Hateful 8 70mm Roadshow - From the Projection Booth

- I was a projectionist for the Hateful 8 70mm Roadshow. Here's a video of my experience! Equipment: Christie AW3 platters retrofitted for 70mm, film cleaners, DTS sound, and a Century JJ projector.
What a beautiful memory of my time as a cinema operator, 65 years ago, I used two Herneman 2 machines, and when they broke I repaired them myself, I had an optical sound reader and I liked adjusting it to achieve the maximum sound quality.
Same here ! Miss it
Matt, I'm an old projectionist, this brings back so many memories. thanks for the video, it's awesome.
Josh, its a dying trade! I'm glad I was able to work with film again for this, probably for the last time. Thank you for your kind words!
@@mattdickey8193 I am sorry about. I am from India. My grandpa is a operator, now he is no more I too remember good memories. I love the film projectors especially sounds... But now everywhere QUBE,UFO and Satellite Operative projections replaced... I missed film projectors
@@mattdickey8193 I am also an old projectionist from the mid-eighties. Used Christie and Century back in the day as well. I seem to remember a name called Strong too....but it's cloudy. One thing I didn't see, which I'm sure is somewhere, is hiding the baggie with weed in it....INSIDE the projector near the bottom of the sprocket and gate area. I'm hoping it got simply taken out of the shot. Such good memories for sure.
I'm so amazed that 35mm film projectors are still being in use on cinema theaters. Beautiful. I hope this analog-technology will never go away.
Yeah, there's 70 cinemas in the UK that still have film projectors running 35mm and 70mm. And more than 350 in the USA. Glad they weren't able to kill it. Let's keep film alive.
I am pleased that 70mm is at long last making a comeback after decades of neglect.
The digital Arri 70mm camera (65mm to be precise) is so popular, that it won't take long before we have more movies shot in 65mm digital than on 65mm film. Few people expected that to happen 10 years ago, when almost no one was using 65mm - film or digital.
Does this format come in Black and White? Because I could see that being very inexpensive, if it's the same as black and white photo negatives.
Black and white or color, the prints are equally expensive propositions. Not talking paper prints, but release prints for projection.
@@BlaBla-jj6sh That's is dogshit. Do you really think people are going to convert? There are even more people going back to film now since you wrote that 10 months ago - than before. You won't be able to get 20k out of those digital cameras in the near future. Film is here to stay.
@@annikaratten899 Before you accuse me of dogshit, first check if you happen to have some dogshit where your reading skills should be. I didn't talk about film vs digital, I was talking about 65mm in general and I noted that thanks to the Arri 65 camera, there are soon more movies shot in digital 65mm than there ever were in 65mm film. In other words, thanks to digital technology, 65mm is finally here to stay albeit more often in digital fashion than captured on film. Oh, and nobody's going to get any money out of selling those camera's They're rental only.
Once upon a time in the Cinema!
Did you predict the first part of his new movie?!?! haha
@@JosiahBotting no, the song in the beginning of the video is from Once upon a time in the west
Hudson Bezerra he’s referring to once upon a time in hollywood my guy
@@frostbitepokin9520 the comment from Francesco was made way before once upon a time in Hollywood was released
Hudson Bezerra exactly, which is why Josiah said that he predicted the name of the first part of Tarantino’s new movie and in this case it’s Once upon a time in Hollywood
something so beautiful about film the projections, the size of the reels the loading of the movies and seeing beauty on the big screen this is why I love movies .
simply magic, the way "Movies" should be
yes! it always fascinated me as a kid watching the man in the window set up the movie for us. So cool how it takes an artist to show another artists art lol
Thank you for making this, these little details from behind the scenes fascinate me.
I was fortunate enough to see this at London's Leicester Square in 70mm, what an experience !! If all movies looked like this, I'd be in the cinema weekly.
70mm movies were awesome, I don’t think I missed many when I was young! Thanks for this. Australia.
Beautifully shot! And the music from OUATITW sure adds to the effect. Quentin would be proud!
