Interviewer The person(s) performing the interview Richard Wallace Interviewee The person(s) being interviewed Neil Thompson Date of Interview 2014-11-11 Location The location of the interview Gateshead Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound We knew, oh it must be about thirteen or fourteen months before how it was going to work, ‘cause we got a letter saying that, you know, now that the digital is going to be installed there's a chance that there'd be redundancies. I think that was the September 2012 and yet we didn't leave until the April 2014. So there was about three or four cinemas done first to see how it went, and then they said what we're gonna be doing is changing one or two and then all will be changed all at once. The first one was put in about 2009. It took about a month or two to get in installed. I remember when it first came, of course all the staff came up to look at it, they said, “Oh I must see what this is”. Of course a lot of them were being funny, they’re saying, “Where do you put the cups?” ‘cause they thought it was one of these, like a tea maker or a coffee maker. The digital got changed more or less overnight. There was about eight screens to do. There was about four of the engineers came in and all the digital equipment arrived one night and it was all just standing, waiting to be put in. And within two days all the projectors and Cinemeccanica stuff had been pushed to one side and the digital machines had been put in, all the plugs were all ready just to put into the wall. They had all been rewired weeks before. Because the lads that I worked with were, when I was on they'd say, “Hey, this is not going to take long, they're gonna do this and they're gonna do that.” And I'd say, “Oh well you know, wait, you know, we might be here longer than you think.” And of course when digital was put in and it didn't take long. All that had to be done was be set up with a laptop. It used the same amplifiers, all you need to do was put a server. I was there when they were putting the last ones in. In fact number eleven was the last one to be put in and I was the last one to lace up a 35mm projector in that place. And the lads were just standing, watching me and I was lacing up and I said, "When this has finished you're carting this out aren't you?" And he said, "Yeah, as soon as that's finished we'll be getting rid of that." And there was a digital projector right behind, ready to put in its place. And once the film finished I went down the bottom end to do something, and when I came back it was all just pushed out the place. Four of them just got hold of it and pushed it to one side, the plinth, the lot, the projector. And the digital was in its place. And that was the last one to go in, and I just thought, “My god,” you know, I just couldn’t believe it. They had it all wired up ready and they said, "Right just check it and on the next show you can go ahead." I said, "What, already?" And he says, "Oh yeah, it's ready." Unbelievable.

It had been experimented on two or three times, but they hadn’t got it completely perfect though. But when it was perfected it did come rather quick. I must agree and the changeovers in the cinemas was very, very quick really when you think of it. I don’t think there's a multiplex in Birmingham now that could show a 35mm print. About 90% is digital now. Put a lot of people out of work really. When you think that when I started there was five projectionists for one theatre, and then there used to be three projectionists for a multiplex of about 12 screens. And now it’s one technician for a multiplex. It’s changed, hasn’t it? I used to be scared. I was really scared stiff at the MAC when I was left with the digital. I think because a lot of the controls are very small and you’re used to, sort of, dealing with a big thing and then you’re suddenly dealing with a panel this big that controls everything. I think it just sort of distracts you in a way when you’ve been for years and years looking at all this big equipment and big knobs and all that sort of thing. I got through it all right but it used to scare me a bit, I must agree, for fear I’d press the wrong buttons or something. And I never. In all fairness I thought digital, load of bunkum, you know. I thought that the quality would never, ever be as good. But I must agree, I've seen it and I've got to agree it’s not just good, it’s better. Plus the fact you don’t get all the scratches. I mean some of the Sunday stuff we used to get there was so many joints in. Well it was an insult to charge people to watch it really. Scratched and all joints and flashing all over the place. Really, really terrible.
