Author Topic: Seeing Dots Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 09-29-2008 04:17 PM                     Robert, thanks for the note of appreciation, I try to think how frustrated I get when people leave grease pencil cues behind, and I try not to inflict that on the next guy. I agree that it is very frustrating to find cues made when there are perfectly made and positioned, visible cues on the interneg and print. I put it as the folks making those extra cues are too lazy or stubborn to learn how to do a properly timed changeover. Thankfully I've been spared the torture of running cartoons.  |  IP: Logged Jeffry L.

Eagle Eye's were almost halfway down the side of the frame SMPTE 301 eliminated the anamorphic cue position of SMPTE 55. Therefore, anamorphic prints that follow the SMPTE 301 Standard have cues in the same position as "flat 1.85" cues. Onscreen the cues will be closer to the right edge and lower than SMPTE 55 cues.  |  IP: Logged Linda Corrigan Film Handler Posts: 7 From: Yelm, WA, United States Registered: May 2008 posted 10-07-2008 07:57 PM                     thanks for all the responses. I do know what a cue mark is! I used to run projectors that were carbon arc, and I do remember the cartoons with all the crap on them. I did not however know of the cap marks. Thanks!
