Author Topic: Dolby and other courses Erik Stevens Film Handler Posts: 10 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Nov 2002 posted 05-05-2003 09:52 PM                     G'day to all, I would like to find out about the courses that Dolby and other companies ie: Kinoton, Cinemecanicca etc. hold. If anyone has attended any of the courses, could you let me know what you thought, and how you came about 'enrolling'/finding our information to these courses. I have looked over their websites, but have not found any details what so ever. Ciao, Erik  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-05-2003 10:08 PM                     The Dolby course only gets into the very basics of cinema sound. If thats what you are after then its a good idea....there is always good food too. They used to conduct an advanced course but it has not been given in years .

I'll see if I can get him to post his impressions.  |  IP: Logged Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 05-06-2003 07:10 AM                     Kinoton has a course? Details, please!  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft. Lauderdale, FL, USA Registered: Jun 2001 posted 05-06-2003 09:42 AM                     Kinoton recently gave successful three day training sessions in Boston and Los Angeles for about 60 people. Two lead technicians from Germany did the training in addition to Kinoton America staff. Larry Shaw was on hand for both sessions. Sessions covered the cinema and studio line of hardware and included actual strip down and assembly of equipment, technical software and other matters. Future sessions are a possibility..........

Darryl Jones from Kodak attended and found it very worthwhile. Larry Shaw or Richard Fowler may be able to provide details and if any more are scheduled again soon. http://www.kinotonamerica.com/index.htm http://www.kinotonamerica.com/direct.htm  |  IP: Logged
