Decorating Tips: How to Run a Movie Theater

Video Transcript

"Hello! My name is Nancy Adler and on behalf of Expert Village, today I'm going to tell you how to operate a cinema, a movie cinema. We're still inside the Tinker Street Cinema and I'm going to show you decor. Since we have been here, we try to make an improvement. At least once a year do something. What we have done in the past is we put these red curtains; we draped the theater. The curtains and in the insulation behind it is very important because you need to absorb the sound. Before that, the walls were plastic and the sound would often bounce, and it doesn't make for optimal conditions. We also have replaced the seats in the past. It's getting difficult to find these seats because the floor in this auditorium is raked, which means that it slopes down. Now the trend in movie theaters is to build stadium seating. The seats for stadium seating are different, so these chairs are becoming hard to find. I have been advised rather than tear them out and buy new ones to maybe reupholster them."
