Author Topic: Projectionist Magazines Nate Lehrke Master Film Handler Posts: 396 From: Denver, CO Registered: Oct 2002 posted 12-22-2002 10:07 PM                     Does anyone have any suggestions on what are good Projectionist Periodicals? Theatre Operation Magazines? Or just any theatre related magazines?  |  IP: Logged John Scott Master Film Handler Posts: 252 From: Oakdale, MN, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-22-2002 11:12 PM                     Well there are always the old standbys, Film Journal and Box Office that do have projectionist related articles in them. Kodak used to send out a quarterly newsletter about projection, but I haven't seen one of those mailed to us in over a year.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-22-2002 11:58 PM                     There used to be a mag called International Projectionist Magazine. That was a really good publication but has been gone for at least a couple of decades. Many of them still make for great reading and there is alot to learn from them....if you can find any of them......and oh...those pics of the 70mm booths with the Ashcrafts!!

Many of my articles are available on the Kodak website at: http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/newsletters/pytlak/ And other movie-related and technical articles are available on the Kodak website: http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/newsletters/ http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/support/ Film-Tech has all the back issues in the "Manuals" section: http://www.film-tech.com/manuals/manualindex.html#FILMNOTES  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-27-2002 05:29 PM                     Hmm. There used to be some nice online versions of Cinema Notes up on the Kodak web site (nicer than the scanner stuff); what happened to them? So much for any archival faith in the web (you might have hoped for it at Kodak...). I hadn't heard that a "strategic decision" was finally made to can Film Notes for Reel People (I like that title best), both on-line and print. That's really sad. They kept talking about moving it fron print to on-line, and I was thought that was a bad move, but never really expected it to go away entirely . John, do you have any background on the decision? --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 12-27-2002 06:21 PM                     What about Playboy or something like that?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-27-2002 06:44 PM                     Hey yea, Hugh Heffner used to ahve a copuple of 35mm installations at the old Playboy mansion in Chicago. I helped to remove the downstairs units years ago. These were actually Simplex X-L's that were set up for sep mag dailies. Mark @ CLACO  |  IP: Logged Jeffry L.

Cohen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 975 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 12-28-2002 04:31 PM                     John, I enjoyed Film Notes for the Reel People and Film Notes during almost their entire run, and saved them in a massive ring binder in the projection booth. I still have it now. I'd been reading your contributions with pleasure and profit long before I discovered Film-tech.

USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 12-28-2002 06:13 PM                     Towards the end of it's run, International Projectionist magazine was known as "Greater Amusements & International Projectionist". I believe it was published by Quigley Publishing, the same people who printed the Richardson "Blue Book of Projection" book.  |  IP: Logged Mark Ogden Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 943 From: Little Falls, N.J. Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-28-2002 06:38 PM                     Just a fast note for what it's worth, for those living in or visiting Southern California. . .the complete issue run of International Projectionist can be found at the A.M.P.A.S. Margaret Herrick Library on South La Cienaga just off Olympic in Los Angeles. The place keeps odd hours, but it's a great afternoon hoot to sit and thumb thru back issues from the golden age. The ads alone are worth the trip (you'll have to sling a line of at the door to get in, though. Tell 'em you're doing research on old projection techniques).  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 12-28-2002 08:23 PM                       IP was published by James Finn out of NYC. I have nearly 300 issues, from the early 30s through the early 60s, and was considering the logistics of putting them on CD-ROM. I'm only missing 10 or 12 issues in that range.  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash.

Where, among other things, we learned about air conditioned drive-ins and admired the amazing new Century JJ.  |  IP: Logged