A magnificent beautiful video which chronicles the art of the traditional projectionist .This is true cinema, an artistic creation lovingly crafted and shewn ,a trip to the cinema should be an occasion and an opportunity of artistic enrichment.
As forthe digital brigade,they shall never replace the experience of excellence.They said the English Longbow was dead - wrong,the turntable and the tape recorder was dead- both are undergoing a popular revival of magnitude and permanence
LONG LIVE CELLULOID,LONG LIVE THE ARTISAN PROJECTIONISTS
Sorry Edward, this is not exactly traditional projection. That would be reel to reel with high intensity carbon arc lamps , like the Strong Constellation 170, Strong Jet Arc, or Ashcraft Super Core Lite. The 70mm projectors I’ve seen were Phillips/Norelco 35/70 machines. I know Century and Simplex made 35/70 projectors, but I’ve scarcely seen them. I was a projectionist from ‘71-‘89 in Denver. I never had the chance to run a 70mm film.
This is cinema. This is what it means to watch movies and to love them.
I know this is super random, but I haven't threaded a film for like...9 years. This was so nostalgic and amazing to watch! I miss those projectors and being up there! :p.
This makes me want to cry. Doesn’t hurt that Jill’s theme from once upon a time in the West is thrown in here. I went to the amc 16 roadshow . Thank you whoever you are and wherever you projected the H8ful Eight it was a an authentic and impactful moviegoing experience and projectionists deserve more love for the job they do. Respect
Matt Dickey - I Spent 7 years in two many different Projection Booths to count back in the 90's. Only ever had the pleasure of running one 70mm Print in all that time, which was Ron Howard's "Far & Away" ( 6 Track Mag sound - in our THX certified house.) Interesting 70mm adapters seen here used 4 the DTS reader. Never saw those B4. THX for sharing.
That music is incredible. I can't stop listening its so beautiful.
Such an interesting and intricate process. Thank you for the video.
This is why film always wins. Pushing buttons on a digital console just never is the same.
Huh...i never imagined setting up a film on a projector can be such a tearjerker.😢
Nothing like flying celluloid. This is a wonderful look at 70mm. Great little video.
My dad was a projectionist he worked the original Cinerama process and also ran35mm and 70mm shows he could take apart a projector and rebuild it . What a craftsmen hehadtodothe filmbuildups and breakdowns and do manual change overs no platters then all reels in each projecters he would change the rollers and film gates for 70mm. .
Great video!, I was lucky enough to see the 70mm roadshow version at the Showcase Cinemas in Providence, RI. Truly an incredible experience!
Damn I'm jealous
I think that film projectors have better pictures and sound than the digital projectors of today. The film pictures look more brilliant and the color is so much better than the digital ones of today. The sound from the film pictures is so much better also. They really need to go back to film.
Thanks for making this. I was a projectionist in Australia some years ago. We had 35/70 mm projectors in on of our cinemas but was never lucky enough to see or thread a 70mm film. I will be keeping an eye out for future 70mm releases.
As a kid, I used to have kind of love for the projection room. I always wanted to be there. I don't know why but after 40 years , the sound of these reels rolling still fascinates me.
SUPER VIDEO !!!!!!!!!!!!
"DTS Sound" Really rare in modern cinema. RIP
+UberInfiniteGaming Hey there. It NOT dead. DataSat is DTS. They simply changed their name when they went to Digital Projection.
Beautiful!!!!
There is nothing seeing movies on 70mm or 35mm . Thank you for a wonderful job you did!
Thank you for this video. Great music choice too. Always loved La Maestro.
The cinema returns! Very interesting and great to see! :) Thanks.
Great video and great choice of music. Thanks!
Incredible music. So beautiful.
Ultimi detentori della migliore qualità possibile, e pensare che fu realizzata negli anni 50.
Interesting to see. I was a projectionist when I was at college, 35 years ago. I ran a pair of old Kaylee 21s'. I loved the job. Great to see people having a lot of pleasure watching this now.
i used to run movie projectors, this is a great video, easy to watch, slow and methodical and not all sped up so you can't follow it, and the music, was glorious. nice job Matt
I love watching these projector videos (that sounds funny, doesn't it?). A far cry from rank amateurs like myself. Most I ever did was run a 16mm projector in high school. But I remember you always had to get the film loops just right so the audio would be in sync with the video. I never ran any of the big machines, but the 16mm was rather cool in and of itself back in the day.
