35mm film for cinema screen

[peter halle]

JMB,

If you have not yet proposed I have some advice for you:

Do it personally and forget the outrageous.  That only serves egos.  Do it privately and make special plans.  It will mean even more.

....  Then spend the saved money on more Festools or your CNC.  Just kidding on this.

Sorry man, I saw it late as well. The best thing for you to do would have been to craigslist an ad or check in at the local Uni with a film program, you could have gotten someone to do almost all that stuff as a project for themselves. AFA the cinema goes, you could have purchased time on the screen just like any other advertiser, so next time, ask them what it costs to advertise.

Never thought of that good idea. 

Advertise cost....  reason I never asked was because I thought it would be SILLY SILLY money and thought their is no way I could afford it.

Shes wearing the Ring Peter she just couldnt wait  [tongue]

I know what your saying I just thought it would be a surprise on her more than my ego thing [tongue] because she has been asking me for AGES and hinting for so long about it, it kinda ruined the moment she was even going that far to say you going shopping to day for my ring so I can wear it tonight?  

I just kept leaving it cus I wanted it to be a surprise but it would never be a surprise really so I thought ..... cinema ready to watch a film she would NEVER of seen it coming be a total surprise.    Take her out for a meal or go some where private she would of known what was coming.

I just wish I caught this thread when it was happening and I could have been of some help. While i don't work behind the camera myself and it's not my feild of expertise, I work along side the bastards that do for 80 hours a week. Kinda kicking myself on this one JMB.

Congrats again though!

it's pretty reasonable really. Oh well, as long as she doesn't find this thread you could do it for an anniversary.

Well...... for a 30sec film it would cost me £1800 +   [eek]  

That's a bit extreme.  I would have shopped around for a better price... film prints do cost $$$, but that much?

Most places that project film have a secondary projector that they use to show the previews / ads before the show starts.  Often this is a regular slide projector; you might have considered using a still image and just having a slide made out of it to insert into the deck with the other business ads and such, if that is what they were doing - would have been a lot cheaper.

I know there was a church that made a movie and wanted to show it at a theatre that couldn't project the format they had, so they took a regular video projector and substituted it for the slide projector to show their movie with.  Not ideal, but it worked...

EDIT: found: http://www.dvfilm.com/specials.htm - looks like it is the "minimum charge" that would bite...  ouch.

I did look around and like you just edited on your posts with that website link... I already had a look on that site as when I was checking the prices out and found  £1800 wasnt that far out from other places.

They would do a still image for £450  but still alot of a still image.
