Author Topic: Let's get creative here Grant Chambers Film Handler Posts: 29 From: Branson Missouri, USA Registered: Jul 2012 posted 04-12-2013 05:55 PM                     What are some of the creative things you've done/seen with the old 35MM equipment. I would love to make tables out of the platters and make a display out of one of our old simplex projectors. Any ideas? (If I had my way, I'd have an awesome theater in my basement but the wife doesn't seem to concur with the idea "  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 04-12-2013 06:32 PM                     I have seen a barbecue grill made out of a lampe house. You could even keep the blower for inflaming it, and use various openings for smoking/exhausts. Someone else built a minibar into the lamphouse and had the whole projector sitting in his living room as a decorative item. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged John Roddy Expert Film Handler Posts: 114 From: Spring, TX, United States Registered: Dec 2012 posted 04-12-2013 07:06 PM                        One of the other theaters in my company painted some old Strong platters to represent ginormic Captain America shields to help promote the release of that film back in '11. Ohhh, that was fun. I think we still have that thing around somewhere too.  |  IP: Logged
