16mm Films: Leveling on Screen

Video Transcript

"Hi! I am Grady Johnson with Karma Train Productions and today we are taking a look at 16 mm film and I’m representing Expert Village.com. Now we setup our projector, we’ve gone ahead and threaded our film and now we are ready to take a look at it and see how we are doing. We got our screen up there. Let’s see how close we were getting ended up on there. Now we can see, even though we got a shot in the right distance, it’s not quite lined up with our screen, so we want to go ahead and pull that on over. Now you can see we are running a little bit of our film which we don’t really want to do. So what we are going to do is we are going to end up backing this up in a minute and I’ll show you how to do that too, okay, now we can see that we are going to have to level it out a little bit, and get our height up that’s for sure. We are going to turn this wheel pretty much clockwise. I’m going to go ahead and raise it up. Okay, that is a pretty good height, that’s working for us. This one has some bad legs on it, some of these are going to be like that, they’re going to be a little uneven, and you may want to throw a book or two under it something of that nature whatever you need to do. But with this particular model, when I put the leveler up and I square that all up, that is going to square it up on the screen."
