Author Topic: Hello Everyone! Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 08-06-2002 02:15 PM                        I have lurked here at Film Tech for a very long time and enjoyed my visits but because most of you have the title "Expert Film Handler", I thought this site was for only people who work in the motion picture exhibition industry. After taking the time to read the forum rules the other day, I discovered that almost anyone can register and I did and I am very pleased that I will now have the opportunity to contribute to this forum with my thoughts and opinions. Although I only know most of you from your posts here at Film Tech, there are others I have known for a very long time at Perry Sun's excellent DCINEMAZONE forum including Brad Miller, Mark Gulbrandsen, Gordon McLeod, Greg Anderson and John Pytlak. With a few exceptions, I am very impressed at the way you all conduct yourselves by refraining from 'flaming" each other and being positive with your comments and opinions. I will do my best to follow in the tradition you had all established here at Film Tech and thank you Brad for letting me be a part of your forum. -Claude  |  IP: Logged John Daily Film Handler Posts: 45 From: Upstate, NY, USA Registered: Jul 2002 posted 08-06-2002 02:27 PM                    Welcome, Claude! I'm new too, and am having a great time here. As for being nice to each other, we kind of have to, or else Brad brands us by changing our "Film Handler" status to something less desirable.(*CoughcoughIancough*)  |  IP: Logged William T. Parr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 823 From: Cedar Park, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 08-06-2002 04:31 PM                     Welcome Abord Claude, I am an avid still photographer myself and Projectionist by trade. I look forward to seeing your contributions in the forums about film saturation in general in both still photography and motion picture use.  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

Sorry about the confusion on who is allowed to participate here. That brings about an interesting point. I may need to alter the FAQ's registration requirements to make that more clear. We have many people not currently in the industry (or never have been), but it's everyone posting together that makes for good discussions. Welcome aboard.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Worthing Master Film Handler Posts: 384 From: Hereford, UK Registered: Apr 2001 posted 08-08-2002 10:48 AM                     Welcome aboard, Claude.  |  IP: Logged Robert E. Allen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1078 From: Checotah, Oklahoma Registered: Jul 2002 posted 08-08-2002 04:33 PM                     Welcome Claude! I'd be most interested in reading what you have to say about the quality of the industry's product these days (not technically but content wise). Bob The Old Showman  |  IP: Logged
