Fire Walk With Me Sound Instructions for Theater

Post by dugpa »

Hey All,

Years ago, I remember downloading a scan that someone had done with Lynch's sound specifications on how to screen FWWM in a theater. It was a letter that accompanied the film reels for the theatrical release. Did anyone manage to keep the download of that file or know where I can get it?

Thanks!

Found the clip on twinpeaks.org although I guess I got the scanned letter for MD mixed up with the usenet post. Here it is:



To: Theatre Projectionists
Re: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me

David Lynch, the director of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
has asked me to contact you regarding the sound level of
his motion picture. Mr. Lynch has put a lot of effort
into the soundtrack of Twin Peaks, and feels that the best
reproduction of sound will be achieved by increasing the
volume 2 decibels above normal. Your efforts to
accommodate Mr. Lynch will surely result in greater
audience enjoyment of the film and, therefore, greater
box office sales.



Thank you.

So why wouldn't he just up the volume on the film, instead of asking the theater projectionist to do it at the theater? Seems like he has more control in the first method.
