- "The Master" in 70mm at the Biffen, in Aalborg, Denmark. 17. February 2013. Short film to document the show with audience expectation and reviews. For the lover of DP70s, perforations and the 70mm film format. Experience what goes on in the projection room operating the DP70 projector and the 70mm film. See close ups of film travelling through the machine, and across the room. A real authentic experience. Real noice - all analouge, no digital trickery. REAL FILM. Lars von Trier gave it 3 thumbs up.

Owner of the cinema: Am I on now? Welcome to the cinema in Aalborg and in the moment we´re showing T. P. Anderson´s [sic] film "The Master". Not only do we show it, we also showing it in the original 70mm version. And we´re extremely proud and happy about that. We can now only hope that the audience will come and see it in the real 70mm format.
Girl with yellow shirt: I´m going to see "The Master" because it seems like a really interesting story. I don´t know what it´s about from viewing the trailers. And also because it´ll be show in 70mm and it will only do that here and at another place in Copenhagen and the screen should be perfect, because it´s a curved screen. And the director had a vision with this format, that it had a significance, so I´m really excited to see what effect it will have on the story and the whole experience.
Woman in cinema: It´s truly a great visual story. I think...it´s a flat image but the image is sculptural. the opening scene itself, with the helmet. it looks like silver but it´s completely sculptural, as if you dragged into the image. I think that´s amazing. also the sand sculpture. it should be hard to see it, you know it´s a woman but even the nipples are completely in detail. I think it´s the image quality that makes it so amazing.
Man in cinema: It´s an amazing film, an amazing story. there is some footage of water and I´m completely certain that it´s only on 70mm you can capture the waves like that, made by the ship. then there´s some CUs of the faces and it´s really amazing. also because of the great performances. They are all great. It´s not a movie where you think "Ah, there was that actor who was embarrassing". They are all great. So, it´s all pretty perfect.
As the world is turning against digital sound,and are shops are filling with vinyl,let us hope the same shall to projection , film will never be bettered!!!Keep up the good work
The Hateful Eight brought me here
me too
+Benjamin Gardea me three
+Saleh Ahmad fo show!
+Saleh Ahmad haha Yup, that's how I got here too!
the best,this is amazing,this is a real cinema.digital is only a big tv for home.
bring back 35mm and 70mm film I love the audio pops and light going through the film.
So true. But no 'pops' on 70mm, it was one of the advantages of magnetic sound. LOL.
No magnetic in dts for the master
I always imagined this to be a very, very delicate process but from the way it's being handled, the reel looks surprisingly sturdy.
Excellent ! Even lacing up the DP 70 the correct way - being reverse threading. It's tough to show future projectionists on how to reverse thread their units so the leaders never touch the floor.
Also interesting that his thread up leader is IMAX film.
Platter (Kinoton?) has the similar threading pattern of an old Christie AW2 with both sets of rollers on the one side of the tower.
Wayne, you had quite the honor there! DP70's were extremely rare in Canada. Especially here out west. Only two cinemas here in Vancouver had them to the best of my knowledge. Where those beautiful machines ended up, anyways best guess.
Thanks for the great memories! I spent many hours running 70mm on the DP70 West Edmonton Mall (Edmonton Alberta Canada) in around the mid 80's. Of course it was mag track in those days. It was a 5plex the other 4 theatres were 35mm'. All 5 theatres were platter.Found this link on F-T where I see what is going on in the booth but never joined. Most 70 movies had excellent picture quality and sound some not so much.'I loved the booth there it was like a second home for me. Thanks again Wayne
I just watched The Fabelmans. Brought out the geek in me although I have never handled a reel of film ,8 mm or 70 mm, in my life.
Thanks for your interest lovitz69. It was Famous Players at that time. I understand they really wanted to get in the mall as Cineplex were already there. The projection equipment was all second hand. The theatre closed in the late 90s, when Famous built a new collus style at the west end of the mall. Don't know where the equipment went but the DP70 went over to the new theatre and was sitting in a corner in the Imax booth and might be still there. Wayne
Thanks for posting.I especially liked the cleaning of the parts afterwards.
loved all those closeups of the transports in action.
And BTW, liked the little "comments" from 2001: A Space Odyssey! :-)
The two Philips DP 70 Projectors are both 100 % ORIGINAL TODD-AO at the Imperial Cinema on de Blurry Street in Montreal, Canada. They even have the fully functioning original Todd-AO 24/30 FPS projector motors on them ! The run so incredibly well without excessive noise from their Geneva Movements. They've been fully restored. You should check those out Thomas.
Iterstingly, the vast of 70mm projector heads are Philips DP70. No other, no Century 35/70mm, no Cinemeccanica Victoria 8/X, no Bauer U2, only DP70. I know this Oscar winning projector is the best.
Dp70 was great but so was Cinemeccanica. Handled them both a lot
@@SHA70 I worked on Cinemeccanica Victoria X projector.
Affirmative, Dave. I read you. Great film!
Thanks for the video. It bring back memories of running DP70s and 70mm back in the 1970s although reel to reel changeover. One comment though. It appears that the aperture plate retaining clip was not all the way engaged. I remember it was horizontal when engaged, but that was on the Norelco AAII version. Any comments?
I don't know what they were saying since I don't understand Danish, but it was very interesting to see how a 70-mm film projector is threaded and run. Reminds me of my high-school days running a 16-mm projector.
But 16mm did not run at 110 feet per minute and even the greatest 2 hour epic films weighed less than a quarter of a ton. Few people realize that a 70mm epic film was about 4 miles long.
To me Mackenna's gold and Guns for San Sebastian are great 70 mm movies, the desert rocks becomes live in M.G.
Sounds familiar to me all, until recently I had the same profession and also worked with the famous DP70 (TODD-AO) projector and also worked with a 35 / 70mm non-rewind system
simply.... beautiful.
Running this film is jaw droppingly complicated
I love it though
that 2001 reference was totaly unexpected :D
wonderful!
Thanks!
unfortunately I saw this only on the blu ray disc I rented.This gave very little affect of 70mm compare to Around the world in 80 days and Oklahoma in letter box on t.v.A percentage of the film was shot on 35mm and blown up to 70 mm,form what I read
Oklahoma was filmed twice, in 35 mm CinemaScope and 70 mm Tod-AO. Frank Sinatra refused to do the movie, he wanted to be paid twice! True.
@@jimcrawford5039 I already knew that thanks
