Yah, I have been very lucky to have found my passion very early on and been able to work in the those fields, from running the projection booths in a Drive-in in Texas, to a number of movie theatres down there...then to being a sound engineer in a recording studio at a performing arts center and finally to being the director of cinema in a 2500 theatre in Brooklyn. Never a day did it feel like any of it was work. I must have done something good in another life to have it so good.
BTW, I know it is probably out of left field, but since I mentioned it, if anyone out there wants to play with that 3DTV system and the 3D tapes, you are welcome to them. I think I have 5 headsets and maybe 5 or 6 3D movie titles on SVHS tape -- THE HOUSE OF WAX, ANDY WORHOL'S FRANKENSTEIN, JAWS 3D and a few others I can't recall at the moment. The system has a small multiplexer box that syncs the LCD active glasses to the 3D images. It is driven by the sync signal from the tape deck's composite output signal, so you need an SVHS tape deck and it has to have composite output (which I believe all do). I believe if it has component output, one of those 3 color jacks has the sync signal and you can get it off that to drive the multiplexer for the LCD glasses, although I never tried that. If you have S-Video, I think you can do a break-out and get sync off the chrominance signal, but again, that would all be experimental, as I never tried that either.
Anyway, anyone out there who would like to play around with this, you are welcome to it. All I would ask is that you pay the shipping and we are good.
