Of all 15/70 prints to throw, this would make the biggest mess. Are those little screw on under-side clamps REALLY strong enough to keep it from launching if the platter went screwy?  |  IP: Logged Jason Whyte Expert Film Handler Posts: 132 From: Victoria, BC, Canada Registered: Sep 2002 posted 11-07-2014 10:24 PM                        It would look a little something like this.  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-07-2014 11:24 PM                     quote: Bobby Henderson If anyone has yesterday's Sunday editions of the NY Times, LA Times or Sunday papers from Austin, Toronto or other cities showing Interstellar in 70mm please check them for those ads.

Oh my. That would not be a fun task cleaning that up. Not to mention all the potential damage that could happen.  |  IP: Logged Chris Markiewicz Expert Film Handler Posts: 209 From: Glenaviegh, County Tipperary, Ireland Registered: Aug 2002 posted 11-08-2014 10:00 AM                     Saw it Thursday night at Grand Lake in Oakland, screen 1. 70mm changeover on AA-IIs. Looked beautiful; bright,steady, no scratches or dirt. One lab splice in last reel. Sound was very good except for overpowering music in the mix. First two trailers were digital, then switched to film. This is my favorite local theater. No commercials, presentation is always topnotch.  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

It is capable of changeover operation but not running that way.  |  IP: Logged Chris Markiewicz Expert Film Handler Posts: 209 From: Glenaviegh, County Tipperary, Ireland Registered: Aug 2002 posted 11-08-2014 11:12 AM                     My bad, sorry.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 11-08-2014 01:44 PM                     There is a lab splice in every reel on every 70mm print at the AB join. I'm assuming you saw an additional lab splice in the last reel??? Or did you have a quick blip in the audio at the AB splice and assumed that was the only lab splice? (There is missing timecode on the negative there.)  |  IP: Logged Chris Markiewicz Expert Film Handler Posts: 209 From: Glenaviegh, County Tipperary, Ireland Registered: Aug 2002 posted 11-08-2014 02:46 PM                     That's the only lab splice I saw go through. It may very well have been the AB splice, but there was no audio blip. There was absolutely no dirt or signs of handling on this print.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 11-08-2014 03:53 PM                     So it was mid-frame?  |  IP: Logged Chris Markiewicz Expert Film Handler Posts: 209 From: Glenaviegh, County Tipperary, Ireland Registered: Aug 2002 posted 11-08-2014 04:07 PM                     Yes  |  IP: Logged Mark Ogden Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 943 From: Little Falls, N.J.
