I am quite honoured to be given helpful and knowledgable info from such a group of talented and wise men. Guys like John Pytlak, Brad Miller, Gord Macleod, Mark Gulbrandson, etc. These individuals should compile a book or various manuals depending on their strengths for all us up and developing projectionists and technicians to someday be as good on the job as they are. I have been projectioning for almost a year and have learned quite alot from this site in particular. However, I now find myself unable to progress further where I am as a projectionist because my manager does not care about the theatre, his job, or myself, so things like repairs and breakdown troubleshooting I know very little of. The Jedi-Master log book --a compilation of FAQs and answers would be a superior step for us beginners in the right direction. Rich

Thank you for the compliments.  But every participant from "Film Handler" to "Jedi Master Film Handler" contributes greatly to the value of this forum.The Internet has become one of the best ways of sharing information and experience among projectionists and film handlers, who've always loved to "talk shop". We all learn from each other. Manufacturers, dealers, and suppliers that participate here enjoy working with film handlers to continuously improve the quality and performance of their products and services. Fixing problems is better than ignoring them. Spread the word about the Film-Tech Film Handler's Forum. Encourage PARTICIPATION, and not just lurking. No question is "too dumb", if the answer helps others. It's one of the best ways to improve the movie-going experience for everyone. ------------------

Even though as Brad said, all the info and advice is online in this forum, I still think it would be great if there was a condensed version, perhaps with an index or something - wading through old threads can be a bit time consuming, especially if half the thread is taken up by an argument on an unrelated topic, or a continuing joke - they're funny, but most of the time not so applicable to the booth (joe's video excluded - oh, and the recipes for Film-Guard cocktails were very informative as well). I'm sure you could find a few volunteers who would accomplish this task for you Brad, and then maybe put it on the site in .pdf?
