Resume

Representative/Producer: Jim Sant'Andrea Midwest, Chicago, IL. Worked with writer/rep; sold and produced nine shows in nine months. Jim and his brother had patented an audio visual technique that utilized several images on a single 35mm slide projected onto individual screens of the same shape. Below are a couple of examples of this type of show. My biggest challenge at this job was understanding how the images were created inside an animation camera, then explaining it to the camera operator so we could produce the shows in Chicago.

While at Sant'Andrea I began to program multi-projector shows on dedicated AVL Show Pro lll computers.

Sant'Andrea image example 2

This example shows a single slide with five separate images.

For this particular show the foamcore screens were hung above and stage right of the podium. The white circle was used as a built-in spotlight when a speaker was at the podium.

The designer of this presentation was Bob Woodruff. This example shows images spanning four of the screens. This is what the audience would see without someone at the podium.

This technique allowed a simple dissolve pair of slide projectors to create a lot of apparent movement.

For this show we used only one large screen, cut to fit the outline of the group's logo. The use of 35mm slides in portrait orientation was quite unusual as was the 16' tall screen.

This presentation was designed by Michael Mitchell. This example is one of the frames that used the whole space for images.

This example shows the frame that was used to surround a 16mm film image. There was also a frame that had a proper-sized blackout for 35mm slides (which were used for speaker support). This example shows the previous frame in use at the meeting with a 16mm film running in the blackout in the middle of the frame.
