Another General Cinema "Coming Attractions" that is greatly needed would be the one from the 1960s. Greg Maletic from Vimeo has the best re-creation of the "Feature Presentation" from that period (as well as the late 70s 'purple kaleidoscope' versions), but has never re-created a "Coming Attractions" or a "Short Feature." These were something else General Cinema theaters used to offer back in the day when Disney features often involved both a film and a short, or when United Artist feature films were accompanied by Pink Panther/Ant Aardvark/Inspector cartoons. The GC percussive jazz tune playing three times per visit (coming attractions, short feature, feature presentation) did come across as repetitive, but it was something they used to do in the late 60s/early 70s.
+PoisonedDragon1964 Yeah, I want to see if I could get him to post a clean version of the kaleidoscope (without the film grain effects). I would like to use it in my home in hi-def!
+Gerald De Leon As far as I can tell, his two versions of the kaleidoscope (Coming Attractions and Feature Presentation) at Vimeo are pristine, without grain effects. Have you seen those?
+PoisonedDragon1964 The ones I find of his on Vimeo have the small pops and scratches that he added to it. It's not bad at all, very nice, I'm just looking for a super clean version without anything added to it except the vectors.
Thank you so much for posting this!
What a cinematic attraction keep it up be safe n godbless
