Screening speed bumps

The Kanowna team went down to the Film and Television Institute in Fremantle yesterday, to ensure everything was in place for Thursday's screening.  Luckily they did.  It took two hours to load the hi-res film into the system, which was a surprise, but it was worth the wait.  Finally we got to see the film, in all its glory on the big screen.  It looked fantastic, but during the screening it was noticed that it wasn't playing back in 5.1 surround.  The question was asked of the technician who explained that other files would need to be supplied for this to happen.  Once again, nothing is as easy as it seems.

The bonus to this story is that 'Boogie Monster' Post have been using Kanowna as a test and we now have the film in blu-ray and will be screening of this format on the night, with full 5.1 sound.  Woohoo!