Wow thats so amazing. And great music choice.
I did 35mm projection and this brings back memories. I miss theaters using film to show movies!
nice touch w/ Once Upon a Time in the West playing in the background
This is a lovely meditation. Thank you.
a thing of beauty 🙏🤘
This was gorgeous. Please make another video detailing the projection process. this stuff fascinates me.
I was working downstairs when Far and Away was projected in 70mm with magnetic sound and it was on two platters with an intermission.
Brings me back to spending days in the projection booth with my dad.
Thanks for the memories. We were 35mm back then but I remember the platters and our Century Projectors. DTS didn't exist yet. But we had a silver screen.
love the spinning shots on the reels
Great video Matt! I used to work on the Century 35mm change-over system, when I worked in the Censor's office here in Ireland! We run 70mm where I work now, but I haven't had the chance to run anything yet!
Epic video and big grande music and song
this is such a cool video, with the Once Upon A Time In The West music, it's such a perfect homage to film! ✌✌
Really amazing.
I start work at this theatre in a week!
ive missed film so much. I am beyond excited for the opportunity to work with film again. I've only workes with 35mm so 70 will be exciting.
Fitting audio homage,thanks for posting.
Loving the Morricone!
Really cool to see this. This weekend I'm going to the Hollywood Theatre in Portland, OR to see Interstellar in 70mm. Looking forward to it.
At work we had a projectionist we called Big Rick. I remember when this film came out in special 70mm showings he was saying they were paying 100 dollars an hour to find 70mm projectionist for this film because they had a shortage of people who knew 70mm. This was right after we got rid of our 70mm for a 4k Christie digital. He passed away not shortly after. Can't help think about him when I see this kind of stuff. He was very passionate about his profession and always said he wanted to die a film projectionist whenever there was talk about projectionist going the wayward.
That's a nice story in a way... I sometimes get booked as a projectionist for 35mm and 70mm screenings as well. I was one of the last young generations to pick it up, and it used to my job during uni which I loved. It was my best time ever. Now, whenever there is a special screening on film here in London, I get asked to come in as a freelancer :), because hardly anyoneknows how to do this anymore. All the people I learned it from are retired or sadly passed away... :(
Soo majestic
Brilliant, many thanks.
Nice job Matt. I used to be Chief Technical Engineer in the UK when AMC first stated. In those days we used Vic 5s and the odd 70mm shows had Philips DP70/75s These days of course it's all digital.
beautiful
Such a skilled job.
Projector legendaris 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Watched my dad do this for decades, he even showed me how to do it. I was always nervous closing the "gate" never knowing if I would damage the film or not be framed correctly. Wasn't 70mm though, just regular 35mm
I am hook on these videos i don't know why
Wow I was doing this with 35mm only 7 years ago, running 7 35mm projectors and 3 digital but what you did in this 7min video I did in 48 sec per projector :D
This is putting my big 1980's 3 CRT Projector to shame and it even supports low end HD. Every film movie should start with a video like this!
This Movie Magic Will Be For Ever In Our Memories....The Motion Picture Film
Hi Matt,
Great Video, Such a shame now that digital has taken over the world. I was a projectionist too, when film was being re-vamped
from Video tape. In 1985, I was one of the first at AMC Milton Keynes, great times.
matt thanks for the video great working with film i was a projectionist for 25 years now they are just machine minders thanks
Stephen Hill q
Good job on video production!
thanks for uploading
Arte...simplemente arte.
Thanks brother from India
This makes me miss my JJ
I used to work with Century JJ Mag readers, but I never had the change to get a 70mm print to run it on. We had all the rollers and hardware for the switchover in the cabinet, but never used it.
