***3. ARTICLES AND THINGS YOU NEED TO READ AND DO
Watch: “Digital Vista Vision: The Next Era of Digital Imagery” Another FREE
webinar with me and Michael Cioni. Tuesday, Aug 16 at 11:30AM PT
“A decade ago nearly ever digital camera was based upon 2/3 CCD imagers,
the digital equivalent of super 16mm. Eventually super 35mm CMOS imagers
took over and every filmmaker had access to the 35mm look. The next iteration
of image quality is digital vista vision and Panavision recently announced the latest
and greatest in digital cinema technology with the Millennium Digital XL.”
Step into the Future.

Now that LACPUG, DMALA and the Gallery Theatre have a new projector, we are
selling the old Sanyo PLC-XF35NL projector. Cost is only $1200 OBO. I have just had
it checked out by Tek Media Group in Burbank and it is in good working condition.
This projector is perfect for large conference rooms and/or churches and more large
spaces. It’s only been used a few times a month for 12 years at the Gallery Theatre
in Hollywood. I prefer local pick up only.
More information on this projector can be found here:
