: Rexburg, ID 83440 Registered: Apr 2009 posted 08-06-2010 05:05 PM                     This might sound dumb, But I would like a 10 second black screen. Also some "Please Return the 3D Glasses" trailers.  |  IP: Logged Mark Strube Master Film Handler Posts: 322 From: Milwaukee, WI, United States Registered: Feb 2007 posted 08-06-2010 05:16 PM                        I believe there's black video provided on every Technicolor TrailMix drive out there... Not sure about Cinedigm.  |  IP: Logged
