Author Topic: Ideas for old & new intermission trailers Matthew Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 461 From: Port Arthur,TX Registered: Sep 2000 posted 02-02-2006 07:13 AM                     I'm on the drive-in film.com site right noe & I just came up with an idea for both old & new intermission trailers. Sine I'm a member of the Yahoo closing logo groups,some of the members have recreated several TV,movie & video logos. Mostly everyone has a computer & anything else to recreate-not restore-existing intermission trailers. I'm also considering new intermission trailers even ones that would boost the amount of money that drive-ins make. For example intermission trailers featuring character of popular kid's shows. Example: Blue's Clues where the kids would guess pawprinted clues involving consession items. Another thing due to the fact that to me it has gotten out of hand to the point that it is literally a derogatory & hurtful insult,do not tease me. Do not even do it without asking permission. If you ask to & I don't say anything involving asking permission or say no,leave it alone. There are two kinds of teasing & one of them is the troublemaking kind.  |  IP: Logged Floyd Justin Newton Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 559 From: Phoenix, Arizona, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 02-02-2006 08:47 AM                     Matt-- At least SOMEONE is exercising their creative abilities.  |  IP: Logged Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 02-02-2006 12:07 PM                     BC has a K. Gordon Murray Santa Claus one-reel featuring an audacious Ronald McDonald inviting a circle of children "over to his house after the show"... I think however anyone might go about innovating such content, it oughta be just as creepy.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 02-04-2006 11:47 PM                       Already been done. Justin West and I were innovators in the production of new intermission trailers for drive-ins... many of which are "recreations" of classic snipes and themes, with Dolby SR stereo soundtracks. Contemporary messages, graphics, and animation are integrated within original footage throughout our countdown clock, our generic policy trailer, and other offerings. Screen Attractions If you want to use existing characters commercially, yes, you have to license them. And, for the going price of something like a Blue's Clues tie-in, the tiny drive-in theatre sales base certainly would not justify that expense. Particularly since the operator of that site you were browsing flooded the marketplace with cheap dupes, further diminishing what little demand there was to begin with. There's just not that many drive-ins out there to sell to, and of those, only a small percentage believe in running concession trailers. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about here.  |  IP: Logged
