Film Product Seminar to Include Special Bonuses

Showmanship Entries are due March 1st. Visit our website:www.NATOCalNev.org for information and entry forms.

Regal’s Edwards Long Beach Stadium 26 Century 16 Downtown Pleasant Hill

One of the most popular NATO of California/Nevada annual events is coming. The Spring/Summer Film Product Seminar will take place on April 4th in Southern California and April 6th in Northern California. Clips from more than 80 fi lms will be screened with introductions from the respective studio representatives. As in years past attendees will have a fi rst look at some of the big-gest fi lms to be released during the spring and summer months and the opportunity to provide their theatre staff with an update of future programming and those fi lms which will lend themselves to special promotions. A great opportunity for every manager!

As a special added attraction, the documentary CINERAMA ADVENTURE will be shown at the conclusion of the product seminar. CINERAMA ADVENTURE chronicles the amazing story of the fi rst interactive fi lm process, using three cameras and three projectors to present an immersive fi lm experience which includes 20 minutes of actual 3-panel Cinerama footage and

lives up to its copy line: PUTS YOU IN THE PICTURE! The fi lm also includes the history of the wide screen process and interviews with many of the stars of the various Cinerama fi lms. This is a must see for anyone with an interest in fi lm, and maybe your only chance to see it on the big screen. Following the showing, a Q&A session with the fi lm makers of CINERAMA ADVENTURE David Strohmaier and Randy Gitsch will be conducted.

In addition to all of the above, the winners of the 2nd Annual NATO of California/Nevada Show-manship Awards will be presented. Indeed, a full day is promised as well as many other surprises. It all happens on April 4, 2006 in Southern California at Regal’s Long Beach Stadium 26 Theatre and April 6, 2006 in Northern California at the Century 16 Downtown Pleasant Hill Theatre.

Reservations, which are due by Monday, March 20th, are on a fi rst come basis. See page 2 to make your reservation.

Cyan DyeAnalog Soundtracks

By Ken Jacquart, Cinema Product Manager; Motion Picture Division, Dolby Laboratories Inc.

Converting to a silverless cyan track offers major benefits to both the motion picture industry and to the environment. The cyan track is not only safer and simpler to produce; it is less damaging to the environment, reduc-ing the use of water and chemicals in the developing process.

The cyan dye track requires a red light reader in the projector’s analog soundhead: without one, the new soundtracks will play badly or not at all. A red light reader provides several practical benefits to the theatre, beyond the ability to play the new soundtracks, and the Dye Track Committee encour-ages the conversion of all theatres to red readers.

The vast majority of US screens have already been converted to red light readers, with most major studios intending to evolve to the cyan dye track format. If you own or operate a theatre that is not yet equipped with a red light reader in your projector’s analog soundheads, it is recommended that you install one as soon as possible.

20th Century Fox, New Line Cinema, Sony Pictures, and Universal Pictures have committed to releasing 35 mm prints with cyan dye analog soundtracks. These leading studios now join dye track pioneers Buena Vista, DreamWorks, MGM, and Miramax in furthering the film industry’s transi-tion to the environmentally friendly print-manufacturing process.

On October 21, 2005, Universal released “DOOM” with cyan dye DOOM” with cyan dye DOOManalog soundtracks. Universal will begin releasing all upcoming films with cyan dye analog soundtracks, including “King Kong”, which comes out on King Kong”, which comes out on King KongDecember 14th, 2005. All prints will have the new tracks. The new process will have significant environmental benefits.

To play the new analog sound-tracks, your projector must be equipped with a visible red light analog reader. If you attempt to play this soundtrack using a white light or infra-red reader, the sound level will be greatly re-duced.

Digital playback is not affected by the new process. The digital soundtracks (Dolby Digital, DTS, and SDDS) play fine with either a red or a white light reader and no equipment changes are necessary for any of the digital soundtracks. Yet, the analog “back-up track” will not be an effective back-up track without a visible red light analog reader.

