Author Topic: Communications part 2 Richard Quesnelle Film Handler Posts: 67 From: Penetang, Ontario, Canada Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-16-2000 09:58 PM                     To all those who had given me hell about not stopping the projector to change lenses, I thank you. I will not learn without any comments from those who are quite a bit more experienced than myself and being new at the projectionist game is no excuse to not have fixed the mistake. Thank God for all of your help and patience if I ask stupid questions along the way, but this is my only source of proper training. Thanks.

By asking a stupid question, you become smarter with every one of them.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-17-2000 09:19 AM                     Better to be thought a fool by asking a dumb question than proving it by making a stupid mistake  |  IP: Logged Rick Long Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 759 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Registered: Nov 1999 posted 08-18-2000 12:38 AM                     Yeah, like we haven't all screwed up too at one time or another in the past.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 08-18-2000 09:16 AM                        Note that my articles for Kodak's "Cinema Notes" publication are titled "Pytlak's PRACTICAL Projection Pointers" and NOT "Pytlak's PERFECT Projection Pointers". What matters is that we learn from our mistakes, and strive for continual improvement. Being cheap or lazy are poor excuses for bad presentation. Making an honest mistake and learning from it is an acceptable one. ------------------ John P.
