Author Topic: John Pytlak SMPTE Presentations, Toronto April 8 John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 04-07-2003 01:13 PM                        I will be the guest speaker of the Toronto Section SMPTE for their meeting on Tuesday evening April 8 (7:00pm) at the Rogers Communication Centre on the Ryerson University Campus. Here is a link to the program information: http://www.smpte.org/sections_chapters/toronto/yyz.htm You do not have to be a SMPTE member to attend. I look forward to meeting Toronto-area participants of Film-Tech at the meeting.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Sorry, I've cancelled my hotel reservations at the Toronto Hilton as I have to unload 23 DP-70's later in the week....I may never be able to walk again after that. I'll finally be able to get some rest! Mark  |  IP: Logged Gerard S.

Would it be possible to get a print copy, or to download & print? I know some of that information can be found elsewhere, but I so appreciate your talent for written expression, ably demonstrated in your Film Notes for the Reel People and on Film-tech, that I'd prefer to save it with Pytlak provenance. Sorry I won't be able to attend the Toronto meeting.

FWIW, Daryl O'Shea was there.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

John put on a great presentation, which included the above paper and a '111 Year History of Film'. His slides were the sharpest looking ones I've ever seen. Kodak Canada was also kind enough to provide snacks and refreshments for everyone in attendance. I also got to meet Alex Alzo from Deluxe Toronto who shared a bit about the challenges they face at the lab and the types of lighting they use in the dark rooms. Mark, I stopped by at the Toronto Hilton, apparently your reservation wasn't cancelled. I stayed there the night... expect a bill in the mail. Sorry about the mini-bar. Thanks.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 04-11-2003 11:31 AM                        Deluxe Toronto uses many of the darkroom lighting concepts outlined in my paper, which I first presented at the SMPTE Technical Conference in New Orleans on September 8, 1995.  |  IP: Logged
