There are, however, powerful arguments in favour of winding elements emulsion in which are being treated as archival storage masters (i.e. are going to spend most of their life unhandled and in a temperature and humidity controlled environment to the appropriate spec). For all the reasons Brad mentions, they don't apply to viewing copies.
quote: Stephen Furley
If for some reason I have to return a reel to the rack without rewinding it, I put it in the other way, with the film coming off the back, and the label not visble.
That's the reason why I'd always be paranoid about labelling both ends of every reel with the film title, reel X of Y, and whether it's the head or tail. When I'm giving our viewing copies to projectionists to show, I'll also put some red spacing on the tail as an extra safeguard (Gala in the UK also do this with their release prints, but I'm not aware of any other distributor which does).

I just heard that Deluxe Laboratories will be making a slight change to the placement of the cue marks on release prints as of January 2005. The location of the cue marks will now be as specified in standard SMPTE 301-1999:
quote:
6.2 Motor cue
The motor cue shall consist of black circles or clear
circles, printed from a negative which has had four
consecutive frames marked as shown in figures 6, 7,
and 8 for 16-mm, 35-mm, and 70-mm films, respectively.
The position and dimensions of this mark shall
be as given in table 1. Following the four frames
containing the motor cue, there shall be 172 frames
to the beginning of the changeover cue.
quote:
6.3 Changeover cue
The changeover cue shall consist of four frames
containing circles of the same dimensions and position
on the frame as those in the motor cue. Following
the four frames of the changeover cue, there shall be
18 frames to the beginning of the runout section of the
trailer.
In most cases, this will mean that the motor cue is 4 frames closer to the changeover cue, and the changeover cue is 6 frames closer to the black runout tail leader than previous practice, which had been based on the television leader standard (SMPTE 55-2000).
So, adjust your timing to make perfectly timed changeovers.
