Remembering
Jurassic Park.
Like
I (might) have told
before, I used to work in the Cinema myself.
Starting
of as an usher, quickly promoting to projectionist and after a while
theater-manager in various cinemas in Holland.
I've
presented and projected quite
a lot of Spielberg-(directed)-films
over the years. I can honestly say I love them
all, some just a little bit more than others. And even though I
didn't think that highly of Jurassic Park at the time was released
(yes the effects were
amazing, but the story
wasn't (in my opinion)), It was the first Spielberg film where I
could actually sum up mistakes after only one viewing, the film did
have a lasting impact after repeated viewing.
The regular fold-out version
of approximately 1.0 by 1.5 meters
This took only a couple of minutes to fold out
and place firmly on the site.
It
was also one of the first times I had to build various different
cardboard displays for the same film, for advertisement purposes in
our local cinema. Only recently I (re)discovered that I had made a
few pictures during the building process in those days.
The bigger version of almost 3 meters height,
It took me and my colleague almost 2 hours to build
The disadvantage of such a big display is that it has to be glued a lot,
which means it can't be unfolded afterwards,
that's why I still have the smaller display,
but only a very small part of the big one (the sign directed by Steven Spielberg).
Thought
it would be
fun to share
them with you. Sorry
about the quality, but hey I was a projectionist, not a photographer.
Ronny.
