Author Topic: Would you listen to a Projection or Industry related podcast? Mike Olpin Chop Chop! Posts: 1852 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Jan 2002 posted 04-04-2007 03:25 PM                     I'm looking into the possibility of launching a podcast with a focus on the theatre industry. Topics would include projection, industry news, and other such stuff. My question is: Would anyone be interested in listening to such a podcast? Furthermore, would anyone consider participating on the podcast in panel discussions? The show would be bi-monthly, panels and interviews would be conducted over Skype. What do you guys think?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-04-2007 05:30 PM                        I would try to listen to it just out of curiosity. But my question is what could you actually put on the recording? I'd imagine it'd be stuff like: Wednesday -AMC is building a new theater which will have 48 screens. -New movie to exhibited in digital cinema only. -3 new threads on Film-Tech. Thursday -AMC is still building its new theater with 48 screens. -That new digital cinema movie is still confirmed to be, well, digital. -15 new replies on Film-Tech. Friday -AMC is still in the process of building their 48-plex. Will they ever be done? -New movies opened today. Nobody cares. Movies that are actually good are rumored to be released sometime this year. -Phil Hill has posted on Film-Tech. There are 76 replies with references to "coot" and whatnot because it is fucking hilarious.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

But this wouldn't be a recording, it would be a podcast, which means it will automatically be very modern and cool. The actual content doesn't really matter. I suggest getting a cast of about 20 people, and reading Film-Tech threads that have been locked, but allow the actors to continue past the lock point and see what happens. Make sure all the actors are drunk before beginning.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-04-2007 08:16 PM                        quote: But this wouldn't be a recording, it would be a podcast Well shit. I don't own an iPod, so I guess I'm not permitted to listen.  |  IP: Logged Edwin Sheldon Film Handler Posts: 95 From: Mobile, AL, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 04-04-2007 08:31 PM                     Short answer, no. As Joe mentioned, is how do you keep the content fresh and interesting? How will you keep up a listener base for such a niche area of interest? I imagine tips & tricks, booth mishap horror stories, etc. would keep it interesting from time to time. Apart from that, I don't know what you could put in a regular podcast that would keep people interested.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

I'll offer to slut myself out for free on a bi-monthly bases and talk about how hot the guys on "300" were. You don't need an iPod to listen, just iTunes.  |  IP: Logged Frank Dubrois Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 896 From: Cleveland, OH Registered: Mar 2005 posted 04-05-2007 12:00 AM                    quote: Jennifer Pan I'll offer to slut myself out for free I wanna have your baby........  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

Later in the hour we will reveal the machine gun sound effects of the IMAX sr that untill now have only been heard by a select few........... well I would tune in  |  IP: Logged John Caswell Film Handler Posts: 35 From: Liverpool, Merseyside, UK Registered: Oct 2006 posted 04-05-2007 03:10 PM                     I'd probably have a listen, especially to the sound of the DP75 - would be just like being in work ... kinda miss it when i'm not in...  |  IP: Logged Edwin Sheldon Film Handler Posts: 95 From: Mobile, AL, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 04-05-2007 11:29 PM                     To keep enough content to keep it interesting, it would probably have to be a monthly or bi-weekly cast.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.