Had the privilege of threading Century 45s and Cinemeccanica Victoria projectors, fed from SuperPlatter tables. I miss those summers. I had 8 screens then 12. My worst experience was on a print of Summer School. There was a chip in the print and I guess as it spooled onto the take up platter the print split and half of it spooled and the other half ended up on the floor. Had to stop the screening, cut the damage out and re splice it. Lost over 5 minutes of the film.
To all you young kids out there - this is how an actual MOTION PICTURE is screened.
as I kid, I always wanted to work in a theater and learn how to thread a film...but I was born in 96 and by the time I was of working age, digital took over :(
Ayy same here! Although I do have a manual threading 16mm projector. I think that's as close as i'll ever get. However, there is a private cinema I know of that still shows film prints.
Put a sock in it, pops.
Paul Russo Don’t be a dick.
@@theamericanaromantic Go fuck yourself. Why are you even here troll? Digital sucks. I look forward to when all the indie films you love are gone forever 50 years from now. I'll have a good laugh when the time comes!!
great choice of music
I saw this in 70mm at Village East Cinema in Manhattan. It looked amazing. Hope 70mm sees a resurgence.
पहिले जमाने में मतलब बहुत पीछे नही 70mm में शोले पिक्चर देखी.. बडी स्क्रीन,. दो इंटरवल और साडेतीन घंटे की पिक्चर.. स्टिरिओ फोनिक साऊंड सिस्टीम.. वह मजा अलग ही था. धन्यवाद...
That's the most manual 70mm projection video I've seen on here. Cool!
Got to love that old tech with a DTS sticker on it :D.
That was cool thanks for that
I helped make this system. This is cool to see!
Cool! I always wanted to be a projectionist when I was little. I liked home movies because I could run the projector, not because of anything in the movies themselves.
I was searching how to play and cast film on screen in cinema. Lastly I found it. But I need to know the film how to look at and how it is played. Scientific mechanism of cinematography.
Thanks for presenting an antique instrument.
Bravo, my friend.
Great job thanks
Long live 70mm. Long live Kinopanorama® widescreen, thanks to my work at K W P A and the ownership of the sole remaining panoramic camera in commercial film production, the PSO-1960 model Kinopanorama® camera.
i saw this damn high , it was amazing
Quick question. Did Warner Bros. bring you back for Dunkirk (since they bought the projectors that were used for the 70mm screenings for The Hateful 8 from The Weinstein Company for the 70mm Dunkirk screenings)?
MysteryMii215 yes. I am running Dunkirk as we speak. At the same place as well
Are you going to do Nolan’s “Tenet” as well?
@@alphabetaxenonzzzcat same ,plz answer
Very good, thank you, Matt. I have projected 35mm in my distant past, and this brings a lot of that back - I envy you the 'no rewinding' though! :)
Strong Highlight II. Every AMC in my town had one. The competition used Christie.
Thats so cool! Thanks for sharing this.I was curious how it worked. I saw the movie at your theater in 70MM!
+Doug Lipski Glad you got a chance to see this movie in glorious 70mm! I looked at the 70 vs DCP side by side, and the digital looked so washed out, black looked blueish, etc. 70mm was perfect! What a coincidence that you went to my theater, small world!
+Matt Dickey im always at that theater! To be honest it was e second time i saw the film. The first time I went to NYC, Village East, I figured what better place? To be honest, it was, meh. Small screen and I ended up in the back row. Projection was fine, but way too small. So two days later I went to Hamilton, theater 20. Good size screen, terrific projection, heard the whirr of the projector (in both places tbh) but Hamilton beat NYC. I felt like I really got to see it there. And impressed that AMC would even show 70mm film!
How i miss this job
Well Matt..such fantastic photography..capturing all the close ups in complete focus! For a novice like me it looks soooo complicated! But I know like anything in life practice and experience shine through! I hope your cinema complex did well from this film..did you have any of the Kenneth Brannagh Agatha Christie 70mm films on recently ?
Did this a millions times
Century JJ's are the best!
This is a marvel
One of my biggest movie regrets is not seeing this movie in theaters.
I always used to keep the doors open when starting....just in case, but it never run-off.
A GREAT
Well done. Wish I had four arms to give this video four thumbs up!
