Things have finally started to move forward on the theater. I had hoped to post these periodically as things progressed instead of a "batch" download:

WOW! It's really coming along. I love that big metal beam. It looks like small children could use it as a catwalk, it looks HUGE! Shocked

It's been mentioned before, but thank you for sharing this with us! Thumbs Up

It's a real treat to see this.

Any final conceptual drawings you can or would like to share ?

Have you found a seamless screen yet ?

i cant recall the size again, but stewart can do 90' seamless. now the cost (due to handling) is high at that point, but they can do it. when they make screens, they make 90' wide sheets at a time. (really cool process. low ceiling room, then spray on the ceiling the chemicals which make the screen. most of the time, it could be 4 or 5 different types of screens, then they cut it up into the final products.)

but they can do 90' seamless. if somebody tells you other, let me know and i can connect you with the right people.

Just got this e mail from Don Stewart ......

Hi Tom,

No problem. We can produce up to a 36 foot by 90 foot seamless screen
with Cinema Perf. We are limited with our smaller Micro Perf pattern to
screens just under 14 feet high.

Regards,
Don Stewart

I'm having trouble figuring out the pictures but it is probably because I am dumb. I just can't figure out how the projector on the top floor will project on a screen of the far wall as to be seen from the lower floor. Is the top floor supposed to be a balcony? If so, why does the floor go so far towards the screening wall and why doesn't the top floor have any risers?

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

I have really enjoyed this thread so far, especially the arcade antiques and collectables.

A few construction update photos.

Am I seeing this right? Is that going to be a suspended drywall ceiling? I've never seen it done like that before. Even with a laser, it must have taken quite a while to install all that unistrut.

Also is this still similar to the design of the finished theater ?
