The whole feature probably would have looked mushy if the two overlapping images were "out of phase." After the main title, the opening credits (text in plain, boring Helvetica type floating atop a dimensional starfield) fused quite nicely. Generally, the brighter the scene, the better the effect worked.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-18-2003 08:59 PM                     There is more than one title I know of that the lab reversed the negative segments in credit rolls  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

I am also told that if the contrast between foreground and background is too big, a certain amount of ghosting is inevitable. I am basically 100% sure there is no reverse effect due to a splice - the chief projectionist at the location is very thorough and he took a lot of time and care to make up the print.  |  IP: Logged
