Colourspace at the Atari shows - which Barco?

My God...It's full of stars - Neon, Psychedelia, Colourspace, Trip-a-Tron and all flavours of VLM...

Colourspace at the Atari shows - which Barco?

Post by d0kk »

Jeff talks about his 3-lens Barco projector, the heavy CRT beast he projected Psychedelia and Colourspace back in the day. Does anyone have any idea which model it was? I want to talk about it in the film and the obsessive compulsive in me wants to know I'm showing the right one...

I'm guessing it's one of these: http://www.curtpalme.com/CRTPrimer_23.shtm

Sorry, no reply to your question but it IS nice to see you here again...

I had worried a bit what was going on with the project as the heartofneon.com site used to show a "funding bar" which didn't get updated for absolutely ages.
Funnily enough I took a look just a few days ago and it seems the bar has been removed from that website and I did wonder "oh is it all going down the pan?" but then I found the patreon pages and recent updates there.

I'd quite like to PM a question or 2 about something, can I do that [either here on forum or maybe with email] and expect an answer ?

Wotcha. Yeah, Sorry I haven't been active on here at all. I'm terrible at staying in touch, and the HoN website should really have something I update regularly on there, but since it's me doing the site building I stopped at the simplest viable version. A blog just seemed like more work for me that would keep me from actually making the film. I'm on Twitter all the time though. That's where the most active HoN followers are. There's also a newsletter - https://www.heartofneon.com/#newsletter. Usually goes out on Sunday. #71 went out yesterday. I upload updates every month to the Patreon page too, a video diary around the 17th, and footage form the film and commentary the last week of the month. Clearly I could have done a better job of letting people know about these things : D

Anyway, I got a substantial cash injection from a follower at the end of last year that pushed me close enough to the funding goal as to make it irrelevant, and I've been recording interviews since December. I have one more interview booked that appears to be happening next weekend (Peter Connelly, fingers crossed), and one other I'd like to get but seemingly less and less likely (J Allard, who expressed interest a few months ago, but has been tricky to pin down, so maybe not).

I'm always happy to answer questions. Here is fine, PM if you prefer.

Oh damn you, I just went down the rabbit hole and now I know everything about cleaning up CRT projector tubes. Damn you! :lol:
