Face transplant Pat Hardison, 41, a former firefighter from Tennessee, lost most of his face when his fireman’s mask melted to it during a blaze in a mobile home in 2001. He said his disfigured features (left) made his young children scream in terror – and he despaired of ever living a normal life again. But now Hardison (pictured top inset before the blaze) has been given a new face (right) – and new hope – thanks to the riskiest face transplant ever performed.

This is how movies are delivered to your local theater.This is a Peli 1300 flight case, which most hard drives containing the DCP (Digital Cinema Package) are shipped in.

23

Inside is a CRU DX115 caddy, which contains a standard Western Digital 500gb hard drive, Linux formatted in EXT3. Here, it is slotted into CRU’s accompanying Move Dock.

24

Depending on the theater’s set-up, the caddy (right) may slot straight into their server, and the files ingested (or in some cases, played directly from the hard drive without the need for them to be transferred). If the theatre is unable to slot the drive directly into their server, the Move Dock is a separate external dock that allows the drive to be connected to the server via a USB or SATA connection.

25

Beneath the caddy are all the necessary cables for the move dock to work. The theatre should already have these, but we like to include them so as to make sure they’re on hand if required. Our power adapter is currently awaiting replacement, after it made a rather loud bang and started giving out smoke the last time it was plugged in.

26

And finally, this is the contents of the DCP folder, as viewed on a Mac. It contains: Video (MXF) Audio (MXF) Packing List (XML) Composition Playlist (XML) Asset Map Volume Index And that’s how movies are shown at your local theater. If you’d like to check out Candlestick, it’s available now on DVD from Amazon, and to download from iTunes, Google Play, MGo and more. (Here endeth the shameless self promotion.)
