They put the titles in the order we were playing them and added a piano music track for sound. We simply deleted the currently playing title before each week end's performance. That way we could advertise the coming attractions even without real trailers. The color was good, the images were sharp and the music was not too bad even with the weekly editing.

If you use FG on a Scotch-Guarded print it will bubble like Steve said...like using Rain-X. If it doesn't, then you're not using it correctly.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-30-2010 07:37 AM                     If your entire print was covered in Scotch Guard, I would not use FilmGuard because it would be a waste but we're not talking about whole prints. We're only talking about a 15-30 second snipe out of a whole 2-hour program. It doesn't prevent you from using FilmGuard. You can still use FilmGuard. It just won't work on that particular 25-foot section of film which has been treated with Scotch Guard.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-30-2010 08:51 AM                        .....and the spotting on the snipe is not visible on the screen. quote: Chris Slycord It can be a Muslim elder? Yup, and any Arabic person....or, in the urban vernacular, anyone with a very dark tan....or Ed Farhat, pro wrestler, aka The Sheik (1949-1998)....or Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri, The Iron Sheik since 1972-2005....or Joseph_Cabibbo, The Sheik since 2006....or THE SHEIK (1921) starring Rudolph Valentino....or Shiek, the shoe brand. Yes indeedy, a plethora of shiekness.  |  IP: Logged John T.

Filmack bought out Pike's stock when the owners decided to retire. We run the Let's All Go To The Lobby snipe at the start of the trailer pack on all our family movies. It is well received by our patrons, and hey, if it only sends one person to the concession stand each show, that's fine. No harm, no foul. The stock has held up fine. We clean them with Filmguard from time to time with no ill effects.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-30-2010 12:14 PM                     quote: Frank Angel .....and the spotting on the snipe is not visible on the screen. Just about the same effect as when using FG on normal film. You can see it the first few times it is run then it subsides. It takes a little longer to go away but, after a while, it becomes virtually invisible. Besides, the snipe is only on-screen for 15-30 sec. I don't think anybody but me has ever noticed it.  |  IP: Logged Steven J Hart Master Film Handler Posts: 282 From: WALES, ND, USA Registered: Mar 2004 posted 05-30-2010 06:37 PM                        Pike Productions is no more, but Filmack is distributing their library. I've used Pike's snipes since 1998. They were a nice company to work with.  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-31-2010 01:43 AM                     Frank, the Scotchguard line item has been on Filmack invoices for decades... --jhawk  |  IP: Logged
