Author Topic: Kodak Classes Aaron Wesener Film Handler Posts: 14 From: Burt, MI, USA Registered: Nov 2003 posted 08-09-2005 02:23 PM                     Does Kodak still run its projection training classes? I wanted to send my head projectionists to it but I can't seem to find any information on it. All of the links posted on this forum point to pages which have not been updated and the phone number has been disconnected. If this school no longer exists could you please recommend something that would be equally as valuable to my guys?  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 08-09-2005 02:51 PM                        The Kodak ScreenCheck training program is still run under contract for some theatre circuits. The Kodak instructors go "on the road" to the theatre locations when a class of several dozen students can be arranged. Kodak ScreenCheck moved from their training facility in Culver City CA about a year ago, and felt that on-site training was more effective. Don Lane coordinates the ScreenCheck training program: donald.f.lane@kodak.com (323) 468-4430 Training programs are also available from other companies or consultants (e.g., Entertainment Equipment Company "Cinema Training Central" in Buffalo NY).  |  IP: Logged Aaron Wesener Film Handler Posts: 14 From: Burt, MI, USA Registered: Nov 2003 posted 08-09-2005 04:11 PM                     John, Do you happen to have any contact information for these other training companies? What about the Dolby class?  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 08-09-2005 09:27 PM                        EEC Cinema Training Central: http://www.entequip.com/ctc.asp Dolby: http://www.dolby.com/professional/motion_picture/solutions_exhibitors.html quote: Technical Support The strongest product support in the business comes standard with every Dolby product.

Although no one ever asked my permission to do this, I was flattered that they thought it was good enough to steal. (If they'd asked, I could've offered a high-res version.)  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 08-11-2005 01:14 PM                        I didn't provide it to them, but I'll remind them of proper protocol. Sorry.  |  IP: Logged Alan Dallas Film Handler Posts: 48 From: Prescott Valley, AZ Registered: Jul 2004 posted 08-12-2005 07:32 AM                     I thought that look familier Tim. Last year when Harkins Corporate office sent the Kodak guy out to our house to give all the newer Assistant Manager's that projection training class he used the animation I found on this site. I was going to comment on it at the time but don't think I did.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-12-2005 09:56 AM                       Thanks, guys. Like I said, I was honored that they lifted it, but an email would have been nice.  |  IP: Logged
