More history of the making of the film. In 2014, the "IMAX in Basement" studios got an overhaul with color neutral paint, 4K projection, IMAX quality sound and more thanks to some incredible volunteers, most notably my Dad, David van Vuuren. He believed in the project when all of us had lost faith.

Guess who now has a kiln located just 5 feet from his high vacuum and gas fill manifold!?
Its me! Its actually @alifeeney 's kiln and I got her a fancy glass kiln controller to run it (Digitry GB1). I just bought some #6 wires and big 240 volt, 50 amp plugs to give it a test firing. Oh and a power meter- not trying to have my rent go up arbitrarily.
The kiln is an old cruddy pottery kiln from the 70s. Bought for cheap from a Ganesha temple in downtown Brooklyn. I think it has been fired maybe once. We will most likely be replacing the elements soon.
Cant wait to punch a hole in the side of it and plumb a glass sidearm straight into it! :)
Anyone wanna fire some pots in Brooklyn!?
