Author Topic: ELR's: try again? Jesse Skeen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1517 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 02-22-2003 03:32 PM                     The first movie I got on ELRs, "Fire Down Below", looked like it was printed as 2 continuous reels but still had the changeover cues onscreen where they'd normally be. The tail end of the first reel said "reel 3" and the beginning of the 2nd big reel said "Reel 4" too. If they do ELRs again they should print them without the changeover cues!  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 02-22-2003 05:07 PM                    Jesse suggested: If they do ELRs again they should print them without the changeover cues! I like the dots when I'm part of the audience; it helps me track the progress if the movie isn't interesting enough!  |  IP: Logged Scott Balko Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Redwood Falls, Minnesota, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 02-23-2003 03:05 PM                     If I remember correctly, "Mad City" was printed on a non spliced ELR (continuous strip) and I don't think it had cue marks either. I know the reel heads were just 1 and 2.  |  IP: Logged
