Author Topic: Film cement joins Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 10-09-2004 12:57 PM                     Why are we discussing ultrasonic splices in a cement splice thread? Ultrasonic splices are made by welding two strips of polyester film together. Cement splices are made by chemically bonding two strips of triacetate film together.  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-10-2004 01:35 AM                        yeah, wrong thread, but whatever. here's what i do with lab splices. if it's mid-frame in a flat film or not on a frameline in a scope film, i remove the frame. i make an 8-perf splice so the tape edges are not visible. scope frameline or flat near top or bottom of projected frame, i cut a thin sliver of opaque tape to bloop out the visual "scar" and the soundtrack. if it's a bright enough scene that the scar is less objectionable than covering it up, then i'll only bloop the soundtrack, with a small wedge of opaque tape. carl  |  IP: Logged Barrett Jarabek Film Handler Posts: 7 From: Mitchell, SD, USA Registered: Oct 2004 posted 10-14-2004 03:07 AM                     dont lab splices affect your sound track?? i would remove them where ever they are, bloop and tape it.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.
