Kinoton America, Inc. conducts technical training course on studio film projectors
Kinoton America,
Inc., a subsidiary of Kinoton GmbH, Germany, recently conducted a comprehensive
technical training course for post-production, processing lab and studio
clients in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, CA. Clients representing more than 10
companies attended the course. This marks the first time that technical
training for studio equipment has been conducted in the United States.
The first two days included detailed training
on the functioning, trouble-shooting and installation of the Kinoton FP 30 E-Q
Quality Inspection Projector, one of Kinoton GmbH’s three studio film projector
models. A fully equipped sound stage at Loyola
Marymount University’s
School of Film and Television served as the ideal
location for hands-on interaction with the technology. John Syrjamaki, Head of
Production at the School
of Film and Television,
had insisted that Kinoton America, Inc. conduct the training at LMU when plans
for this studio projector training course were revealed this past spring. After
all, what could be more important to LMU’s Film and Television School
than educating experts on the design and functioning of complex electronic film
projectors?
The second half of the technical training
course convened at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills featuring Kinoton FP 38 EC II
High-Speed Projectors. AMPAS management understood the value of training their
senior technical personnel in their own facility.
