Author Topic: Dumb question: What is the term for crappy splices between reels? Daniel Fuentz Expert Film Handler Posts: 230 From: Fresno, CA, USA Registered: Apr 2003 posted 04-12-2003 11:33 PM                     To tell the truth, I never complained becuase I had no knowledge of how things work in a booth, so if the theater staff tried to fob me off with "that's the way the movie is" I wouldn't have known any better. However, now that I know for fact that there ARE things the theater can do to avoid this you better believe I will be complaining the next time I see this happen!  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 04-13-2003 10:58 AM                    Scott, to be honest I can't remember what brand the horns were. Everything looked homemade to me when we took them out and put real speakers behind the screens. I don't know if it was jut a situation where it was ready to go or not but it just so happened to go when that pop occured. Then they started telling us to bloop the splices. Go figure:)  |  IP: Logged Christopher Seo Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 530 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-13-2003 11:07 AM                     Darryl, Thanks for the clarification on the circumstances of the speaker damage. Those things sound like they were on the verge of death anyway.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 04-13-2003 11:15 AM                    yes at that time I was so happy when we sent that junk to the speaker junk heap.  |  IP: Logged
