I want to thank the animation Pimp for writing such a Pro-Projectionist article. I'm an animator, but in college I was an Audio Visual Girl and Projected many a Film Festival every week. Although I almost never messed up, one guys 8-mm sound film made a loud, constant superfuzzy sound that didn't cover up the words, but merely abstracted them. He came into the booth and said "What the F*%&! This film is about my mother and sister dying of cancer!" Hey man, I'm really sorry--wait was he trying to make me feel bad because of his mistake? Guess who went out to have dinner when we were doing the sound check? His films were such that we thought it was part of the film. Anyway I always want to tell people off who heckle the projectionist. It's usually not their fault. One comment about the article though, it was hard to read which may result in people not reading it. Cheers!