“What is a red light reader? and what is the difference between it and a

white light reader?” you may ask. Besides the fact that the light source color is red, the big dif-ference is how it works with the cyan dye tracks as compared with older silver tracks. Both reader styles have a light sensitive pick-up device (solar cell) which interprets the light that is cast upon it from the fi lm soundtrack. The light source for a silver track is a conventional white light bulb with a tungsten fi lament. The light source for a cyan dye track is a red LED (Light Emit-ting Diode). Without getting into the technical details, suffi ce it to say that you cannot play a cyan dye track on a projector that has a white light reader because the analog sound will be very quiet and contain a lot of hiss.

If your projectors are not yet equipped with red light analog readers, it would be wise to contact your theatre equipment dealer as soon as possible.

Do you have a question about the opera-tions of your booth? Feel free to submit ques-tions or suggestions for upcoming Tech Tips to [email protected]@dolby.com. We look forward to hearing from you. ▼

REDSTONE: No day and date

Viacom and National Amusement Chairman Sumner

Redstone left no doubt, at a recent Q & A session, where he

stands on the idea of the industry moving toward simultaneous

releases of feature fi lms to theatres and DVD or video on

demand platforms.

“Any exhibitor playing “Any exhibitor playing “pictures under these

circumstances would be committing suicide;

it’s not going to happen.”

Five Forms an Employer Must Give a Terminated Employee

The law requires employers to give an employee specifi c forms when the employee is terminated.

These forms are:1. Notice of COBRA Rights. Any employer with a group

health plan (including medical, dental or vision) who has 20 or more employees must extend federal COBRA rights to continue benefi ts under the plan to qualifi ed benefi ciaries. Cal-COBRA applies to employers with 2 to 19 employees. Ask the employee to sign an acknowledgement of receipt of COBRA rights. Also provide the COBRA election form. If the employee’s spouse or other dependents do not live with the employee, send out additional COBRA notices to qualifi ed benefi ciaries.

2. Health Insurance Premium Payment (HIPP) Notice. The HIPP program requires California employers to give terminating employees notice about special state programs that provide for the state to pay the COBRA premium under certain circumstances.

3. Notice to Employee about a Change in Employment Relationship. Under California law, employers are re-quired to give immediate written notice to an employee about a change in the employment relationship, including discharge. The notice must include: (a) the company name; (b) the employee name; (c) the employee’s Social Security Number; (d) the date of the action; and (e) whether the termination was a discharge, layoff, leave of absence or change in status from employee to independent contractor.

4. For Your Benefit (Form DE 2320). This pamphlet explains California’s Unemployment Insurance and Dis-ability Insurance programs and must be distributed when an employer discharges or lays off an employee, or places an employee on a leave of absence.

5. Certifi cate of Group Health Plan Coverage. If you pro-vide health insurance to your employees you should give this certifi cate to the terminating employee. The certifi cate gives evidence of the employee’s previous health coverage. The employee may need to give this certifi cate to his/her new employer if s/he becomes eligible under a group health plan that excludes coverage for certain pre-existing medical conditions. ▼

Big Tips for Small BusinessesBig Tips for Small Businesses Big Tips for Small BusinessesEliminate Sources of Workplace Stress

Today’s workers are under more stress than ever. Should that concern managers? Absolutely. Unchecked stress leads to increased absenteeism, lack of enthusiasm for the job, poor performance and bad attitudes.

Here are some of the most common causes of workplace stress and strategies for reducing tension:

Lack of controlEmployees list “a lack of control” as the number one source

of workplace stress.

Strategy: Solicit suggestions, comments and input from employees. The benefi ts are two-fold: employee anxiety will drop and you’ll gain valuable insight.

Lack of appreciationFailure to show appreciation for employee participation

generates stress that endangers all future efforts. After all, why would any employee give 100 percent for an organization that failed to recognize or reward him or her in the past?

Strategy: Showing daily, weekly and monthly appreciation will reduce stress, improve morale and increase productivity.

Lack of feedbackPeople want to know how they are doing and whether

they are meeting expectations. If you don’t communicate your thoughts on performance, employees become anxious about how well they’re doing.

Strategy: Daily or weekly feedback can reduce stress sig-nifi cantly. Managers who wait until after year-end to evaluate job performance are 51 weeks too late. Regular feedback is also a great way to reinforce good performance and nip problems in the bud. ▼
