Would be interested in hearing more about this process. And what changes do you remember being made, between showings, that night.
The pictures/video of that night have become significant reference material for everyone round here, so learning what they lack or what they got right would also be great to hear.
thanks for stopping by.

And many of us don't have a clue and are not privy to that info, so all you insiders reading, write down your story for posterity. and dump it into the public domain when you are ready. Get together, write a book.
Bare with me -- I'm a Mainframer and I'm still learning how to navigate the forum. :)
As far as calibration to the print we had, we made no visual calibrations to the print that night. We spent most of our time on calibrating the sound. We were going from the Twilight Eclipse soundtrack (can I have a "Yuck!" please?), which was a DTS soundtrack, to the Dolby Stereo soundtrack and that required us to bump up the volume and bass quite a bit. We did that during the first show, while the movie played.
I'll have to go back and look at the pictures. I keep hearing comments about the ship at the beginning looking pink, but I don't remember that from the actual show. Each IB Tech print will be dyed slightly different, so there will be some color differences even between prints.
As for The Senator print's location, since I don't know Harmy in person, he might have an idea where it is located. I heard about this print a few months before we ran it. Its location and owner were a seriously guarded secret, so I doubt many others know where it is. I've also heard there are a few prints floating around, so other prints might have more of a "social" presence than The Senator print. I saw on another forum today where someone is claiming to have the print copy we screened and they are claiming to be scanning it. I can tell you that with The Senator print, that is absolutely not true. The print we screened was hidden away after we screened it. I do know that it has not been uncanned since we screened it.
