Welcome to BigScreenBiz.com

Usually when a new employee comes on board I usually walk them through what will become their duties. I also pair them up with someone who has been on the job for awhile to kind of whatch out for them till they get the swing of things.

I have nothing written down. No Standard Operating Procedures. I'm wrong in not having a written fomat in place? How do you go about training programs?

For projectionists, the new SMPTE Projection Manual is a good starting place:

Likewise the articles in Kodak's publications:

And the discussion, tips and manuals on websites such as Film-Tech:

And an appreciation for the history of sound and projection:
