Thanks for all the messages on here everyone. Unfortunately the theater here in town won't be able to do it, due to both the fact that IMAX Corp owns the projector (and the theater doesn't want to clean out emulsion bits, etc from the machine), and due to time constraints with the changeover, even if IMAX would be fine were fine with a dirty projector (obviously a couple emails back and forth). Alas. Great discovering a lot of your tips though. Hope this thread is useful for someone else who might want to take on such a project.
