Check out my new short film about the demise of 35mm projection.

Click the link on my signature and it should be the video at the top of the page, unless you are reading this far in the future.

C'mon. Surely there'll be film enthusiasts who still use celluloid...

Very few, companies are already releasing certain films in digital only. In the next couple of years the process will be complete and there will be hardly any left.

One of the contractors we have had on site there past couple few weeks is starting up a museum some time soon filled with unwanted film equipment he's collected.

Funnily enough, I was only thinking about you and your job the other day, and wondered if it still came on big reels of film, or you just shoved a DVD in and pressed play? :wink:

Yesterday was my last day up there, no more big reels now, they come on hard drives about the size of a video... :roll:

So no more flap, flap, flap as the reel comes to an end, and the projectionist is lying murdered on the floor?

I'm pretty sure I saw that on the telly once! :wink:

Thanks Sjoerd! I've deleted them both. :wink:

Bump, just in case anyone hasn't seen it yet, it only 3 mins long, so far it's made 4 people shed a tear, one of whom had to leave the room to compose herself, true story. :oops:

Really good Dave, very atmospheric and very very sad...................

Thanks Mad, that means a lot!

Am working on an extended version with left over footage and bits from the first video on my blog. Unfortunately I can't film anymore as the projectors are now gone. Wish I'd done more in the weeks leading up rather than spur of the moment.

It worked!

Very artistic Dave, is that part of the soundtrack from Crouching Tiger....

Yep. I did credit it.

YouTube won't play it in Germany, though, end to copyright. Meeps was right...
